Welcome to AZ, I'll be the first of many to tell you that there is already plenty of information on this on these forums. If you go to the performance section, you will find plenty of ideas as well as using the search tool.

Off the bat I would say everything you mentioned is a good start. Unless you feel like slapping a supercharger on, most people that mod for power start with intake and exhaust.

the best bang for the buck performance wise would be a jpipe.
research.

the type s cant be supercharged unless you modify they comptech supercharger a bit for the type s 3.5l instead of the 3.2l in the base... but if u do it, it would be sweeeet and give you the most gain to the wheels compared to any of the other performance mods

The BEST way to gain power is JandR's turbocharger. But it'll cost you $6K. Your talking 100whp minimum.

just so you know there is a comptech supercharger that fits 03-07 accord v6 and 3rd gen TL for UNDER $3000 installed here in socal. you're talking close to 100whp gain with it, not some cheap supercharger. best deal i've seen around, better hop on it before its too late. even if you're not from socal....make the drive down here!

He's not going to drive to SoCal all the way from Long Island for a supercharger. The Comptech unit does not produce something close to 100whp. Directly from their site, the supercharger produces 60-65 whp. The turbo will produce 2x that much.

But supercharger or a turbo on a stock tls isn't a great idea. Let's talk about internals and so on. Be safe and do some bolt on people are getting some numbers with staying n/a.

Depends on your goals and how far you intend to go. One thing I noticed is the enough is enough level moves after you get into the power.

There are two people doing internals right now, bmeyer and libert69.

With the J&R ECU, they are predicting +300Whp with CAI, Pre-cat deletes, jpipe, third cat delete and full catback.

Whoa seriously under $3000 installed? I'm curious though would I pass smog check with a supercharger and is it legal for a street car?

you sure about that? on a 03-07 accord v6, 300whp is easily attainable with this supercharger with PCDs and exhaust mods. stock accord v6 it has ~200whp. now, with a TL, similar gains (100whp) should be attained, if not more because of the larger displacement.

keep in mind im talking about with a tune and everything, not ONLY the supercharger. the <$3000 installed INCLUDES the tune.

this is what it includes besides the supercharger:

-new 51R Battery or smaller
-new custom silla radiator
-new custom intake with custom fitting for ccv valve large K%N Filter
-emanage blue + P&P harness
-church automotive tune
-IK22 plugs (step colder)
-honda oem coolant

^that is obvious.

You also miss out on a ton of other things.

Check the COUNTLESS threads on the reason why most S/C (only Comptech) is not a full kit and it requires several more things to make it "reliable". And I'm sure they can't "tune" the TL.

No reason to explain further until you actually searched. So instead of "thinking" you know, try to actually know. What?

although a super/turbo charger would be awesome its not in the budget just yet... but im interested in everything else... maybe someone has installed or know of headers (maybe for an accord v6 or altima v6) that fit or any performance chips..... ure gonna have to pardon my lack of knowledge because im new to the world of modified cars and performance parts

^our cars dont have headers, we have whats called 'pre-cat deletes' which are straight pipes that replace your front and rear cat. you can also get jpipe, full exhaust, cai, ur pulley, etc etc.

spend some time in this section and youll find a lot of answers to your questions.

^also, there are no "chips" available.

There is a new ECU being developed which could then be used to add serious "hot rod" mods. meaning cams, internals, nitrous, ect.

You do realize that the larger the displacement, the crappier the Comptech blower becomes?
