I'm relatively inexperienced in performance modifications, but I have a 05 tl and was wondering about any cheap mods i could make to boast some horsepower...any suggestions would be helpful

 

I think a Cold Air Intake is about the cheapest thing you can buy that will add a good amount of HP. The UR pulley and thermblok spacers are cheaper but you want get as much out of them as you would a CAI.

 

PM me if you need any of these parts.

 

Thanks for the advice guys, I checked out a few online and I have a few questions...How much hp increase would I legit gain, I've seen a lot of ranges? Also is the installation easy, and is sucking in water a legit risk?

 

From what I have read here, you could get up to 20hp gain from all three mods. I haven't heard about sucking water.

 

you could hydolock if you drive through a huge puddle. CAi can tke a couple hours. search the garage and all the how tos. it will tell you what to do from beginning to end

 

I just ordered some parts fromEXCELERATE PERFORMANCE - Your Official Acurazine Vendor and Acura Performance Parts Specialist!! He is the man on here and you can try Mr Heeltoe also. So go for it buy all the performance parts you can afford peace

 

AEM Cold air intake took about 2 hours for a friend and I to install. There is a gain in HP, and the sound is amazing! Mileage also went up 2 MPG. The only way to hydrolock is if you're really stupid and go thru a puddle about 18" deep.

 

If you are worried about possible hydrolock, get an AEM bypass for the CAI. you can get them on ebay if none of our vendors have them. just do a search for AEM bypass.
