The j-pipe will make the least amount of noise and make the most power, at least out of all the hard parts.

Thus far everyone is accurate in the effort to gain HP without stupid noise. I would have to say, the tune is one of your best options, with a proper tune after installing your whole intake and exhaust manifolds with proper resonator to stop sound your car should have the most power out of the stock motor without changing noise so much. HFPC are going to be a must, so that the car is more like a G-35 rasp which will not bother you, all sound being directed away from the cabin. Which is going to cost you a lot of money as usual 2000 complete exhaust, 2000 just for tune w/ necessary additions.
The only other option you have, since almost any mod to gain 25 WHP is like 2000k, is to fully rebuild your internals, and get a tune. Acura's are expensive vehicles to get HP gains, especially when you cannot do it yourself, the stock tune is hopeless.
***Generally speaking for Honda motors with the simplest tune 1L/100hp, do the math; 320 to the crank probably 285 to the floor

But even with that you will still need full exhaust system to maintain the excessive air flow; ***I hope that is a given since the engine has greater displacement.

the performance gained wont be that noticeable either. So just stick to stock if you like it quiet. Most of us like the little improved performance as much as we like how the exhaust or intake sounds.

OP if you search you will find tons of threads with a lot of info....
either way, let me list up some mods for you which dont contribute to making a ton of noise and will help you gain some HP
Reduce some weight off the car
Ultimate Cooling mod (UCM)
Coolant Bypass and PCV Delete
Bored TB (you can get an Air Intake if you like)
Ported and Polished Manifold and Runners
Jpipe and 3rd cat delete (check with your local laws)
High Flow Cats
UR lightweight stock diameter crank pulley
You can even get an exhaust and get it resonated so it wont make much noise....
Good luck

If you keep the exhaust stock. The V3 long tube jpipe should give you some nice gains without making your exhaust much louder. It will however give your exhaust a more aggressive tone.

1. The exchange of goods or services for an amount of money or its equivalent; the act of selling.
2. An instance of selling.
3. An opportunity for selling or being sold; demand.
4. Availability for purchase: a store where pets are for sale.
5. A selling of property to the highest bidder; an auction.
6. A special disposal of goods at lowered prices: coats on sale this week.
So you see, a sale doesnt always mean a special discount.

It's not obnoxious or loud, but it's not quiet either. Perfect

What do you mean by replace UR pulley? You already have an unorthodox racing pulley? If you mean the difference between stock diameter vs underdrive UR pulleys there isn't a big difference. The difference between stock and UR's lightweight crank pulley is noticeable though.

okay cool. so the pulley, j-pipe, and whats one other thing I could do that wouldnt change sound of my car too much for a decent gain?
and also, j pipes besides the ATLP one will delte the pre cats correct? what if I wanted to delete pre cats but want the ATLP j pipe? the pre cat delete is a big gain correct?

If you also want handling mods, progress rear sway bar is a good and cheap mod. Or coilovers.

okay. only reason i dont want PCD is because of the smell some people say it makes and I am worried about failing inspection. thats why I was thinking about HFPC? I am new to all this so I will start searching around more not really sure what the differences are
If you're only worried about power mods then those 2 and J&R ECU are the only ones I can think of that wouldn't change sound a whole lot. I wouldn't get an ECU without more mods though because it's expensive and it'll be more useful with more mods.
