I have an '08 TSX, and like I said in my previous post, it definitely does add value to my driving experience. I'm not sure why everyone is hating on the thing when you haven't even tried it.

Excelerate is letting you try it at no risk. Try it out before coming on here and telling us how bad you think it is. Like both OP and I reiterated, when we bought it we were initially only under the intention of trying it out.

But for the most part...on this vehicle they do nothing but shorten the travel of the pedal and nothing more.

I think this product has its merits...just not on this specific application. I race cars man...I kind of know what I am talking about here. But will admit...it probably would be an owner specific preference....and in the case of leg injuries and pains involved therein....it might have its merits with you....and possibly others as well. But its not going to make your car faster...therefore its worthless in my case.

On some cars it fits pretty tight so you might need to put a little spacer behind one of the bolts to give you a little clearance. In the end, the install takes the better part of 5 minutes. Very easy and yeah, I still love mine. . .

I know this is an old thread, but I'm trying to help a buddy install a sprint booster in his 08 TL. And I'm a noob when it comes to Acuras, so I'm looking for some help...

When connecting the device to the cruise module, how do you then place the little control unit all the way from the engine bay through to the interior dashboard? There is this slim extension cable that makes the sprint booster connection longer but we both have no idea how or where to put the extension cable from the cruise module location to the dash. Or do you just leave the control unit in the engine bay area somewhere? Which is weird but easier to deal with?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
