There are no legit chips for TL's, in any generation. There's no such thing as a $1/HP mod. CAI's/Headers/Exhausts cost hundreds of dollars, and will only give you single digit HP gains, each.

Thanks Iceman. Hey, where do you get those long tapered front lower tapered lights next to the fog lights? Do they fit on 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD 3.7?

I purchased 2 of those chips & wired them together for a 140 hp/tq gain. Then I painted my stock calipers red for another 12 hp...

Sorry to interrupt. I'm a newb to the 4g TL forum but moap around Zilvia from time to time. Had to break the ice sometime and this seemed appropriate.

I would rather believe that putting on a SPOON or MUGEN sticker will give extra 10HP as at the end of the day, they don't harm the car in any ways.
