Atlas.46

So ive been debating whether or not to install the MDX spacer now, or sell it to upgrade to a newer manifold/bigger throttle body. Is there a difference between the automatic and manual Intake manifolds and throttle bodies. Well i just went through and pulled pictures and part numbers to compare the 09+ TL-SH AWD Manifold and TB to the newer Accords, RLs, and MDX... Also according to Wikipedia all J37 manifolds are cast magnesium(Accord is a J35 :p) What do you guys think? Im thinking the j37 MDX manifold/TB could work.


Accord 08+ Manual



MDX 07+



09+ RL



11 TL SH-AWD



Now on to the part numbers.

I have a j30a4 accord also.

Just debating the intake manifold/tb setup vs. ported/polished my current manifold/ bored tb.

Aren't all those manifolds the same since their to 3.7L v6s? Maybe except for the 08 accord?

I would expect the manifolds for the SUV's and the RL to be engineered/tuned differently, as in more focus on low and mid range as opposed to the TL /Accord manifolds being more focused on the upper part of the powerband.
