I would add a cold air intake, you will get a few extra HP and it will
make your car sound good... I put an AEM Cold Air I bought from
hondasolutions.com for cheap and it is awesome.

Hmmm... Chris, you posted five messages here in the past 24 hours, every
single one of them touting how great hondasolutions.com is - rather
suspicious.

Honda Tuning Magazine did dyno and flow bench tests of CAIs for Acura
RSX.The dyno showed that the CAIs made 20 extra HP,and much more
torque,compared to stock,and short rams only made about 5 HP,and not much
extra torque. They also tested the K&N filter,which did nothing.They had a
great,comprehensive article complete with graphs of the tests.

Re: SpiralMax... Too good to be true??
Well...CAI is good....spiralmax....LOL...spiralmax is a piece of
crap...doens't do anything...just makes a REALLY stupid noise.
But 20 hp from a CAI? Wtf...maybe 12-15 and some torque...IF you are lucky,
and if you have some other mods on your car like headers and
exhaust...otherwise expect more like 8 hp...but it really is a good
investment.
You don't have to keep replacing the stupid paper filters! and it helps your
engine run a bit cooler too.
