Replying to: paisan (May 28, 2008 6:44 pm) I read online somewhere it said the cold air intake part and flowmaster will allow more oxygen flow and will control better fuel consumption. Is this somewhat true? I don't want more loudness, I've seen flowmasters that dont make too much noise, it has that nice varoom sound. Thanks, Jim

Replying to: cybercool (May 27, 2008 7:19 pm) One thing I've heard about with those air intakes is that the air filtration isn't so great - which makes sense given the claim increased air flow. The problem I see with these is that with the modest gains you might get in performance, you're also allowing impurities to enter which would otherwise be filtered. Depends upon what you're after but, for my money, I wouldn't bother - you're just setting yourself up for problems down the road. Just my 2 cents...

So it seems the Accord and I are going to be together a while. In an effort to make the vehicle less, eh, dull, I am looking to add the Acura TL 17 mm rear sway bar. My vehicle is a 2007 Accord EX 4 cyl 5 speed stick. Apparently, the 17 mm rear sway bar from the Acura TL is a drop in with a little "pro-bending" on the exhaust system mounting bracket. It was also suggested that the front tie bar or stress bar or whatever you want to call it (the thing that ties the shock towers together) be added to the front at the same time. I am curious if anyone has done this yet and if they were happy with it. There is a HUGE front sway bar available as well, but the 2+ hours of removing and re-installing the front cradle doesn't appeal to me (gotta love Honda, like how on the '93 you have to take the entire suspension apart to replace the front brake rotors...). So, 4 cylinder Accord, 17mm rear bar, front strut tower brace...looks like its south of $200. Anyone done it?

Replying to: paisan (Oct 10, 2008 5:56 pm) I am scrounging for parts right now and we will see how it goes. I am not expecting miracles with stock 205/60R16s either. Maybe a lottery win will get me to 215/50R17s. I think these suspension "tweaks" will be the first mods and maybe next year look at soft-sports or the H&R "OE" series springs and Konis or Bilstiens. A little lower, a little tighter would be nice. |

| My Honda mechanic says it's not, that unless you've got enough g's being generated you'll never feel the difference. I've got a '07 V6 AT with a 17mm TL rear sway bar added. To my mind even a small improvement in handling is worth the $127 investment for a Neuspeed strut bar. Opinions? | |
