I'm not looking to break the bank, but I'd be up for some small changes to give my car an additional horsepower boost...but without voiding the factory warranty at all. I have an '06 Sedan V6 6-speed. My only miniscule thought so far is adding a K&N air filter...just the one that fits right in where the stock air filter sits. Has anyone who tried this noticed the benefits?

Replying to: dairyshick (Sep 10, 2007 1:27 pm) I would look at doing an exhaust and a an intake of some sort. If you live in a place with a stable climate and not too much rain, you might look at a cold air intake system, although this may add some noise. AEM makes a water bypass thing that supposedly keeps your motor from sucking up water. A less restrictive exhaust system may add some power as well, along with some noise. Either of these should have a negligible effect on your warranty unless they are causing an issue for another component.

Having too little back pressure IIRC can cause your exhaust valves to get burnt. I believe the back pressure is in the cats, which are legally mandated so I think you could use a sewer pipe for your exhaust and still have enough back pressure to prevent injury. A Walker, Borla or Dynomax are all considered stock exhaust replacements, your you could go with a Japanese aftermarket hot-rod type. That burning exhaust valves sounds like a turbo related issue also, I don't think NA cars can get that hot.

So I was discussing my disappointment with some aspects of the Accord with one of my friends and he suggested the Acura TSX A-spec suspension components. He also mentioned the Acura crowd seems to go to a larger rear sway bar as well. I also found a Mugen short throw shifter, but I think its 6speed only. I think that would allow the car to remain mostly OEM but a lot more fun to drive. |
