is it worth it?
I looked a few pages back, and I didn't see any threads specifically answering my question, but I apologize if I'm being redundant. I have an '06 TSX with the Automatic sport shift transmission. I'd like to put some money into it, i.e. specifically a new intake and exhaust. Is it worth it to do so, even though my transmission is automatic? I know there's no one answer, I'm just looking for what anyone else would choose to do.
Thanks

welcome to the club snope5

i have an automatic and i don't think that it's pointless to mod it. It's your car, do what you want from it, you still feel gains from the mods nonetheless so mod a way!

for me, i have the injen cai, greddy evo2 and random technology cat and if i could, i'd do those mods again! no regrets at all

however, do note that if you're only do intake, you will feel a noticeable drop in low end torque

I'd love to do all that...unfortunately I work at Blockbuster and I'm saving for college, so I can't do all that much....I'll probably get the EVO2 exhaust first.

As far as intake, which will hopefully be my second modification, I have no idea what I'll get. Any recommendations?

Yep Exactly... I also belive that cars like the TSX have a lot more potential from the factory... so I just like unlocking it!

Id go intake first to tell the truth... but either Injen or K&N Cold Air Intake... the most popular is Injen, just go with whichever you can find a better price for... Good Luck and Enjoy!

Also one of the Best mods you can do is Rim's/Tires.... Especially Tires if your not willing to put on lighter wheels
