Like mentioned above, it feels like the entire powerband has opened up. Even though I'm still running gummed up exhaust I'm faster off the line and can feel a significant torque improvement out on the highway at higher RPM's too. My fuel economy is crappy because I'm driving it like a race car (and I have a gummed up exhaust) but I'm sure that will improve with the new header back I'm installing next weekend.

I had a deal worked out w/ someone on G7a before the switch to buy a 05 TSX IM, but then I lost his contact info. I'm glad I didn't do it because the honda dealership said it would've voided my warranty.
Guess I gotta wait another 45,000 miles before I can do this mod
You did the honest thing and asked the dealer about it, but no honda tech would be able to tell the difference between manifolds. The only way they would be able to tell is if they took the primary manifold off and read the RBB stamp on the back.

You don't need the bracket. I've had my TSX IM on for almost 2 years with no bracket and no problems. You should just install it and forget about using the bracket.

Everybody asks me about the bracket and I say that you don't need it..I have had my TSX manifold for longer than Tim and I also do not use the bracket. I advised Tim that he didn't need it, and he is one of the few people that follows my advice more than 70% of the time.

Time for me to lower that number. I will try to defy you some more Skippy.
I'd also like to mention that Keith (k.huston) also has his IM installed without the bracket.

Next, take one of the two throttle body nuts you just removed and put it on one of the TB studs backwards about half way down. Take the other nut and put it on right-side-up over the first nut so that they make a sandwich. Using your wrench and ratchet (or two wrenches), tighten the two nuts together. Then, use your ratchet on the top nut and remove the stud from the manifold while noting it’s position. Cool trick, eh? Do the same for the other stud and set them aside.
Question: Do you have to use the studs from the OEM honda Manifold on the TSX? or can I just use the studs that originally are on the TSX Manifold?

You must use the original studs from the Accord manifold. The TSX studs are longer and will not work properly.

to get the studs off, first put a wrench on the stud( like literally, let it hang there for a second, then take 2 nuts from the other studs, and then put them on in opposite directions... so that the flat part of the nuts will be touching each other.
the wrench that is now trapped on the stud, use it to wrench off the stud.... ( lefty loosey) the stud should come off, then just use a socket to get the other nut off, and u should be good..
if u dont understand that lol, please let me know, ill try to explain it better
