TSX Intake Manifold DIY / Q & A

[cd5myeleanor]

I used the P2R gasket between the injector base and the IM..
I have 5MT and I did not notice a difference with the swap.

here is an older video that was taken briefly...

It isnt a really good representation, especially since I came to a hill towards the end. In reality, the acceleration is smooth and consistent till 110.

I only noticed a small improvement on my 05 5AT, so your non shitbox probably negated that.

I'm hesitant to throw a TSX IM on my 07, because it has like a secondary plenum that's supposed to help low end torque while the TSX does not have one. I think it's part of the design of the a8 to get to max torque sooner than the a4.

Jeff if you decide you want an IM let me know. I have one for 06-07.

Easiest way to tell is the accord has a black intake plenum on the back of manifold and tax does not. The intake runners are fatter and the lower intake jug is bigger also

I am pretty happy with mine on my 2006 and i put it on right after I got this car.

Well only year and half later I finally have my tsx IM and p2r gaskets I actually notice good amount of difference. Plus in all that time I have ported and polished IM. So along with my weapon r intake with extension adapter I feel huge difference in power off the line and mid range.
