i would start with the intake. IF you have serious mods on the car already then go with the ECU upgrade.

ecu is better than intake
definetely ecu it , ecu controls the whole motor overall, intake just helps breathe a little.

Start with intake because ecu upgrade isn't going to do that much without mods.

The basics that you always start with are Intake/Header/Exhaust (usually abbreviated I/H/E for you forum newbies). After that you start venturing more on your own little mods. On the RSX next mods I would get into are suspension stuff i.e. ESMM (that are motormount inserts made my Energy Suspension), all out new/better motor mounts. Lets not leave out the oh so practical intake manifold gasket made by Hondata.

huh? why would you get an ecu for a stock car? you mod it then tune it. not tune it then mod it to tune it again

best exhaust for a virtually stock rsx is the stock exhaust. there are almost no gains but noise from a larger exhaust on an rsx. i/h and a reflash will yield the most driveable gains for an entry build like this

upgrading the ecu now = pointless imo.
get some mods under the hood, then upgrade.

your opinion is worthless. someone who lists a radio, speakers and tints as a mod is fucking retarded |
