The K-series 4-cylinder has a stock exhaust manifold that's 4-into-1 with rather short tubes before the collector. You can probably get aftermarket headers.
The TSX has a K-series 4-cyl & so has a compatible intake manfold.
But supertrooper has a V-6, and the exhaust manifolds are built-into each head. What Honda calls the exhaust manifold is just the collector & warm-up catalyst. Pretty much like the Civic's R-series engine.

My point exactly. You can't get headers for a 03-07 V6.

well that sucks....
Yeah the design is kind of stupid, but replacing the headers wouldnt give enough HP gain to hardly notice anyway...

oh accordlx5sp I Thot u were talking about the i4 accords. The v6 is a different story. I guess all he can get is a CAI and exhaust.

ok, ok... first, and intake is a tube thru which the air travels towards the engine. the header is located in the engine side (u have 2) and the gasses pass thru it into the exhaust, the exhaust eliminated the gasses. ur car is soch (single over head cam). vtech works at high rpms (can't remember when - starts around 4500-4800). it does a few things: it holds open the intake and exhaust valves longer, so more air can come in, so it also injects more gas onto the engine. (search in youtube for a video explanation about vtech)... i think that's some basic info u should know... if i got something wrong plz correct me anyone... and one more thing about vTech (i've been told about this, im NOT SURE IF IT'S TRUE, is that it gives higher oil pressure to the cams to work better or "spin easier")
