Default transmission blowing out from I/H/E upgrade?

i was on youtube and someone posted this comment

"Watch the steering wheel... The 6th gen accord tranny can't handle that much power. I had 170whp with intake and custom exhaust and the 2000 accord's tranny blew up. It's sittin' in my driveway with 1st and 3rd gear gone... But I ended up getting an 03 6 speed so I'm happy now "

this is the link to the vid, pretty fast accord...

That's damn fast.

I have personal experience with transmission failure on a 98 Accord. The transmission failures for the 6th generation accords are very common. Several sites on google support this statement including www.carcomplaints.com.

1) There is no way he got 170whp w/ just intake and exhaust.

2) That video is fake

3) I've had I/H/E on my car for almost 6 yrs and the tranny didn't blow until I started using nitrous.

02 Accord V6 Turbo With HKS SSQV is the title and he is most likely 250whp or more to move the car that fast

"ATTENTION: THIS VIDEO IS FAKE... AFTER TELING PEOPLE THIS, THEY STILL ASK ME WHAT MODS I HAVE DONE.... THERE IS NO TURBO ACCORD IN MY GARAGE...."

If you look at the gauges its an automatic.
