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

If you look at the gauges its an automatic.
