I thought I made a signature already? anyways, I'm having difficulty finding headers, cats, and/or performance related parts for my accord year, what other models are compatible with my car?

RE: Hello fellow Accord drivers!! A moment of your time...
jus worry about whatever u can get ur hands on for now. I have an intake and exhaust so far. My next step is a tsx intake manifold but it means nothing to u. First worry about the aem v2 then get the dc sports. After I get the intake manifold I will get the header and help u while I'm at it. Let me know when u get the intake. Whatever u do DO NOT PAY a pro to install it. It is so easy to install a caveman can do it (literally) I mean if u dont have time BUT do it urself if u do.

Your engine has individual ignition coils on each spark plug. There are NO spark plug wires in the sense that Nasty is talking about.
Getting new spark plugs would be considered a tune-up item, so IF your plugs are old & cruddy, getting new ones would restore some lost power. OTOH, the replacement interval for plugs is probably around 100k miles...

ok ok... tune up...spark plugs and wires.... no power gain....uhhhh, what does the "tune up" do?lol

As for your question about the AEM V2 bypass: You can modify the intake to use a bypass valve but that changes the tuning of the intake and hurts your performance gains. Not to mention you have to take a hack saw to the tubing to do it. The V2 is designed without one and you can not install one without serious modification to the intake tubing. If you are truly worried about hydrolock then find the origonal AEM CAI not the V2.

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.
