Default Performance chip?

Hey guys, im new to this forum. I just bought a 06 RSX and was wondering if their are any performance chips i can buy for it? I had a APR chip on an old Jetta and it added 35 hp. Are their any kind of chips available for the RSX? Thanks yall

the only "chips" available are really not chips at all. www.hondata.com has the kpro which is a fully tuneable system. do not consider one until you have internal work or serious bolt on's or forced induction.

The Hondata ECU #4 reflash combined with a cold air intake are 2 great first mods for the RSX.

the 05-06 rsx's dont respond to the hondata reflashes like the old ones used to. there is still an improvement, but not as much as before.

i/h/e, internal work or forced induction would benefit the most.

You don't need to do anything to support, however you'll maximize the gains with more internal work and headers. Exhaust is a bit of a lost cause because the stock one is pretty good.

those wont do anything either. you want something that is tuned to your specific setup. start with i/h/e if you havent already. do you have a base or type s?

The site doesn't work on my comp, the web designers were probably incompetent and made it for IE only.

Anyhoo, I don't think that it does anything because i've never heard of it and there are tons of snake oil mods out there.
