nice car keep it stock for now and see what the market brings in a year or 2. going for performance would be nice for that car since its got a lot of potential for mad speed. waiting would be best to compare what other companys has to offer when they start dynoing the accords. just finish your payments and worry about those mods later in the mean time...u could decide what rims u want....mmm advance, spoon, or volk would be nice on that 3.0 ivtec 240? 6speed demon oh what color by the way?

yeah but anything you do to the engine will void warranty, honda are asses about this. sometimes they even relate unrelated things. like if you get an aftermarket intake, and your radiator goes out...they will blame the intake. stupid ***** i hate em.

Not necessarily. It's the burden of proof on Honda to actually prove that the said part would have caused a particular failure. You would win if you were willing to fight it. It's not an implicit breach of warranty to put on aftermarket parts that are designed to "replace an OEM part". That would include exhuasts, intakes, ECU's...etc.

To emphasize this, I've seen dealer installed intakes, headers and exhausts on new cars. This fact lends more fuel to the fire that if you were willing to fight, Honda, per their explicit warranty terms and how THEIR "warranty and warranty-voidance" is describe in legalese, it's on THEM to prove that the said part caused _x_ part to fail.

Of course, if it's something like a hydro-locked engine from running CAI in a flood-prone area, that's a different story.

So bottom line do what you want within reason. Like what a "reasonable person" would do. If you were really cautious buy only-CARB approved parts (since CARB approval for CA is almost a benchmark of legitimacy; that 'this part won't hurt my car-ness'). Just be willing to fight if something goes wrong.

they are most likely talking about the air intake resonator. im not sure about the 7th gen accord, but for the 5/6th gen there is a plastic box under your stock filter that "resonates" the sound to make it lower. some believe this is a restriction, and by removing it you will gain hp. dont confuse this with the resonator on your exhaust pipe. btw, the snorkel thing you're talking about is most likeliy the top portion of the resonator which is easily visible through the engine bay.
