Default Chip upgrade

I want to improve performance by adding or changing ECU. Any suggestions? How about electric intake management? Does the Apex system work to increase performance?

What year/trim level do you have?

Auto or manual?

Except for the fact that if you read the description and check out the sight Accords are not listed as a car this will work for. Read before you buy or reccomend to buy.

"chipping" ur car wont really do **** for your car, even if its a legit, name brand chip......now if u had like an F350 Turbo Diesel, then a chip would give u hella maaadd more power....but honda engines already come near their full potential (w/o doing a complete NA build/turbo/spray of course)

an apexi Vafc will help you out, but is really like a finishing touch more than anything.....its nto worth it unless uve gotten basically every bolt on.....however if uve boosted or running aftermarket fuel pumps/rails/pressure regulators, its a good thing to have.....

as far as stand alones, most people use AEM EMS.....i think Hondata makes a true standalone, but i really dont know much about ECUs themselves....those are really unnecesary unless ur boosting
