Rep Power: 0 DC Sports TCS - LIES
Is it just me or does anyone else think it's strange that on DC Sports' ad for the TCS system they say the Exhaust adds +17 HP on a stock RSX-S and then they say the CAI/header/Exhaust combo makes 18.3 HP more than a stock RSX-S? That would mean that adding their Header AND CAI only add 1.3 more HP to a car with the TCS exhaust. We all know that manufacturers lie, or "mislead," in their ads but you would at least think they would have it make a little more sense. Anyone of us could do a better job in the making up of that ad. Just my opinion.

Rep Power: 0 Most likely they are talking about the exhaust adding 17 horses at the flywheel and the I/H/E combo is the horsepower to the wheels. But I doubt they are telling you the ASE adjusted horsepower. They are talking about peak horsepower.

Rep Power: 0 not necessarily... K&N's sponsered RSX type S got 12 HP to the wheels with JUST the CAI that they developed for it.. i even saw the dyno sheet.. so lets say they add another mod like headers and exhaust... they only have 5 more horses to go after the intake... so it's entirely possible...

Rep Power: 0 Remember guys DC civic 2k1 with Intake header and exhaust only 5HP at the wheels, but the DC RSX ad says 18 to the wheels, Inejn CAI for RSX adds 14HP, that was in honda tuning or import tuner.
