Using this intercooler upgrade is a great way to improve your car's performance. First, make sure you have the intercooler install kit as it's required for installation. You'll also need to modify the bumper beam to ensure proper clearance, but don't worry about ECU calibration as it's not needed. When installing, use the factory mounting spots and connect all the factory air ducts and shrouds. This intercooler is designed to fit multiple models including 2021+ TLX 2.0T, 2021+ RDX 2.0T, 2019 - 2020 Acura RDX 2.0T, and 2018+ Accord 2.0T & 1.5T. Once installed, you'll notice mid - range and top - end power gains, a drop in post - charge air temperature, more consistent power delivery, and enhanced engine safety. For maintenance, it's a good idea to check the connections regularly to make sure everything is secure. Also, keep an eye on the temperature readings to ensure the intercooler is working effectively.
