Default i want to supercharge my acura rsx, but it isn't a type-s its a base automatic.?

you think its a good idea, or just leave it stock and add just your normal exhaust, headers, and intake?

dont waste your time moding an automatic car, there is no need for an exhast whistle to make your crap box sound better, headers will not help, you do not have controll over your RPM's intake is pointless, untill you get a new transmission, one with a freakin shifter.. get real, dont turn your car into a car that says, hey im a poser, look at my big rear fin spoiler on my front wheel drive car!! oh that must add 35 horsepower!!! WHAT A JOKE if your gonna burn rice, you gotta have a manual tranny, get real man

dude supercharging would be sick, but it gets real pricey real fast. plus it tends to take a lot of work so you'll want to make sure you have to the time to commit to work on your ride or make sure you have the money to pay for labor costs if you're having a shop do the work. i would recommend going for exhaust, headers, and intake cuz it's a little easier and tends to be more friendly to your pockets. if you decide to keep stock make sure you do your research and get the good stuff (HKS, tanabe, greddy) cuz you don't want to have your ride sound like a tin can. def go with a cat back system cuz it will really give your engine the ability to breathe easier and they let your engine really sing. whatever you choose make sure you do it right and don't cut any corners. good luck with your ride man!

sounds like a good idea to me. but most of the time only american cars are supercharged and imports are turbocharged. so i would turbocharge it.

If you do it, you'll be sorry because the automatic transmission will not be able to take the added torque.

NO. There is a huge difference between the stock RSX and the type S. The stock ones will not take the abuse of any performance parts. People who upgrade their RSX and beat on them always have problems.

I dont think you should do anything to an automatic.... Instead of spending the money trade in your car for a type-S... Learn to drive stick... then worry about adding more power... U can have a 400 HP monster but if its automatic its still gonna suck...
