The RBC is the euro accord manifold. It's the best factory manifold. The RSX/Civic guys swap to them. They need an adapter plate for their throttle bodies. You may as well, but they're pretty cheap, IIRC.

Thanks for making that post for me vinnie

I'm sure the RBC manifold is great for the RSX/Civic guys, but for my Accord motor, the TSX IM is what I need. From what I've read, the RBC is great for mid range and top end, while the TSX boosts low end power, which is what I'm looking for.

Plus, a TSX IM swap wouldn't be as involved as the RBC...less bolts and fabrication to worry about (I think the angle of the intake would be different?)

Do you really need that much low end power? K24's come torquey as is. Almost everyone on K20a.org swaps out their stock manifolds for RBC's.

They are the best you can get. Hell I went from being dead even with a stock S2k to putting 2 cars on a modified one just from a simple intake manifold swap.

If you are spending the money they RBC is the best bang for buck. TRUST ME on that one please. I have never really heard of people using the TSX Intake manifold on Accord motors.

The angle of the intake is different but EVERYTHING involved in swapping them over is totally worth it.

Several members of gen7accord.net have done this swap and haven't been disappointed. That's how I became interested in doing this mod, after reading the DIY guide and several people's reviews on it.

According to this article, Hondata dynoed it and it lost power everywhere under 6000 rpm on a K24.

I appreciate your input though, right now I'm researching if anyone with a 7th gen Accord chose the RBC over the TSX manifold
