  1. K&N Intake Installation Experience on FL5

    So any reason not to go with this K&N from a trusted name and cost standpoint vs others out there? I actually waited for this one to come out for sometime… So I think I may pull the trigger.
  2. Wagner Intercooler

    I am anxious to see how this installs. The packaging and parts look very well finished. The intercooler was the first mod I wanted to do after tracking last fall but I didn’t like the PRL. My only concern here is what the engine coolant temps may spike to since this appears to cover the entire...
  3. Break in period (make me feel good)

    Based off your initial post, I’ll make you feel good… I drive mine like I stole it half the time since it had 0 miles on it from the dealer. They say no break-in… I believe it anymore… and I used to work at Honda R&D Americas… So if the engineers there say it, it’s legit.
  4. PRL High Volume Intake Preorders Open 11am CST!

    Nope. And I just talked to Vlad about the catback exhaust too. Nothing there either. I guess I’m in no hurry…
  5. PRL High Volume Intake Preorders Open 11am CST!

    I work in HVAC Engineering and specifically airborne infectious disease mitigation where I deal with filtration media specs all day. BConlon is spot on with the concern and I agree. I want to make sure whatever is filtering engine air has the same arrestance value as OEM. I wish 27WON would...
  6. Borla ATAK Exhaust for FL5

    Understood. I’ve been out of the forum game hibernating (alongside the car) for several months. My ECU is jailbroke by Hondata, so may follow Jesters tune… I wasn’t aware the stock downpipe was that bad assuming the remaining exhaust back could be kept. The Blitz is a lot of money… wasn’t...
  7. Borla ATAK Exhaust for FL5

    Yes, correct, and maybe I missed it. And yes, I get it… they’re all the same and need tuned for max gains… I just don’t have the time to do it with my day job, haha!
  8. Gruppe M Intake finally installed on my FL5

    Roughly 11.3-hp and 14.5-ftlbs gain as indicated in their graphic. I wonder if that’s the only mod and if it’s the same tune (just bolt on gains…???) i’ve been waiting for some time to get an intake, charge pipes, intercooler, downpipe, and full exhaust… But I just can’t seem to put together...
  9. Gruppe M Intake finally installed on my FL5

    Can you share the link? I wanted a PRL but they always seem to be pushing people off and down the road…
  10. Borla ATAK Exhaust for FL5

    I’ve been waiting for this Borla for a while, and now that it’s been out a few weeks, I figured there would be some performance data on it; however, I’m striking out. Anyone have some numbers on it?
  11. Winter Tire setup

    Rehashing an older comment above, I’ve had the CTR on the ground with temps down to 20F. I’m going to move it into the house garage in a few days. I drive on these tires at 100+ mile an hour on the track… Is it OK to risk them for next season, or did I potentially ruin them without knowing?
  12. Winter Tire setup

    So... since putting this up on quickjacks all winter "may" ruin the suspension, its sounding like i should just get some winter tires and cheap wheels to go with them. Is there a consensus on the setup?
  13. Winter Tire setup

    Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to set it up on the QuickJacks I have in the barn... likely should do the trick, but tie up my quickjacks too... ;(
  14. Winter Tire setup

    My brother is a pretty high level tire engineer at Bridgestone (not at Michelin) and told me to check here regarding the following: is the glass transition temperature for the stock summer Michelin PS4’s too close to the winter ambient such that driving, even in cold weather (without snow) could...
  15. Hondata FL5 FlashPro released

    That’s great to know! I’ve been away from the forum for a few months (due to pesky and demanding work) so I probably missed this in the past 22 pages ;). Will this be something that’s released by Hondata in conjunction with your testing/tuning and their verification/validation?
  16. Hondata FL5 FlashPro released

    If I recall correctly, Hondata was to release several new maps/mods after SEMA (this past weekend). I’ve jailbroke my ECU but waiting on a more refined and not so low end spikey map.
  17. FL5 aftermarket exhaust videos with soundclips

    Yup and that’s why I’m waiting on this. I’m a huge fan of the Cobb tuning STi cars and this is as close as it gets right here.
  18. FL5 aftermarket exhaust videos with soundclips

    Borla update: release is to be early October per Chris at Borla.
  19. FL5 aftermarket exhaust videos with soundclips

    I’m fine with this and will make a decision on this or magnaflo once I hear it. Personally, I like the sound of the remark best, but I want a triple tip and it doesn’t sound like that one’s going to fall this way…
