My Type S ADS module finally showed up after being on backorder for over 4 months! I bet it's going to get even harder to get them as more people become aware you can swap it easily.

I will report back with how I feel about the new ADS on factory 19" wheels. I've put 8000 miles on the car with the stock ADS so I think I have a good baseline for comparison.

Im honestly in no rush to get one but with how bad the backorder is, would they stop making them and I'd be SOL if I wanted to get it sometime next year or so?

They usually keep cranking out parts for 10 years after the car is discontinued, at least the frequently used ones.

Part availability won’t be a long term issue to the point it’s unavailable but price increase may be. Honda appears to monitor items that are frequently purchased and bumps the prices up occasionally. The FK8 shift lever assembly and possibly the rear sway bar if I recall were both increasd in price when the FK7 owners stated snatching up FK8 parts. Just a possibility not a certainty.

Ordered mine ADS module today. Dealer told me 7-10 days. Maybe there are some out there in the system somewhere.

Just ordered mine from myacuraparts so hopefully it comes in asap!

On a recent Topher video I watched, he mentioned that the ITS damper module will change how the active exhaust valve functions. He said that when the engine sound setting is in "comfort", the valve stays closed, and when it is in "+R" the valve stays opened. This is different from the OEM valve where it is throttle depedent.

Can anyone with the module confirm if this is true? It would be nice to have the exhaust valve always be open or closed without having to mess with the fuse

 

[RP2000R]

I just went out and cold started my car with the Acura module and the valve stayed closed in all modes at idle.

Idk if it will really do anything but just curious. With all the technology is this car idk what it can do lol

Has anyone with an ITS ADS unit decided to revert back to the CTR unit? If so, please message me if you'd like to sell the ITS unit. Hell, I'd even be willing to "rent" one and either ship it back if I decide against it or pay in full if I decide to keep it.

Only way I’lll put the stock ADS module back in is if I downsize to 18" wheels again. I'm pretty confident that the Integra Type S ADS will be too soft with 18" wheels.
