Similar tastes! I had a nasty C7.5 S6 that I converted to an RS6 Sedan including two big ass twin-turbos. I would probably still have it, but a dude flew in from Utah and offered a nice stack of cash…couldn’t turn it down.
Pulled the Type-S out of storage and swapped out my OEM Alcantara steering wheel for a custom Sweidit perforated Alcantara wheel. Aaron also incorporated a red leather swatch from my Recaros as the 12 o’clock hash mark. This is my fourth or fifth interior bit that Aaron Shin has done for me and...
I just bit the bullet and bought the complete kit from TwoStepPerformance last year. Maybe a 35 minute install.

A popular turbo choice is the 27Won Kuro / Kuro+.
I’m at that point where I either stay where I’m at (FBO) or move to the next level with turbo and fueling…haven’t decided.
Sent my spare OEM steering wheel to Swedit for some custom upholstery. Had Aaron incorporate a red leather sample from my seats as the 12 o’clock hash mark. Car is still in storage, so it’ll be a few weeks before I’ll install it.
No, it’s the CT5-V AWD non-Blackwing. It has a 3.0L V6 twin-turbo mated to a 10-spd automatic. It’s still gets down and the tech in it is exceptional. I used to have a couple of Blackwings but this one is my daily and the Type-S the car I’m modding the shit out of.
I had the seats fitted with heating elements on the seat and backs but they’re not connected at the moment.
The Recaro seats have no airbags in them.
Yeah, I loathed the OEM seats to point where I had some custom Recaros made. I do have my stockers leftover for sale if you want to try and modify them. They have maybe 3000 miles on them and the passenger side seat was probably sat in three or four times.
I agree with a lot of what is being said. The Integra Type-S lacks much in the amenity department for being listed as a $54K vehicle.
Ideally the Type-S should be in the $48K range and the Type-R should be somewhere around that $43K range. That would be in a perfect world, but as long as there...
Well, there is something with 2.0L motors and full 3" exhaust where drone (even if mild) is unavoidable. It may NOT drone if you're doing the cat-back only.
I have a catted TSP down-pipe, PRL front-pipe and the Apexi cat-back. There is some mild drone around that 3K rpm (80 mph) highway speed...
Correct.
- Remove the electric actuator from the OEM cat-back, then plug it back into the car
- Wait 5-10 seconds and the actuator will reset.
- Install onto the new Apexi system and you're good to go.
MUCH deeper exotic tone compared to stock (it's very nice). The pops and bangs have a deeper tone too...not snappy / crackling like the OEM cat-back.
Sport+ and full throttle...People will know you're coming from a mile away.
It has very mild drone around 3K rpm when in sport or sport+ but not...
Installed the PRL front-pipe and Apexi Evo N1 cat-back to complete the full 3" turbo-back exhaust system. The Type-S now has a very deep exhaust tone and the pops & bangs also have a deeper tone opposed to the OEM snap & crackle. Under load and with the flap open, the car will definitely turn...
Some report them cracking…mine has not. I only have 9800 miles on my Type-S. For me, I hate the opaqueness of the OEM tank. You can’t see how much coolant is in the reservoir. Most if not all aftermarket tanks have sight glass to see the coolant levels.
