Was in the same boat, and FINALLY got mine so I could put my new CEs on. I like the lugs, they seem good so far. (Need to get my sidewalls dialed, I know)

I've got UOAs for every oil change on my car and the PRL filter seemingly does just fine. My silicon and overall wear rate for my latest sample was nice and low so I don't see a reason to switch intakes or to a dry filter and potentially screw up the MAF signal. Certainly the stock filter is...

My car definitely got smoother over time regarding shift feel, so probably wait a little bit before you change things, but the Acuity stuff is pretty great. I got the stage 2 shift kit before the full shifter was available, and it's pretty great but I did feel like I needed a super heavy shift...

My first TSP downpipe was also faulty and kept throwing codes. I've been on my second one for about 3k miles now and it's good but I have to wonder if the pops and bangs has a hand in some of this. The RV6 is a decent downpipe but will throw a code regardless if you're not tuned AFAIK.

I used penetrating oil and heat, and the nuts still seized to the studs and snapped one off, and took the threads off the other. Pure luck IMO, as the car only had about 1500 miles on it or so. I ended up taking my exhaust housing off and had a machine shop drill out the trash studs for $350...

I just drove the SHIT out of my car on some back roads. Trust me, I may be on a thread about shifter upgrades and spend a lot of time thinking about mods but I'm also slapping the shifter off the Type S surround like you wouldn't believe a few times a week. Drive and mod your cars folks 😎

I did the Acuity stage 2 shift kit prior to the bushings, and the cable bushings had ZERO noticeable impact in comparison to the rest of the kit. It would be interesting to see if doing the bushings first provided some obvious improvement, but it was nothing for me. Overall, I love the stage 2...

The PRL intercooler does a better job as an intercooler than the OEM unit in terms of IATs and maintaining stock or modified power levels. The stock unit heat soaks faster and has worse heat-soaked steady state performance. This is aside from engine cooling performance, which is a separate issue...

Great, you just added another reason why I need a Hondata yesterday, thanks a lot man. The list wasn't long enough. 😆

I would recommend getting a spreader tool like @SKINNIE said, like I would REALLY recommend doing that because it was easily the worst part about the install. It's not difficult to get the strut moving in the knuckle, but to get it out completely was a nightmare for my car. It is somewhat...

There is a plastic piece under the stock intercooler that needs to be removed, if that is what you're talking about. Where it says remove 3rd clip that whole plastic piece has to come out since the IC is much bigger. (this is from my RSplitters instructions so it's unrelated). I would say...

For me the images aren't showing up, just the file names seemingly. Glad you got everything installed though! I went back and checked my clamps a few times before putting the bumper back on because I was really trying to avoid boost leaks 😅

This thread reminded me of a post I saw a while back from the "Honda Type R Product Reviews" FB page. It's a private group I think, so I can't really post a useful link to it, but they posted some interesting data from their test car with an RV660 running like 500whp+ with different...

I'm not making any assumptions about intercooler sizing. My entire argument is based on observations of my IATs and what PRL showed. PRL showed that with their IC, the heat soaked IC outlet temps were lower than the stock IC, while that testing day had warmer ambient temps. Not an automotive...

I would argue that aftermarket ICs could lead to higher coolant/oil temps because of the lower IATs that allow the car to maintain higher power levels for extended durations. I know the main concern is the IC reducing the cooling efficiency to the radiator, but I think the additional power could...

I did what they did and it worked great. Semi-carefully just pull on each part, slide your hand closer to the next part to release and repeat. I was able to get my hand behind the bumper to push as well after getting the sides to release. You should probably mask off the headlights or at least a...

You might wanna watch a few videos on bumper removal/IC install for this car just so you know what's up. The video from @koatic was helpful, he shows there's a clip in the engine bay you need to make sure you don't miss before actually trying to pull the bumper off. Very minor thing but there's...

There is a simple reason to get an aftermarket intercooler and it's for lower IATs. You can see your IAT temps with an OBD reader. I've been observing my IATs for months on the back roads between pulls and once things are heat soaked, and the PRL intercooler has lowered my max IAT2 delta from...

I personally would NOT take the mat out to clean them. They're incredibly easy to vacuum in the car, spray interior cleaner on them, wipe, and you're done. Way more so than even stock rubber mats that come in most cars including the DE5 ones. I have them in some RAV4s in my family fleet as well...

What size ECS02 are those? Assuming 275 or 285/35? Looks sick btw
