I still don't think it's unfair to expect more from it and yes, because it's an Acura. Hell, even a Honda -- I expected a little better from a Honda.
But none of these were a secret before I got the car. I read all the complaints and none of it proved to be a dealbreaker. At the end of the...
I disagree about the getting used to it part. We should still have an expectation of better build quality from a car that's $56k and marketed under a "luxury" brand.
It doesn't need to be Lexus-quality but I think it should still be better than a Mazda.
Agreed. The rattles and "quality" issues are annoying for a car at this price point. There's the argument to be made that every car has their fair share of rattles but the less expensive cars I've owned in the past didn't nearly have the same issues as the integra especially at having less than...
I'll tell you something though, putting an aftermarket exhaust will exacerbate the pops and bangs in Sport+
I keep mine on Sport most of the time around town because it pops and bangs at almost every liftoff now and it definitely gets a lot of attention. It's nice to have that option of kicking...
I kinda see where you’re coming from. My ITS has its share of little issues that seem to be prevalent after spending a few minutes searching on here. Maybe it’s the civic part of the car, maybe not - who knows.
It’s nowhere close to yours though. I just have annoying buzzes, rattles here and...
this has been well derailed already!
Speaking of, how do you like the quickjack? I'm considering one but it sounds like a PITA to set up for simple things like oil changes. I also don't have a very big garage so I'm unsure as to storage.
For the ones that have had this issue, any mods?
curious to see how the dealership dealt with that (if they tried to blame it on the modifications instead of actually investigating)
the tips should be an easy enough fix though if you're willing to hack it off the stock and have a shop weld it onto one of the other aftermarket systems like MBRP or Milltek.
I still don't have a clue why Borla decided to go with the different sized tips. I voiced my opinion when they were...
I get it, you have to sell the product. And 100% the touring probaby doesn't need it like you said above.
But I think a lot of people here (including me) want to have their cake and eat it too -- we want the option of it being loud like your track system, but sometimes quiet like your touring...
Same here and i agree about it being a rebranded covercraft. I've had Covercraft branded ones on my other cars and it's the same.
Only went with the Acura one this time because it was oddly cheaper. Go figure.
would it be better with a tune? probably, but I think you'd need a handful of other bolt-ons to really make it shine.
I'm like you, and hesitant to get a tune. I'm waiting it out til my warranty is up or considering running a cloned ECU. The exhaust is worth it for the sound though (if that's...
