Agreed, the article paints a completely biased, generalized picture of the enthusiast scene, had me wondering if I were potentially a sadist or a psychopath for a split second tho hahaha.

Totally, its interesting that you mention EV bias that sounds totally plausible. The prof that conducted the study absolutely sounds like she had a bias. It just never occured to me that having a preference for a louder exhaust could ever label someone a sadist or psycho lol. Also seems like...

Is the study wrong? LOL https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/loud-car-study-psychology-1.7177688#:~:text=The%20pilot%20study%2C%20titled%20%22A,Current%20Issues%20in%20Personality%20Psychology.

The video in the original post by @ST675R explains the process in detail.

In total agreeance here totally fell in love with the FL5 at first sight, however my brain beat out my heart for the ITS. At their current respective prices Adm Included, the ITS just makes more sense, I couldnt bring myself to pay more (for the FL5) to receive functionally less (heated...

AFAIK functionally the closer a vehicles front struts are located to the cars firewall, the less likely it is to benefit from a front strut bar, due to the rigidity of the firewall. A rear strut, or front and rear sway bars may be a better performance per dollar investment.

Curious, do you happen to just have the tune flashed directly to your ecu without a hondata flashpro? Wouldnt you need the flashpro to go back to stock? Just trying to figure this tuning situation out, still need to send mine out to unlock and wondering if i need to grab the flashpro in the...

The worm gear clamps, on both the intake and charge pipes, are worth a check if you're already poking around, probably not the cause of the CELs, but I did notice after a few drives that mine (HVI and turbo inlet only) had become quite loose.

The only difference between the FL5 and DE5 versions is the extension of the tips DE5 FL5

Only of the FL5 version i believe and they are only able to have their valve either full open, in +R or variable I believe. Not affiliated with either of these skip to 19:30 - apparently he's since switched to the AWE, just due to looks preference

The sound of the Apexi is nice and clean and the fact that its valved its a total bonus. At first I was 100% sold on it, but after looking at multiple pics it just gives off a blue balls look lol. I wish they provided various tip options, I mean I could always cut'em in favour of something...

Yup, eventuri on DE5 above, I think Optronix is more concerned with the fitment of the GruppeM/Blitz since there hasnt been any DE5 confirmation on the fender side intake mounting point and front grill scoop.

Close ups of the additional PRL cold side inlet for reference. I still feel like the rigidity of the full aluminum HPS set would be more beneficial at higher hp applications, but that inlet size difference seems huge. Also PSA tighten your gear clamps properly, Gridzilla had a boose leak due to...

My FP should be in sometime this week, which DP did you go with? The RV6 has me clearing codes almost every other day. The supposed fix for my particular issue is to screw the defouler in further, which is why im looking into blankets, cause if I cant turn it while its installed, ive gotta take...

Appreciate it, is it this one? https://www.ptpturboblankets.com/products/honda-civic-fk2-fk8-type-r-turbo-blanket-hybrid?_pos=1&_sid=865024072&_ss=r I'll def look into it, not in any immediate rush, did you happen to order via PTP? I just found it curious that PRL has a brand specific PTP...

Watched the recent YT upload, numbers are incredibly impressive! If i may ask which downpipe blanket did you go with, PRL lists a 3.5" and a 5". Im guessing the 5" is for catted downpipes? Great work on the install vids keep'em coming!!

Yeah totally rolled the dice with the RV6, ordered it and got it within the week, was told a month+ wait on TSP dps. It seemed like a 50/50 split with people saying it would, or wouldnt throw a CEL, but knowing I would tune eventually, it wasn't a concern. I'm still hoping to try the...

With the TSP down pipe is your secondary O2 sensor threaded directly into the dp or do they still require you to use some sort of defouler? I get this regularly with my RV6 dp and have to constantly clear it, they suggest threading the defouler 1 - 2 turns deeper into the bung, since P0139...

Much appreciated! Its unfortunate that it looks like the ITS team didnt incorporate the same scoop style ducting into the grill area.

Curious, to those that have had their front bumpers off does the ITS have a similar intake duct behind the front grill as the FL5? I love the look of the spoon Carbon Kevlar air duct, and if the duct is already there, I figure I'd only need to fashion some sort of cover. Fk8 version as an...
