Several people in the NYC area have expressed interest in having an ITS meet up/ cruise upstate of NYC, so I though I'd start a thread to organize this. I'm proposing a meet up in Harriman State Park in the Tiorati/Appalachian Trail Parking lot. I saw a GR Corolla meet up there a few months...
Thanks, also how thick is the bottom pad. I'm a lil over 6'2 and don't want a pad that's sitting me up too high in the car. I have my seat almost all the way down as is.
Drove from Brooklyn up the Harlem River Drive and then up Palisades Parkway to Harriman State Park where I drove a bunch of the windy back roads in the park all afternoon. Roads were totally empty except for a few guys on sports bikes. Was my first drive with the RV6 Ceramic Front Pipe and PRL...
Ok, I was thinking more in terms of increasing throttle and turbo response more so than HP gains. But maybe without a tune they don't really do that much for either responsiveness or gains. I know that HPS claims a 13 WHP gain with just their charge pipe, so I was thinking maybe it would be...
Do you think there is much of a benefit to doing a charge pipe with the stock intercooler? I want to keep the intercooler stock for a few reasons but was thinking of doing a charge pipe. Also what are your thoughts on turbo inlet pipes? Especially if I keep the intake stock.
I'll probably...
Why are you not running an intake then if you're going for high HP? I'm not going for high HP with my car just wanna make it more responsive and give it a little more power. I had a DP on my 9th gen Civic SI and I thought it made the engine feel so much more lively compared to stock so I am...
Yeah I basically just got the front pipe because I figured it would round out the downpipe and heat blanket combos and since I was doing the RMM I'd need to probably remove the front pipe anyway.
I'm considering doing a charge pipe and turbo inlet eventually. Currently have a K&N drop in...
Do you have a link to it? I have a cheap $70 one that I got on ebay awhile back because I do 1200 mile drives halfway across the continent a few times a year. It has those shiatsu nodes that go up and down your back and is pretty powerful. The ebay one is actually pretty decent when it's...
Had a PRL Rear Motor Mount and an RV6 ceramic coated front pipe put on my car today. Only had a chance to drive it a few minutes home from the shop so can't really comment on the effects of either mod. I don't expect a lot of change from just the front pipe. I'm waiting for my TSP Down Pipe...
When the exhaust valve on the stock muffler setup is open it allows exhaust to bypass the lateral mufflers and pass through the center exhaust tip which looks to have a small resonator on it. I was wondering if anyone has removed, or if it would be feasible to remove, the small resonator...
HPS claims that their charge pipe gains 13HP but is that with the stock intercooler or with the PRL intercooler?
I'm not interested in a PRL intercooler (have been hearing about heat issues caused by it blocking airflow to the radiator) but wondered if there is any reason to install an HPS...
What is the cerakote finish? Is this basically a fancy brand of ceramic coating? If you have a ceramic coating how relevant is the lava blanket? Ie, doesn't the ceramic coating keep the pipe cooler on the outside and hotter on the inside? Would the blankets for the turbo and DP be more of a...
Which DP were you using that was giving you codes? I thought that the TSP DP doesn't throw codes even without a tune?
I'm thinking of getting a TSP DP and not getting a tune at least until I'm out of warranty in a few years and I definitely don't want to be getting CELs. I had an RV6 catted...
I've taken my ITS on multiple long road trips since getting it back in February, including driving halfway across the country three times (Midwest to NYC). I already have close to 6,000 miles on it.
Getting Xpel double ceramic coated tint on all the windows is a must for comfort. I would...
It's not letting me post a photo, but last week I had the Canadian red stitching heated wheel put on my car. I bought the wheel from a member here. It's identical to the dealership installed wheel except that it has red accent stitching instead of black stitching.
When I bought my car I...
Driving on I70 today when a rock or something smacked the windshield and left a big crack in it that then started to run. I wasn't even that close behind the truck in front of me so I don't know how this happened. Im going to have to replace the windshield. Has anyone done this yet? What are...
