Great response. We're gonna get along great. No, I'm not being sarcastic- I love people who can fully articulate their points, and who actually make sense! I may disagree with you from time to time but just know we can still be friends (some people have a hard time with that part). For example...

Name them. Welcome to the forum! :wave:?

Let's not forget the car gets by on its own merits: https://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/a46362122/acura-integra-type-s-performance-car-of-the-year-winner-2024/

I'm not saying there's definitely causality there; i.e., IF you put in sub-par gas you WILL have issues with pops and bangs. I just think there MIGHT be.

^Fuel quality is probably a huge factor in the pops and bangs equation... shit, I'd start there. I know I read somewhere that some folks are saying they're skipping using 93 octane because it's "recommended" not "required"... I wonder if these are the same folks complaining about the pops and...

Exactly. It sounds "cleaner" than most other aftermarket systems, which is precisely why I like it. I like the way the car sounds stock, I just want more of it. The A'PEXi changes it subtly in all the right ways, and I know how hard it is to tell through a video but of all the videos I've...

Important to note I don't notice this noise on a daily basis. If anything, did you wash your car recently? I notice it then. Otherwise, yes there's probably a decent chance that some noises you're experiencing now may change/go away over time. Or you may have to consider the possibility you're...

Here's a much better look at the Apexi exhaust. This vid I think moved it to the top of the list for me, but my mind changes on a nearly daily basis- large reason for why I haven't ordered an exhaust yet. Only thing to note though while watching this, is this car has a catted downpipe, and open...

The pops and bangs are a result of an overrun of fuel; it's just a synthetic feature controlled by software. As such, it's prone to inconsistency that could be caused by a variety of variables. Examples include coolant temperature, presence of any engine faults/codes, gasoline quality, relative...

From what I can tell from a 15 second video clip... Honestly sounds like the tires rubbing the concrete of your garage floor. If it happens everywhere then it's most likely brakes. Just normal noise caused from friction of components that are required for the vehicle to stop. It's not specific...

I've seen it pop up from time to time. Here's a thread on the Civic forums. https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/apexi-n1-rattle.53614/

Tiger Eye is a polarizing color choice. That should be pretty obvious to anyone who would be interested in it. In other words, if you have a color like Tiger Eye, you have to accept that there will be people who don't like it. Just like there will be people who absolutely love it. If you're one...

Exactly. This is in no uncertain terms a very fun car, in all the nuanced ways an enthusiast would care. It's a modern "driver's car", in much the same vein of some of what the old school M cars used to represent. Since BMW can't make a car weigh less than 2 tons (being facetious but... not far...

Ok that's interesting. I was thinking camber would change from the drop but I guess not significantly... also that's more camber than I expected stock. Interesting. Were pins pulled before the springs (i.e., in the "before" measurement)? But yeah, I think my expectations would be mostly visual...

Looks great. I'm not sure when I'll be able to justify $3k+ on coils so I'm considering springs now too. You get ~2 degrees of negative camber in the rear just from the drop, right? Does that bring it to ~2.5 total? And the front still needs pins pulled/camber bolts right? And what springs...

Yeah, I actively look for excuses to drive my car but without a daily commute I'm at about 7900 right now. Other than the "wastegate noise" issue I've been hearing since the first week I've had it, zero issues. Oh, I did have a plastic piece in the corner of the windshield cowl fly off, on...

Why not? Sure no one has said it outright so far, but it's an organic talking point based on the topic. It's even been inferred in several posts that there have been many expectations around what changes would be made; including none, which is the reality. Many people on this forum and elsewhere...

I'm not really a "tune guy" either and already conceded I won't be tuning my car thus won't be spending much time researching, so perhaps someone else who actually knows what they're talking about can weigh in, but since you asked- my impression based off years of forum lurking and random car...

Maybe not in this thread, but come on. You post here too much to make that argument sincerely.

I'm glad to see Cobb as an option. Personally, I'd go Cobb if I were to do the tuning thing. I already feel like the car has plenty of power, but a little extra wouldn't hurt- especially if I can stay emissions compliant. One less thing. Plus I had one in my STI and it did everything I needed...
