I am running the HEL oil cooler with CSF radiator on my Type R. Went to Daytona last month and it was a sunny / humid 91 degrees out and I experienced no overheating.
I did get close a couple of times the car hit 231 degrees coolant temps at the end of the 140+ mph long straight away.
But by...
3 years later⦠ohhh boy, going to be another $200-$300 š¤”
The Type S/Type R tax is INSANE! But people pay it.
And then HKS keep teasing about a possible intake⦠like come on, they are 3-4 years late to the game!
I wouldnāt be to worried about it. I remember my friends and I as young kids with FG2s and DC5s with after market intakes and 200,000+ miles and we never cleaned those filters lol imagine the amount of dirt that went into those engines š¤£š
My mistake, I didnāt read much of the thread. I will look for it now!
Radium would be one of the last brands Iād think would have an issue! Their catch cans are very popular and receive high praise.
I got my PRL one during Black Friday for $250.
And I havenāt heard of any aftermarket coolant tanks failing so Iād pick your favorite brand and youāll be fine.
Brand new in box PRL Charge Pipes ($320 shipped)
Brand new in Package Acuity Reverse Flow Radiator Hoses ($185 shipped)
USED Hondata Canflex ($490 shipped)

Just my opinion.
I think for those of us looking for more sound then OEM, the PRL intake with the AEM filter is the loudest and the most filtrated aftermarket option.
Check out this guys Instagram. He tests the efficiency and compares different brands of intakes. Pretty neat setup he has.
According to his tests, AEM Dry Flow has 99.5% filtration efficiency.
Lol it is just one tiny tick quieter for A LOT better filtration! Itās worth it! I PROMISE!
People can hate all they want about aftermarket intakes but my PRL intake paired with my HKS SSQV sounds AMAZING. I have received multiple compliments on the streets and at Sebring Raceway.
The AEM filter is like a nice sweatshirt compared to the PRL filter is like an old thin worn t-shirt. Definitely a big difference.
I will say the intake noises are slightly, maybe 10% quieter with the AEM on now. Still a million times better then the stock intake noises. lol
i ordered mine from here. He has 3 more in stock it looks like

I switched to the AEM dry flow filter about 7,000 miles ago since the PRL filter was letting a lot of dust inside.
Just so everyone knows, the PRL filter is just one single thin piece of cloth that is see through.
