Installed the Acuity reverse flow hoses. No data to compare temps yet since last good log data I have was from the track when it was 95 degrees out so won't be until next summer at the track that I will have comparable data. Since I had the parts out was an easy decision to go ahead and change the rest the of the fluids.
Video below may help anyone wanting to do this mod or unsure of the transmission fluid change process.

Would this potentially interfere with certain aftermarket intakes? Acuity site doesn’t mention.
This mod makes a lot of sense to me, and I’m considering getting it. However, I haven’t selected an intake and don’t want to run into problems.

I figure the only reason Honda designed it the way they did was for packaging reasons? Maybe to let car warm up faster?

No issues at all with aftermarket intakes. Plenty of clearance with the PRL HVI I have and it is one of the biggest boxes. i have HPS charge pipes too and all fit well.

I'll ask...what the heck do they do?

Coolant normally flows top down in the radiator. If you have a large aftermarket intercooler blocking your radiator, then your coolant won't reach the proper cooled temp because of that blockage. By reversing the coolant hoses so the the coolant flows bottom up, the coolant is mildly cooled at the bottom behind the large intercooler, but cooled more than usual at the top of the radiator because it already was slightly cooled at the bottom.

I think this is only something that track cars really need.
