The infinity looks dope, don’t blame U for loving it. I mean, look at that thing. You know?

I just want a better filtering filter. That’s all. The cheapest dry filter will absolutely filter better than the best oiled filter it seems. Removing my prl intake to clean the fine dust from the area post “filter” sucks

this has been an issue with every single oiled filter I’ve ever ran over the years. Frankly kinda tired of having to wipe the shit down every few months

I get why it’s an oiled filter. For the size that was available U can’t go dry, dry flows like shit hence why it has to be over sized some. For the sake of flow. And that’s not an option on the fl5 and de5 unless you totally think outside of the box.

but damn. That’s it. I’m ready to throw this prl away bro. I don’t want to wipe the shit down anymore. This is so fucking stupid.
You’re right, I think dry will beat oiled every time (never thought I’d say that, but in this context it makes sense). However, I think the difference in filtration is small enough that I’m willing to chance it, particularly given my positive experiences with oiled filters in a bunch of other engines.

A1 actually means replace oil only and rotate tires according to the manual (Page 628). The table below states I would need a B1 to get the oil and oil filter replaced.

Wow, very interesting. I've never changed oil and not the filter, haha. 🤷‍♂️

Probably makes that introductory 2 year free service program more business palatable, lmao.

Def feel the extra power, but theres an annoying hesitation between 3-4k RPM. I sent Cobb the data log file to see if they can decode the issue. If it persists I’ll go back to stage 1 🤷‍♂️
Hopefully it’s solved. I’m sure there’s a few tuners with Cobb tunes you could choose from?

Save the headaches and just get custom tuned.

Is the new cooling plate a lot thicker? The fact that Honda went to all that trouble to add so many ribs to the stock plate means they were really focused on its rigidity…

I guess: worst case the new plate sounds a little bit like a thunderstorm and dents easier.

yea its 4x thicker than OEM, the main benefit is pushing trapped hot air out faster.
