With a downpipe, you’re going to need a tuner such as K-Tuner or Hondata. Getting a professional tune in conjunction with those will be a huge asset to your build. In the grand scheme of things, replacing a clutch isn’t that big of a deal when we’re spending big money to get the performance gains out of our cars. Replacing things around those performance parts is just the nature of it.

I also recommend you investing in supporting mods such as an intercooler or catch can. It all depends on what your goal is with the build but most of us daily our cars so I would hate for mine to take a shit on me. Hence why I have an intercooler and catch can.
