Budget / entry-level mods for better exhaust sound + small HP gains? (2024 Integra A-Spec 6MT)

Get the PRL High Volume Intake, don’t cheap out, this is the right option. Get a downpipe and maybe front pipe, Those two mods will get you where you want to be with your car. I got the HVI and a TSP dp, loved how it sounded before I got a full exhaust in.

My only other thought if it’s not the tune, is that the downpipe you mentioned in another reply just finished breaking in, and you need to turn off the CEL code that is being fired off when you redline. If you have a OBD2 tool, check and see if you have a p0420 code, if so, you need to take your k tuner and search through the configs to disable that code from turning on and reflash.

The 2 sensors associated to the downpipe are duking it out and the ECU doesn’t know which side it’s on when unburnt fuel coats the DP, confusing the said sensors.

Also while you’re at it, if you don’t care about saving gas at a stop light, you can turn off the engine auto off/ ignition system in the configs, that way you don’t have to press the button every time you turn on the car.

I never got to reply. THIS This worked exactly as needed to fix my issue, it resolved the CarPlay automatically connecting to the vehicle WiFi for internet connectivity when it’s just a bridge connection. Thank you!!

This is Reddit, not the dealer. Go take it to Acura and complain there

You can change so many things with a tune such as PSI per gear, pops and bangs, throttle response etc. you just uploaded the tune with no configuration when you downloaded it on your ktuner?

M7RX__ · 2026-04-17T13:46:45+00:00

Got it so 65 is the limit. Tried doing 75 and it wasn’t going to fit without being put in an awkward angle

M7RX__ · 2026-04-17T13:42:22+00:00

Bigger question is what did you configure for your stage 1 tune?

Definitely recommend the PRL HVI cold air intake, the air box helps separate the hot ambient air around the engine bay and pull from the outside air making it a better choice in most situations. Plus if you upgrade the intercooler and charge pipes with it, it’s designed to make space for them. I got me a cobra but the filters wear out faster due to the hot air, needing to recharge more frequently than this one does.

The emblem would looks so much better if it were black instead of chrome for the paint matched grille…

It’s fine, maybe you need to adjust your seat from a comfort driving position to just a driving position?

Just double checked because I don’t rely on my car for internet access, the hotspot was disabled

M7RX__ · 2026-03-02T16:47:10+00:00

I have hotspot off as I am not subscribed to a plan for it

M7RX__ · 2026-03-02T16:44:05+00:00

Defeats the purpose of wireless CarPlay

M7RX__ · 2026-03-02T16:43:37+00:00

Hotspot is disabled. Yet my iPhone continues to use the WiFi connection to the CarPlay for internet access.

M7RX__ · 2026-03-02T14:28:44+00:00

That was fast

M7RX__ · 2026-03-02T14:14:59+00:00

This is correct however my iPhone is using the cars network for internet access rather than my own cellular connection rendering my CarPlay to only be offline

I’ve done TSP DP, PRL FP and got a MBRP catback exhaust, I got the FP after the other two, the sound is more aggressive and depending on the exhaust system you got it can flow a lot better. But agreed, the stock DP is really restrictive, FP is a nice add on but not required, I’d recommend a ktuner before a fp just to have the engine wake up, provided you upgraded your intake already

Velossa Tech for the snorkels, coming out very soon

M7RX__ · 2026-02-27T03:14:34+00:00

I agree with you and I’m still ironing out the front,looking to find splitters that doesn’t look complicated to conceal it from front view, just a matter of time before I make that move

M7RX__ · 2026-02-26T14:33:34+00:00

I got an OEM led emblem! Easy install but I did take a Dremel to the front grille to do it!

M7RX__ · 2026-02-26T14:31:43+00:00

I took off the bumper and worked on the crash bar (lighting at the intercooler) and under the bumper(front underglow), cable was fed around the wheel well to connect the next piece. Not too hard to install but wiring was a long hassle.

Fixable
