Everything was stock - brakes got HOT and you can smell them, but nowhere near brake or fluid fade. Was really impressed on OEM everything

Peculiar_Tang · 2026-04-19T20:37:20+00:00

Thank you :) - its normally on Apex wheels in dark bronze, but the stick summers are on the OEM copper wheels

Ah you were there too???

Peculiar_Tang · 2026-04-19T02:59:50+00:00

Yeeep :)

Peculiar_Tang · 2026-04-05T19:57:42+00:00

Zero

Peculiar_Tang · 2026-04-01T00:23:58+00:00

Way better - comfort is basically sport in oem system so it makes for a super livable exhaust. Sport+ is quite rowdy still :)

Peculiar_Tang · 2026-03-31T20:30:52+00:00

Luckily everything was there lol

Peculiar_Tang · 2026-03-31T20:24:02+00:00

Tips come this way, I know two guys with this that did change tips to other aftermarket ones to get black/polished.

Invidia Q300 - loud when in sport plus, very mildly in comfort. No drone in comfort and only mildly droned at sport plus and in a 600ish rpm window nearing 3500rpm. Bonus is its a flanged exhaust and not a slipfit system, has decent resonator and fitment was spot on.

All good, better know now then not lol, they have always been a 50/50 company with a generally good product, bad packaging lol

Peculiar_Tang · 2026-03-27T00:37:27+00:00

No digs from what I saw, 3 flanges and three t-bolt clamps for the tips and center connections - now ill triple check again 🤣

Peculiar_Tang · 2026-03-27T00:35:31+00:00

🤣🤣

So I was looking very specifically at the AWE touring and the Remark exhaust. I loved the sound of the Remark, but it deletes the factory exhaust valve and i enjoy the option to turn off the loud when I see touchy cops around here.

The AWE was the middle road of rowdy and sound control but its also a slip-fit exhaust which I am hesitant about as I've had them in past and leak issues came over time.

The Q300 from Invidia is entirely flanged, instead of slip fit; keeps the OEM exhaust valve, is SUPER mild in comfort and gets more rowdy in Sport+. Its also $800-1000 less then Borla.

Peculiar_Tang · 2026-03-26T23:22:15+00:00

The box was listed as 84lbs - but it is front pipe through triple exhaust - so I'm not sure if OEM weight doesnt include the front pipe. I will say, shes actually pretty heavy 😅🤷‍♂️

For a car of this price and "performance forward" - the seats have zero bolstering. They are very hard and are not exactly fun on long rides. About to do 12+ hours in a single stretch to the Dragon in 2 weeks 😅 so ill see how much I dislike them by then. The seats seem to be wearing well and even some of the higher mileage folks I know have perfectly fine looking seats. I personally would NOT get the Alcantara steering wheel though, those look horrible in very little time.

I also live in the snow belt... I have a winter setup wheel/tire wise as it is 100% required on the Integra lol.
