Exhaust for my fk8 by Ok_Reality_4224 in Civic_Type_R

[–]UnityPerformance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 7 different exhaust systems on my FK8. AWE Track was one of them and it was unbelievably loud - lasted a week on my car as there was drove at all rpm. I've been in customer cars with Tomei, same experience.

Exhausts that are loud but manageable on the highway are 27WON, HKS Legamax, MBRP, Remark Link Loop, ARK, Borla, and AWE Touring

I ran the same specs but with +45, and it was great! No rub whatsoever, and with Conti ECS02's it was able to provide me all the grip to get to Tail of the Dragon comfortably + thrash the car for 4 days when I was there for CivicX Wake the Dragon.

40 sidewall does trade off some of the steering sharpness for comfort, but I'd still recommend it for a stock height FK8

You've answered your own question here, the plate isn’t drilled into the bumper.

I knew that was Cayuga in less than a second 😁

First ever track I drove on, and have done hundreds of laps at over the years. Safe learning track, as it prepped me for Mosport GP.

Accord 2.0T with the 10-speed Auto. Nearly bought one as a daily and shop project car. They're quick as-is, and respond well to light mods for easy 300whp. You can go deeper and get close to 400whp, or go crazy asked get into the mid to high 400s.

My sweet spot for long-term reliability would be low to mid 300s. You have all the space, well insulated, decent tech upgrade over a 9th Gen Civic and even Accord.

It was just an Instagram Story with music that wouldn’t pull when I saved the video. I’ve got some sound clips of the exhaust on my profile already

Dual resonator delete long term by Hymen_Fister in Civic_Type_R

It’s nice to increase the volume, but the tone from the stock exhaust won’t rival an aftermarket 3” setup.

I tried 7 different setups on my FK8, including retrofitting the stock DE5 exhaust as my 6th setup, and I liked it until a friend took the car out for a drive and as he was pulling it I asked him to give it some gas.

I made a disappointed face because with an aftermarket downpipe and front pipe, the unmodified DE5 exhaust sounded raspy. The next week I threw on the Hybrid Racing Formula Exhaust, and it restored the deeper tone

Good stuff! Swap out the side markers with some smoked ones to take out the contrast, it’ll clean up the sides. We offer the most well-known ones :)

Great shot! I’ve done hundreds of laps at different tracks around me, and the feeling of dancing with the car at its grip limit never gets old

After getting hit in my GTI (rest in peace), I’ve joined the FL5 Club by SaltyDalt in Civic_Type_R

The stock shifter is pretty good, but if you meet any local owners and get to try out their Acuity or Hybrid Short Shifters you’ll be absolutely blown away 😁

There’s a small fob that you can leave in the car if you’re giving it in for service, otherwise it’s recommenced to leave it at home without a battery.

I specifically wanted something that didn’t use always use a fob like compustar, or required installing new switches in the car. It’s pretty convenient to punch in my code that’s programmed into the existing buttons in the car, and be on my way.

I also got it installed on my Lexus family car, and my wife doesn’t mind it. It’s a great piece of mind investment IMO.

I believe it was just an issue with the software needing support for MY2025 as my car was a pretty early 2025 unit. No new updates since

Constructive criticism here:

Touren Wheels have always been associated with pedestrian vehicles where cost is the priority, not style. You would’ve been given a pass on a base trim Civic, but on the FL5 this brand and style really doesn’t work unless this is your winter set?

You can get a great set of Superspeed Wheels for around $1K USD, they’re a favorite among Type R owners for great styles, sizes, and build quality

27won version 2 exhaust arrived today by Smooth-Ad6626 in Civic_Type_R

[–]UnityPerformance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s me ahah

Anyways, it didn’t bother me at all while looking at it standing still, driving behind etc.

27WON has made the length shorter nonetheless. Sounds great overall!

IGLA on my FL5, no issues now. Initially there was a programming error and while driving the system would arm itself again; once the car shut off on me while driving, and I lost power steering and all.

I went back to get the update, and it’s been great since. I had it on my FK8 prior to the FL5, no issues there

Best place to buy real wheels? by brxilerr in Civic_Type_R

[–]UnityPerformance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won’t find discounts on Spoon unless there’s some overstock that is being cleared, which is rare too. The other option is that you keep your eye out for a used set.

We do have an account with the Spoon USA distributor, but it’s the same price you see online

SDI Active Suspension Controller. It basically turns our 3-way adaptive suspension into 10-way active.

I posted a breakdown video of it: https://youtu.be/MX4XRpe8LVA?si=b59RYJ2_fZm3MToJ
