Single out exhaust mod
#41
A resonator delete will cause you to hate your exhaust stock or not. The resonator is there to help cancel out annoying sounds and frequencies from being carried through the exhaust and the cars cabin (hence why most resonators are placed under the cabin on factory exhaust). The resonator on the obx unit was just as long as the factory unit's and my even be a little larger in diameter. It sits exactly where the stock one sat and seems to be doing its job really well because the annoying rasp is gone. Dont remove just replace.

That's the intake resonator removed not the exhaust lol. I did that mod for like a week before my AEM came in. It did sound cool for a day or two cause the intake is hella loud when you remove it.. But the intake resonator is also in place for the same reason the exhaust has one.. It droned obnoxiously until I swapped it out with the AEM.

Oh, wow I've just had the best idea.
I'll run my car with NO intake and Open headers. best possible sound, no restriction. And it'll sound amazing. Damn i'm a genius.
lmfao
I don't even know how the resonator box broke inside the bumper by itself in the first place... design fail?..

Duuuude.. I can't read Japanese! Lol the modulo bumper would be awesome but I'm trying to just spend on performance mostly. The plug if I can find it is just to complete the look for the cheap. I found the plug for my bumper through that website I asked about in the chat thread so just waiting for a reply to my inquiry right now. I will pay with PayPal if it ends up going through for my insurance and peace of mind. I'll keep posted

Spoiler alert, the answer is no.

I'll probably get one after the warranty expires (not sure if it causes warranty issues), just because it's fairly inexpensive under $300 and I do like the sound.

I agree. But I don't think the only problem is whether you have the money, it's if its worth the money. The answer is different for everyone.

Same for cars. Is an intake on the acura good? It's up to the person evaluating it. There are plenty cars that spend their entire operating time totally stock with no issues.
Modifying cars is not for the feint of heart, or people looking for value. It's for the love of the game.
You either have it, or you don't. There is no grey area.
I was about to sell my turbo kit, until the totally insulting flaccid offer I was given. I'm not about getting rich, but someone who was willing to give less than 50% value of parts without even 500 miles on them? F that. The car can sit in the garage until I decide to sell it or trade it in.

The value of anything in this world is to the person wanting/needing something. Everything in life is relative.

Good luck selling or trading your car when that time comes...

edit: after reading Jaheri, I'm only in agreement with "insulting" based on the fact that optimus said the offer was less than half the value.

Sparse is by design. You want a video or something? To see the car idle?
I do not want someone breaking into my home and taking the car.
I have no reason to lie.
Official government documentation (emissions) lists clearly since December of 2013 to today, I have put 1461 (or so) miles on the car. All those miles were to and from the airport - pre subaru. Last year, it was driven to the shop, parts installed, and back to my home.
Then tuning with vittuned.
I don't have time or the imagination required to lie.
I'm a man - I say what I mean, and mean what I say.
I just like using the word flaccid. It's funny. so, try not to be offended.
I figured since you let the conversation go dead you were un-interested. Wouldn't you agree?

I didn't let the convo go dead I went to sleep (literally) after you said you would "talk to the wife". Which I totally respect. Where the convo went dead is when I didn't hear a word from you in regards to my offer and talk on the forums about how you have decided to keep and buy wheels, dead. Regardless if I'm basing your word as truth or not the offer of 4k for parts of specific interest was to me very reasonable. As the offer of 4k stood that was for any parts essential to the turbo kit, not clutch, not lsd, not sway bar, not coilovers or any other dollar that you spent on that car i.e having parts installed/uninstalled etc. I understand you spent a lot on your car. But if you look at what I'm getting from you material wise it amounts to a lil over 7 grand new if that.. And I know if I take my time and source parts wisely I can get everything for less than that being used or new. So I apologize fully if you thought my offer was "insulting". But understand you aren't selling your car completed you are selling "a bunch of used/new parts". I'm still going to have to get down and dirty with my whip installing a box of misc parts that have been once installed. Also invest in other supporting mods such as clutch etc to run that setup with confidence. You spent a lot of money on your car which is fully granted around here but keep into perspective what you are really offering for the money exchanged.

I know what you're saying.
I've done the exact thing before with my old 98 accord.
I'll let the thread get back on track, apologies for OT. Maybe next week I'll email you. The wife conversation is a whole thing...Can you imagine how she reacted after not having the car for four months - all the money, heart ache and everything. and I'm like.... I want to get an STi.... just imagine. trying to get psyched up for the acura.... I just feel like it's a girl that used to be fun, but after you break it off one time, it's just..... "done".

Found this:
- Rear - Outer trim - For Honda - Classified by automaker - Exterior and aero - Part - Automobiles, motorbikes - bidJDM
Use the cost calculator on the right to see how much it'll cost from Japan to your door. I chose "Portable Game Console" as the preset as I feel like that's the preset that is closest in size/weight to the cover. Ended up saying 5400 JPY, which is ~$45 USD.
Note: I don't know if this fits the base or Type S rear bumper cover. PN 71504-TLO-ZZ00

I copy and pasted the PN from the auction itself, so it might not be 100% accurate. I'm quite sure "TLO" should actually be "TL0" to say the least. I couldn't find the part even correcting it though.

Lol had some oxidation around the license plate area that I wanted to wax off.. That turtle wax "black box" shocked me.. Didn't think a 20 dollar "turtle" wax kit would come out so nicely... Hid a lot of my fine scratches better than anything else I've tried
#75
Let's see how this works out for me.. I blame XTC if it doesn't work lol.. Plan on wrapping in dinoc for the easy factor.. And I think it will look low key with the black... I have a can of CBP if I don't dig the dinoc look... Let's see

No problem man. Glad I could help! I'm pretty obsessed with that site you ordered it from cuz of all the JDM goodness, and I recall seeing that at the time.
I love subtle "mods" like these. This really completes your single out!
