Where'd you get those reverse LED's from? ebay?

FlipRizzi

The sound actually has a little kick to it now with all the add ons. It sounds pretty much the same in person and video too. I didn't expect the whole combo would affect the exhaust sound. But yeah much aggressive now. Me likey. And I heard that a catback combined with the downpipe would set the sound off soon

FlipRizzi

i got these on right now. They arent too bright though. Stock lights IMO have better light output than these.

FlipRizzi

drivedata

Awesome mods, looks good, sounds good, keep up the good work.
I have the same set up (CTE+TB spacer) but sadly my downpipe will be returned to Mr Heeltoe due to fitment issues (flange a bit small for my 2010)

OBTW >>> TB spacer thermal gasket need to be on the the TB side (metal), its the part that gets hot.

@maiku
The same issue on the Downpipe as I got on my 09 Accord. I welded a bigger flange on my own.
Your right with the Gasket!

FlipRizzi

will do man!
thanks man. i really like the set up. still very stock sounding on normal driving. sorry to hear about the fitment issues though. hope yall figure it out. i too had the same problem but what we did is we bored it out on our own to fit and whalla! done deal =D and shoot my face!!! thanks for pointing the thermal gasket out. totally missed it. ill fix it later =/

yeah glad you got it worked out sigh. thanks hondo. sucks being a noob at all this stuff. heheh

HondoGermany

Haha. You´re not a Noob. You got it worked, with bigger holes. In my case I had to bore almost 20mm holes, way to big. Dont know what big screws I must take then.LOL

FlipRizzi

i just got done fixing the TB spacer. thanks again guys for pointing that out. anyways, got few mod parts on its way. stay tuned! hehe

Yeah working on returning mine, i believe the downpipe i received was Mr Heeltoe's prototype pipe, i was thinking of replacing the flange but decided to return it for a refund so i can get a new high flow cat for my CL9. I will do the down pipe for the CU2 later

No probs, thats why we are here, just looking out for our fellow TSX'er cant wait to see whats up next for you, you're about to set the world record for most mod's in 30 days..

FlipRizzi

thank you kind sir. oh wow. i need to slow down. i'm a unconscious! curse you mod bug!

swarlos

lol. Seriously what were you thinking. Now part out and spread the wealth of your mods with the rest of us

Dibs on the ice box!!!

FlipRizzi

hahah first of all i need to read what i write "I'm a unconscious" lol second, its just how i am at things. when i want to get things done, i get them done! lol oh well. after these other parts get here that should be a slowing point of modding my car. hopefully.................................

swarlos

lol. at the rate you're going. you're just going to run out of things to do soon. the aftermarket support for this car is not very strong yet. It looks like its starting to pick up now, just as the tsx is on its way out.

FlipRizzi

yeah man. not good heheh im definitely slowing down now. also since im new to the modding scene i really wasnt aware of the aftermarket support for our cars in the first place. but im looking forward to everything coming thats for sure.

FlipRizzi

here's the link if anyone else is interested http://www.ebay.com/itm/290527725979...84.m1497.l2649
can definitely see the difference (Ordinary LED right side; super bright HID LED left side)


Ordinary LED

Super bright HID LED

nice progress. simple but very nice.. iv been thinking about doing the same tint on my headlights. do you know the percent on that tint?

FlipRizzi

i am not a 100% sure but i think its 35% just like my window tints didnt want to go too dark and be "blacked out" lookin

Honda_boy83

Car is looking great! How was the Icebox install? Do you think it is wroth the money?

ed_423

hows the visibility with the new led?

FlipRizzi

thanks man. the install was alright. took bout 2 hours and have not had any issues that were mentioned around the forum so far. IMO its worth the money for sure. looks stockish - fits perfect in the engine bay, sounds stockish on normal cruising but starts roaring around 3k rpm. to each his own though. its not really a pocket friendly mod hehe

so much better than what i had before. i had the 18 SMD like moaarlows. definitely brighter. the pictures on the ebay page link i posted pretty much sums it up

skyline8610

Awesome joke so far again. Thnks. Going to my tint guy asap

Honda_boy83

I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick up the Icebox...Did you notice any extra power or anything like that with the Icebox? I also love your wheels! Those are the ones I'm looking at getting. Did you notice and increase in your ride height with the 19's?

skyline8610

Job*

FlipRizzi

thanks man!!! =D although i love to clear my headlights and take off the tint, i need to grow a pair first to pull the trigger. just really dont want to put them in the oven!!!

do it mate. i suggest buying from ebay its much cheaper. in regards to noticing power, i do feel a better pull. the car is revving a lot more freely too. it does say it gives 12 hp. but really cant prove that without any dynos. also, i did install the icebox with a tb spacer and downpipe. so it may be different. for the wheels, i love them. it complements my car's color. theyre simple and nice and not too flashy looking but its getting very common though =) anyways, ronjon has some new wheels coming out this april so you should check that out too. i really cant remember the ride height with stock wheels so i cant really say. hehe didnt pay much attention. but my car needs a drop so bad! saving up for the coils now =) good luck!!!

FlipRizzi

why helloooo there....


Don't think I'll be able to get it installed this week though =/ but will definitely post pics and vids soon along with the roof and trunk spoilers! =D

ed_423

love it!

PyroDave

hey flip, if i end up coming out to bonnaroo, and bringing my baby again, chances of you meeting me for a quick shoot? i wanna see your baby =P

opboarding

sexy exhaust! looking forward to pictures/videos installed

MrOtocinclus

Aargh! Why do I have to sell my car?!?!?

I'll have to live "modariously" through you guys. Or should it be mod vicariously? Either way!

FlipRizzi

thats like 4 hours from memphis hehehe if it were any closer i would be down that would be nice though. i havent met any tsx owners around here thats interested in modding and stuff.
thanks man. im pretty excited. i cant wait to hear how its sounds along with the downpipe

then dont!!! you have one of the cleanest tsx around mroto! sad to see you letting her go =( "modariously" i just loled

Honda_boy83

Nice! Can't wait to hear it!

tobwac
