So jelly

FlipRizzi

^ im jelly of your grille =D anyways, i wanted to get a video up here but its pouring outside =/ sucks not having a garage.

TSXy Luster

What's the difference in sound like between just the Icebox vs Icebox with exhaust?

FlipRizzi

i have a vid on this thread wih the icebox. however, i got it installed with a TB spacer and downpipe. you can check that out for the icebox and catback exhaust, i'll let you hear it and judge for yourself =D but then again, you have to put into consideration that I do have a downpipe. I think it made a difference. video soon

benben01

Can't wait to hear how that CT-E exhaust sounds Flip!

WOw, you aren't playing! Car looks sweet!

MoaarLow

Bro you took off wl the mods, And i think i will pull the trigger on the reverse. the $10 Bulbs did what they could. but those others look like Mini HID's....

Keep the mods comming the car looks sick

FlipRizzi

just tried to take a vid earlier but my camera died while recording it hahahah

hehe thanks ron! will post more recent pics soon. anyways, new wheel designs looking good sir!
i know bro heheh im trying to slow down now haha but sure man you should do it. it so much brighter IMO and i think the pic says a lot.

FlipRizzi

Sorry for the crappy video and audio quality. very windy i might add. the vid does not give the catback's sound justice. i'll try to get a better vid when i can. but for now, hope this works transition is somewhere around 2:27-2:32

Mem04TL

Sounds good bruh

PyroDave

pure sex flip... great job

moaar, if you get the new reverse's, i'll grab the old ones off ya. i dont use lights to reverse, so i'd just enjoy the look

tobwac

definitely one of the nicest sound so far

isshinryu30

Finally good sound clip

FlipRizzi

thanks man. i think i can keep up with your greddys now ehehe
thanks pyro
thanks man. i really like it! i wish the vid and audio quality are better though. i need to find a better spot to shoot the vid. i think i placed the camera too close. but oh well
not as good as i wanted it to be!! hehe but for sure i will try to make a better one

Mem04TL

lol we'll have to take it to the strip and see

ed_423

that sounds wayy to nice to be true, im afraid something might be wrong with one of your pipes. it's definitely not safe to be driving around with a defected exhaust. tell you what, i'll be a good sport and take it off of your hand, i can pay for your shipping if you want

FlipRizzi

hahaha you do that for me? how nice of you sir. but i think i can manage. I can live with it

FlipRizzi

its on!!!!!!

HondoGermany

Sounds good, but the windnoise, try a vid with better quality, please!

benben01

Love the new sound system Flip! Since yours is an auto, does does it drone much on the highway?

FlipRizzi

thanks mate.. and i know hehe i will work on it
!!!! ok im not sure bout this but drone is the sound of the exhaust extending inside the car right? if yes, then no on the highway with crusing speed around 45-70mph and around 1900 to 2700 rpm the exhaust sound definitely just comes from behind the car. it sounds deep and chill. not loud. the exhaust sound starts going vteccccc around 2800 rpm and above. when i step on the pedal hard, the car roars. you definitely gonna hear it. i love it. sleeper when cruising but demands attention when you vroom vroom

benben01

Thanks for the feedback Flip. No pun intended, but sounds like the CT-E exhaust is drone free. Big decision is to whether get a the full aero kit, BBK, or exhaust at the moment. Can't get all 3 at the same time as that would be bit unresponsible...

ed_423

irresponsible

this is what i'd do if i were you ben, just my

1. exhaust
2. aero kit
3. bbk (its not like we are makin 300 hp or racing at the track...price for these seems steep for daily drivers like us. it does look super nice though with the drilled/slotted rotors and big calipers). im planning to get some drilled or slotted rotors later on too, just not with the calipers lol

benben01

If anything i am leaning towards the bbk since heel toe has a sale at the moment. I know bbk is over kill at the moment but damn they are so blingy

ed_423

or be irresponsible and get all 3, you only live once right?

benben01

What kind of role model would I be to young'ns like you Eddie-o

FlipRizzi

i agree with ed benben. in that order for sure. if it was me, ill definitely save the bbk last and get all the other mods done.

anyways, youre welcome. i really am loving it so far. so is it safe to say benben is going to be 4th one in the forum with the CT-E exhaust??? you are not going to regret it!!!!

benben01

CT-E exhaust is definitely in the cards. Right now, bbk is my next order of bizness considering they are on sale at Heel & Toe at the moment. The other part of me says to spend the extra $400 and get a Stop Tech BBK with the 2 pc rotor as well... Should have a nice bonus check coming soon to figure all that out

Stylinhonda

Looks like you have a grat build so far. Did you get pics up of the roof and trunk spoilers yet?

BTW: What are the caliper covers you spoke of in the first post?

benben01

here ya go.. brake caliper covers..

http://www.calipercovers.com/

KillerG

Those caliper covers are ugly, and BBK are far too expensive, honestly I kind of just want to get blank brake covers:




And put the Acura logo on them, it would look nice, be cheap, and you arent posing as if you have brembo brakes.

But the last time I saw someone try this on a car forum I am pretty sure they were destroyed

PyroDave

i believe the sale is until may, so you have a bit of time, and you get 10% off on your entire order, so maybe they can get you the exhaust and save you 10%?? find out, hes a cool guy haha

FlipRizzi

thanks man. and nope. im still trying to figure out how get them to stick properly. there is a friggin gap on both my trunk and roof spoilers coz of the tape =( and i dont want to drill holes on my trunk for just the spoiler..
thanks for the vid ben. im still debating on getting them. if i do go that route, i may choose the ones with less holes or whatever those things are called around the calipers. i think you can just get two. top and bottom
hmmm those look nice actually but in black =) link to where i can check em out?

I seriously might do this... Haters gonna Hate

benben01

BBKs are expensive, but damn, they are nice when you need to stop securely from high speeds.. Even my wife appreciates a set of BBKs. She's been wanting a set on the MDX.

KillerG

Save a $1000 mod:




Unless you are tracking this car or you like on a japanese mountain you will not likely be getting your BBKs worth...

I could see it on the MDX... that is a massive beast that i'm sure would be more comforting with a BBK on ur feet

FlipRizzi

thats interesting killerG. so you just stick it over our stock calipers? i wonder how the glue would hold though?

and for the BBK, if i had the money ill be all over it but that shat is wayyyy expensive to be put on a dd. would be nice to have them though. in addition to its functionality, they look so niceeeeeee

benben01

This isnt my first or last set of bbks young'ns if history is an indication of future mods both my Si and AV6 had bbks on them right before being boosted

FlipRizzi

Oh benben you baller you. Must be nice. I am still a Youngblood alright. Heheh but I'm working my way post some pics of the your past bbks mate please

KillerG

Im poor so i have to consider putting plastic covers on stock brakes

teach me your ways ben
