wait, skunk2 has an intake coming out?

Trentimus

2.5 is good cause I can run just the DP for now..

Trentimus

Skunk2 is making one similar to the 8th gen civic which is very intriguing if it works on our cars.. Probably will be the best given the polymer tubing and 3.5"

Trentimus

He said the K&N air intake is straight garbage lol

spdandpwr

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of skunk products and I've seen better gains with the rick spec'd intake than with the skunk2.

spdandpwr

get the aem like me...it doesn't have too many bends and it's cheaper. just waiitng for aaron to confirm fitment

Trentimus

I may go that route because I don't want my SC to just sit around for too long

** I guess I am stuck on something like a fender located CAI or SRI because I run the risk of hydrolocking in TX but its fine ill just refuse to be the driver in floods haha

Trentimus

FlashPro is ordered.. Maybe I can convince Vit to do an eDyno stock, with the CAI only and then CAI+DP, and then SC.. That might help promote the ILX modding community.

spdandpwr

that'd be awesome! You'll get a nice comparison between power adders too! Get the RV6 noaw!!

Trentimus

Ordering the RV6 w/ Cat tomorrow.. :\ SO MUCH MONEY
I was expecting 240ish with just the blower but an intake and DP later I best be getting 260whp..

Trentimus

Cheapest I found Borla Cat back was $620 shipped

spdandpwr

Where did you even find the borla catback? I can't find it online. Try the invidia q300...it's not the greatest sound, but I found it for 509 shipped and it's straight through design (plus 70mm piping) should yield a tad bit more power.

i just noticed that the price of the SSK's were bumped up $50!

spdandpwr

ssks?

Trentimus

*scratch that I just saw the wrong year one that looked like a coffee can**
.. don't like the sound enough for a bit more power honestly.. I'd go 3" if I were lookin to squeeze the extra out of it and sacrifice sound. Na mean?

You can find the Borla catback on Summit Racing's site and Borla's official site.

spdandpwr

so what exhaust are you going to go with

Trentimus

RV6 to Borla catback unless ATLP says they will come out with one..

spdandpwr

so you're saying summit sells it on their site? funny that you ended up going with one...I guess you did like the sound enough

Trentimus

They all sound less than optimal.. but the Borla sounds the smoothest. I really got on a quality set of speakers and listened to the Full-Race and realized what people were saying about that metal tinning sound.. it sounds extremely bad. The exhaust sound is fine but that metal sound bothers me a lot.

spdandpwr

haha, I'm just smirking because I was the one who pointed out this exhaust to you

That's what this community is all about! Swaying other people to follow your beliefs and opinions until eventually you become a cult and drink the Kool-Aid...

Wait.. that wasn't it was it.|

Is that priced shipped? Hmmm, wondering if we can ask heel toe to get us discounted pricing on it. He said he'll work with us to get ilx parts.

Trentimus

I can honestly say it would only merit waiting if he did a template. Otherwise I am gonna have to figure something out with cutting my bumper and putting a tip on it so it wouldn't help me to go with HeelToe if that ends up being the case.

spdandpwr

I'm saying if he can give us a discount on the borla exhaust

Trentimus

OOOH.. got you. I am not doing a cat back for a little bit.. just DP for now. But, I like to look around so I have a vision of where I wanna go with things. The Borla is my #1 choice.. I am gonna hold out a bit and see what feedback we get on the ATLP exhaust.

spdandpwr

Alright, cool. When I asked about discounted pricing actually added it to his price, lol. $18 cheaper than borla's website:

spdandpwr

I'm going to go IHE first so I'll let you know how it all goes.

Trentimus

Werd. Well you better go quick cause I am getting all but the catback on with the SC.

He should know to notate that the Borla exhaust would need the tip cut and turned down to fit the ILX. **or bumper modifications

Trentimus

Should ask him to hook up with RV6 and sell that DP though.. That for sure fits

Trentimus

I already ordered my RV6 DP and arranged for it to be black matte hi-temp coated when it gets in. <3

spdandpwr

great! where did you order from? the place I told you about?

Trentimus

I just went through RV6 I figure it might be faster and only $10 more.

Will start a build thread once either my DP or Flashpro come in.. Thinkin about ordering the Rick Spec'd CAI but I really prefer Skunk2 just not really into the idea my Stock box will collapse haha

spdandpwr

rick spec'd intake is for cars but I don't know how the battery will fit

Trentimus

nope!

http://www.9thgencivic.com/forum/imp...-shipping.html

spdandpwr

haha, I found that out after you posted. what about the battery.

Trentimus

its unfortunate that it relocates the battery to such a hard to reach area.. that's another reason I really prefer the Skunk2.. just asked them they said they're 3-4 months out before they release their intake.

Trentimus

Haha, I got the impression that Skunk2 wasn't overly excited about CT-E products.

spdandpwr

skunk2 has their own supercharger so they naturally won't be too happy about you saying you have the ct one, lol

Trentimus

Lol! Yeah, I just said I had a supercharger on the way for a sense of urgency and then he asked which one.. And he said from his experience w/ the 8th gen the CT wont use typical intakes.. then I told him about the new inlet that works with the stock fitment and he goes "well at least they got that right" lol .. NOW it may just be assumptive on my part but it definitely seemed like he wasn't thrilled about CT haha

spdandpwr

too bad ct sells more kits than they do
