Hey guys, as some of you may know I had been in the process of purchasing a Type R since November last year as far as deposits go and contracts. Well I finally got it last Friday (08/19/2017), for more info on my purchase experience, ups and downs check out my video going more in detail of the experience.
Moving on from there, I was stoked to pick up my Type R full disclosure I paid 1k over msrp once everything was all said and done, to me personally it was worth it
Within 24hrs I had put 230 miles on my Type r just local driving, I was ecstatic to say the least I had all my friends wanting to see it and I was not about to disappoint but just like we had all uncovered months ago the sound was underwhelming and needed some change. So the first thing I did was take it to the exhaust shop the next day and had the two resonators in the center removed! For stock vs modified sound clips check out my video!
Theres even a spot where a Golf R pops up and wanted to do a quick pull, I humored him and won....
I'm also a fan of most OEM accessories, so something I installed was the Wind Deflectors, they did a sweet job with making them appear aggressive and go with the lines of the car. I made video going over the installation for them as well.
Initial impressions of the vehicle so far, comfort mode is usually my go to for daily driving, just being in that encourages my mind to have a little less of a lead foot which I feel most of us have. I'm 23 but also a dad and it works for myself and my family!
Check out my youtube channel and subscribe if your interested in just Civic Type R stuff, tomorrow I will be meeting up with two other Type R owners to meet and greet and next week hit the track! Following that it will spend sometime at a well known suspension company for some R&D work!
Stay tuned for more!
Uploaded a video comparing stock exhaust sound to de-resonated to straight piped.
