  1. "Quieter" FK8 Civic Type R Exhaust setup (Si mufflers on Type R)

    Hey Acc77, thanks for posting with your assessment, and glad to hear that after living with the modification for a bit, you're happy with it. The new year ramped up pretty quickly for me as far as work and kid stuff, so I haven't had a lot of time on civicX. I agree with your assessment...
  2. "Quieter" FK8 Civic Type R Exhaust setup (Si mufflers on Type R)

    Thanks for the tip! Admittedly I don't log on to civicx super regularly, but if you have a link/ thread title for the thread you're referring to, I'd love to check it out. I do have a couple rolls left over... I bought the jumbo kit haha.
  3. "Quieter" FK8 Civic Type R Exhaust setup (Si mufflers on Type R)

    You read that right. While one of the biggest complaints of the FK8 type R platform is that the stock exhaust is too quiet, I think there are a handful of people (myself included) that hated the booming (aka drone) that it produced. To me, it wasn't the most uncomfortable on the freeway. It...
  4. Ears ringing and popping in new 19' Type R - Any wise advice?

    Stereo on or off, it doesn't seem to matter too much, for me at least (even unplugged the active sound module!). I really attribute it to exhaust booming... that "ear fullness" you describe.
  5. Ohio WTB: FK8 type R 17-20 OE Exhaust

    Looking to buy someone's take-off OEM exhaust for FK8 Civic Type R. Single-piece or Center-cut is fine, and prefer somewhat local to central Ohio for pickup. I want to play with different mufflers / resonator, etc, but want to have my OE one in case I screw it up. Or if you have one cut and...
  6. Ears ringing and popping in new 19' Type R - Any wise advice?

    OK so as promised, here is the Before/After overlay. While I felt that the harshness came way down, the graphs do not support that... I really expected a different outcome, but according to this recording method, nothing changed (!). I recorded with the C filter [ie, dB(C) ] because from my...
  7. Ears ringing and popping in new 19' Type R - Any wise advice?

    I wanted to follow up as well. I had been getting to the point where I decided I either needed to fix the exhaust booming or trade the car in, as much as it would pain me to do that. I ordered four rolls of the soundskins pro (I only needed ~1.8 rolls for what you see here) as well as the OEM...
  8. Ears ringing and popping in new 19' Type R - Any wise advice?

    This sounds very familiar to me! I just picked up a 2020 type R and have a very similar thing. My ringing is more sporadic, but when I get out, I feel as if I've had my head in a subwoofer. My wife does not mind the sound of my car. And as far as I can tell, the biggest complaint from...
