It definitely smells, you can smell it in the cabin when sitting on a traffic light with the windows down. The catted downpipes I had on my Si smelled too but not as bad as this one.
Hey! I bought mine from King Motorsports too. I was originally planning on buying a pair of MSZ reclinable seats but changed my mind and sent Scott an email regarding the MSR. They had a couple in stock so I placed my order and it got shipped a couple of days after.
Sorry I threw out the packaging already. But it's 10th gen Accord horns, and they're plug and play, I just had to relocate one horn closer to the fender liner. They sound pretty similar to stock BMW horns.
In my opinion, it sounds pretty good! On stock DP it sounds super close to the stock exhaust and it isn't droney. With the catless DP it's became louder (but not Tomei loud) and it drones around 2500-3100rpm. I find the 27won catted DP and exhaust on my Si louder than this setup tbh.
I appreciate the kind words, brother!
I bought a couple of Mugen bits and the Honda Access fog light from RHDJapan and Blackhawk Japan and so far their service is superior than most shops locally. It doesn't take too long to ship your order as long as the parts are readily available. Shipping...
HKS intercooler mounted! Also wrapped the coolant lines and charge pipe with gold thermal tape, hopefully it makes a difference in temperature even a bit.
Even swapped out the horns with an OEM Accord horn. Also upgraded the shifter bushings.
The tear down begins! This process is going to be a bit slow since I'm just squeezing this between work and school. I'll eventually finish this 🤣
Intake, inlet pipe, downpipe, and intercooler is off. This is easier to work on than the 1.5t, surprisingly.
Had a bit of an oopsie when the top...
Exhaust install was a breeze! It sounds a bit louder than stock, glad I went with this system instead of the Tomei Type D. Now I'm itching to install the downpipe so I can compare how it sounds vs stock.
Also, new wheels are installed!! 🥳
HKS Hipermax IV coilovers installed!
Haven't really had the time to start with the install since work and school's been keeping me busy.
I figured I'd also share the daily, slapped some ATs on the wheels that were on my Si! At least with this, I don't have to worry about driving on crappy...
Didn't intend for this build to go full Mugen like my Si, but a friend parted out his car and insisted that I take these parts 😅
Mugen MF10 18x9.5 +45
testing to see how it would look like on the car 😅
Mugen full Titanium exhaust
I really wanted to get the Tomei, but couldn't refuse...
The goodies have arrived just before Christmas! Utilized the versatility of the hatchback to store the parts!
Huge thanks to Humza @Unity Performance for supporting the build!
