I only got to get one drive with the intercooler and other exhaust mods while still having the factory tune in it but to be honest there was actually more of a gain than I thought I would have gotten. There was no loss of response and the mid range and upper end power was easily noticeable! Pulled hard for sure. With my adjusted Hondata calibration it is DEFINITELY everything I hoped it would be!
Good to hear! Better get one for myself. Flashpro and some prl goodies are on the next list of things to order. Time to wake this car up.

You have NO IDEA how much better you can make it with those simple mods!!:beer:

Been quite a few threads on this but I did a couple of things differently...I used foam sealing tape applied to the bottom side of the aluminum bumper beam to seal to the intercooler so All the air passes through the intercooler core. Used stainless Allen hardware too. One tip to remember is that the left and right air surrounds attach to the bottom ledge of the bumper cover plastic assembly and I recommend leaving the left and right side fog light grills off so you can properly attach them so they can still do their job, funneling air into the intercooler.

May I ask what foam sealing tape you used (brand, length, width, etc)? As an engineer by trade, your comments make logical sense and I may want to look into this when I do my intercooler. Thanks!

I have it at my shop, I will post the information tomorrow. I don't remember the actual dimensions. Absolutely do this while you are in there....the more airflow through the intercooler core and not around it the better the efficiency!:beer:
