Does the downpipe for this kit require their Prl frontpipe? Will it fit on oem, because there’s been rumors of their prior downpipe needed their front pipe to all mount together...
Our Turbo kit downpipe will bolt up to any honda 3 bolt flange whether it is a OEM FP, our FP, or any other aftermarket FP with a 3 bolt flange connection

Those who are waiting for videos need to realize that those receiving the kits and installing then have to tune them. I know a few are getting etuned so that takes time. You cant just bolt it on and go out blast away. They are waiting to get to a point in the tune where its appropriate to make a video that shows the capabilities of these turbos. If someone posted a vid of the car on 15 psi people would say "oh its slow for a big turbo, what a waste of money" etc.

Well said! Def takes time! I'm in Massachusettes and just got hit with a crappy snow and ice storm so tuning is on hold for a bit until the roads clean up. With that said the kit is amazing all the awesome turbo noises you can handle! I did just get the green light to turn boost up to 20psi I have only been tuning off wastegate currently 15psi and it feels stock at that level. I will get some videos once available and tuning has finished. However it's very hard to pick up all the great sounds this it makes on video. More to come as my tune progresses!

I'll be driving down to Derek's shop for the tune. I went through the street tune process once already xD

Going to be a nice relaxing 9 hour drive on a base map just to get me drivable lol

Plus I wanna see what a meth system can really do, and I'll need to be in person and on a dyno, for that

No worries, just didn't want confusion on this! Hopefully laying down a nice pass on slicks this coming spring with our upgraded turbo kit. Only have to finish up a few pieces for proper fitment with slicks and wheels.

Im planning to get a PRL upgrade later this year but I got some questions..
First of all, I am not a car guy, I'm in process to learn things that goes under the hood.
I own a 2017 ext manual, does this kit worth on a ext? Or should I get a Si first and PRL? Did anyone know if its reliable? I'm not trying to race or anything just hoping to get more power for better daily drive.

Thanks for helping me out!
