Just keep in mind that with Greddy SP exhaust you might experience some low-end torque loss. It's not a big one but you will definitely notice it

how about risk to damaging the computer
It won’t damage the ecu.

There is a risk that if you use too powerful a tune it could damage the engine or transmission but the plug and play tunes aren’t likely to do that.

The KTuner and Hondata devices both come with basic tunes that bump up the HP a little by increasing the max turbo boost pressure. Two Step Performance sells a very popular tune that you can get for either device that does that and a little more. All three options are considered safe.

I am about to pickup a K Tuner. I see that there is a Honda Hack in order to get TunerView on the head unit. I was going to purchase the V2 but do you guys know if it is easy to install turnerview?

I think it is very worth it upgrading stock exhaust I got a prl no cat downpipe and a costume 3 inch exhaust with a ultra vibrant resonator and the car changed a lot but if you gonna go this route have a ktunner
I am going to purchase the ktuner first...do I need the V2 if there is a Honda hack now?

Cat back exhausts are going to be mainly for looks and sound. To gain performance you can feel, you’ll need a down pipe / front pipe.


would changing the down pipe on the stock exhaust do anything or the whole exhaust would need to be changed?

A down pipe will add horsepower, but be aware will make your car loud, and could a throw check engine light.
good to know...not looking forward to having that headache lol thanks!
