The issue with those is that they are obviously processed. So comparing those to something else is extremely unfair. They did a good job with their video as it is extremely well made, but I don’t entirely trust the audio to compare against others.
I can confirm the Borla is 100% what it says it is and worth what they are asking, aggressive and no drone. I'm running open with no plates and still doesn't drone.

What offset are your wheels? The fitment is great.
Sorry I forgot to include that in my original post (which I've now updated). They are 18x9.5 45mm offset

I have been running this exhaust for a number of months so far. Still super happy with the sound and have switched the different plates a number of times. Currently happy with the center one blocked. Love that I have options to switch when I want something different. Plus the Borla looks cool from behind the car with the words etched in.

Well, while I was hauling ass trying to get some good datalogs to diagnose this single-cylinder knock I'm having, I noticed something cool about Hondata's full throttle shift that I don't think they or anyone else has mentioned.

It holds the wastegate closed. :love::headbang:

Pull to redline and let off throttle and you'll hear your normal woosh as the wastegate opens. Use FTS and you'll only drop to 8-10psi before getting back into gear. Our turbo goddamn near insta-spools at that point.

Doesn't sound nearly as awesome, but still. I always thought this was just a fancy little feature to make quicker smoother shifts at redline.. nope, shits basically a shifting antilag.

I've been leaning towards Borla due to the adjustability of it (quiet to loud). How easy would it be to switch out the plates? Like could you just swap them out by hand or would you need tools and stuff?

It's just a clamp that you have to screw on and off. You can see that in the video.

Everything done is to their own taste but I am not a fan of the 2020 shift knob design. I liked the ball better than that one and the upgrade knob is still the same on one I Have for the 2020 Type R,

Seems like side markers are the most common cosmetic mod, heh. One of mine is strangely loose too... might be time to join the club.

In other news, my hunt for the single cylinder knock has made progress. I've been seeing 4-8 degrees on cylinder 1 whenever I tap the throttle. After swapping plugs on cylinder 1 and 4, the problem jumped to cylinder 4 and got so bad that even feather tapping the throttle at idle ends up with 6 degrees retard EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 100% reproducible.

However, going WOT does not cause much knock at all??

Gonna swap 1 into 2 and 4 into 3 since my middle cylinders never have problems. If it moves to cylinder 3, it's gotta be the plug.

Please, honda gods.. let it be the plug. I attached a datalog for those curious what this looks like.
