I actually found an exhaust combo that doesnt sound like rice. A Flowmaster DBX instead of a resonator with a muffler delete sounds amazing

Lemme hear that you!!!

I planing on doing something custom for exhaust as well in the coming few weeks.

Look up 2016 civic flowmaster dbx on YT, there is a sound clip from someone's car

This sounds just like a normal muffler delete he does have a Dbx but I’ve had muffler delete to a axle back to full exhaust. This is how my car rumbles now with a cherry bomb catless. Nothing to special and I think here he has a k24 manifold so might it be close to this as you think.

Glad you're excited! We've seen some recent guys have ECUs that weren't yet listed, so we're having to add them. If you didn't check before hand and you get the message that it's not supported, just get in touch by email with the number that it gives you.

Yup :/ unfortunately mine wasn't supported (2018) and got an email saying to wait for an update. Hopefully you guys will be releasing it soon? Was really stoked to install it.

So just a muffler delete will produce that sound? If so im not going to spend $170 on that flowmaster dbx lol

I have had muffler delete done I believe I posted it somewhere in this forum, but it didn't sound like this. This one seems to have more bass and deepness to it.
I put my muffler back on as I didn't quiet like it.

This however sounds good. I like it.

170$ dang that deepness could be made with a cherry bomb. Look up cherry bombs that’s the rumble your looking for with out paying 170.

I heard the muffler delete from a video on YT and it sounds pretty rice imo. I think the DBX is our best bet, but I haven't listened to a cherry bomb on a 2.0L civic yet hopefully at some point someone posts it or I might just get it myself, idk.

edit: after looking at their website it looks like cherry bombs are heavily geared towards V8 vehicles.

I have a cherry bomb and a lot of other people do the same after it breaks in get pops and crackles and has that deep tone to it even if you look at it with different cars with a 2.0 displacement will sound about the same because that how it sounds on my car. I could take a video of mine but I have full exhaust with downpipe.

What kind of cherry bomb did u get? Not looking for a loud/ricey tone just deeper over stock.

The original glasspack one it’s a the most common one and it’s going to be loud a muffler delete is decently loud over stock now replace the resanotor with something aftermarket going to be decently loud.

let us know how you like it

K just had a few pulls. The difference is noticeable but I think I was expecting too much lol. I'm also full tank on 81 octane so I have to wait for that reason finish. Oh man vtec is amazing at 5600rpm. I have aem intake so it's VERY noticeable

Also, what mode am I supposed to drive in for the tune? D? S? Any? Is the tune specific to certain driving mode?

Dude the octane WILL make a significant difference. The tune is optimized to run at 93 octane so running on 87 (I think you meant 87?) won't give you nearly the results of a tank of 93. Once you fill up 93 let us know how it changes.

Okay how can I tell if Ktuner is flashed? Because i connect through bluetooth with my phone, in ktuner menu I got flash factory I click that and it does its thing, then the only option I get in ktuner is recovery mode. Cool . Now when I plug ktuner out turn car off then put ktuner back in and connect with phone, I get the same flash factory option again....???

What is happening? Is the tune not sticking?

Am I supposed to keep the ktuner plugged in all the time?
