Just got my tracking info as well. It won't be here for a Sat install, but at least it'll be there for next weekend. :thumbsup:

Installed mine yesterday, everything went smooth and I have a 19, only thing was that it didn't come with 2x 10mm to bolt down the intake on the rad support, does anyone know if hondata release an of the shelf map for a fbo, intake and e85 tune? I tried looking in the flash pro manager but didn't see anything

So I started to have a subtle rattle noise that is more pronounce when I rev engine in the morning to engage the clutch. I also noticed the whoosh sound is not as crisp as before, still loud though. I thought it is because the engine is not warmed up in the morning. Today, I popped the hood and found this. The 2 bolts that hold air inlet became loose. The 2 bolts that hold the metal bracket is also loose. And the worst part, 6 bolts that hold the cover on the side came off. I found 1 stuck in the engine bay below. So the rattle noise is most likely from the loose bolts and the side cover plate. Not sure wth happened because I’m sure I tightened the bolts and checked multiple times. What I can think of is that because we no longer have the corrugated hose, more vibration is transmitted to the air box, and overtime, they came loose. I could also be that I didn’t torque it properly because I was afraid I would round out the hex bolt. So yeah, open your hood and double check to make sure if the bolts are still tight before they come off like mine.

Same thing happened to a user a page back.

Kind of not wanting to buy this intake anymore lol, seeing a lot of problems with it especially installation.
