Honestly the Type R sounds great like that. I'm a big fan of factory active exhausts. I used to have a Scion tC that was catless, no resonator, and had a fart can. While I enjoyed that in my late teens, I can't imagine driving something that obnoxious all the time now lol. I have my sights set on a Mustang Dark Horse maybe next year. The quiet start feature is a dream come true living in an apartment complex with an attached garage.

@porfiriato84 Жыл бұрын

Dude I had the same in my first gen tC. Mine had an aftermarket header, exhaust and CAI. I was young so I thought my car sounded cool. But looking back now, I'd never drive it haha. I also lowered it on springs, limo tint all around (which caused CHP to write me a ticket) had these awesome wheels in staggered stance and short throw shifter. Good times. Oh and I forgot, I had 2 12" kicker subs with a 1000 watt mono amp. Shit sounded terrible LMAO

@TassieLorenzo Жыл бұрын

I like the resonator delete + valve open combo, that sounds spot-on to me^. Loud enough that you can hear it, but not so loud as to wake up the neighbourhood. Yeah, it should be like that stock, but oh well what can you do. 🙂 I wonder if people who find the CTR's shocks too stiff and people who find the ITS too soft will be swapping suspension modules at car meets? ^ I achieved a similar effect on my FN2 Civic Type R by removing the middle baffle from the back box and welding it back up, a nice OEM+ sound perhaps like how it should have sounded in the first place. (The last thing you want to do on an NA four cylinder is a resonator delete as that sounds awful - like a swarm of bees in a can, that's strictly for turbo fours only, lol! This way it kept the Helmholtz chamber at the end of the stock back box to remove drone, which a lot of aftermarket back boxes omit.)

Hey Topher, I'm a fan and got my type r last month. Wanted to know if you could recommend a good sporty, more comfortable tire that can get last at least 30k miles wear? - I want to use stock original 19" rims but would prefer a little more side wall for softer ride in these crap so-cal freeways. I want to save cup 4's for track in spring. I appreciate your content and it nudge me to pull the trigger on mine in sonic grey. Love it! Only few gripes... 1. it needs a 15 gl. fuel tank 2.manual handbrake 3. Better back up camera 4. Led front/rear signal lights 5. Unused button: rev match on/off 6.analog tachometer/speedometer gauges. Keep the rev lights as is, 👌. 7. R mode can stay extreme but I think comfort and sport need to be dialed back at least 20% of stiffness. 8. Better factory exhaust note. A Long, but liveable lists of gripes that would make it even more timeless imo. I do love the, 1.handling 2.transmission 3.brakes 4.styling 5.space int&ext 6.seats are great, but warm in long drives. 7. visibility, minus right rear corner can be a little limiting. Forward visibility is perfect. It would be nice if they could increase clutch firmness a little in R mode, give it a more ' hydraulic' feel. I alsi miss the days of auto tilting side mirrors while reversing parking to see diatance from curb. Budget Camera is not as confidence inspring in rain or limited light situation.

May or may not be the same, but in my Type S you have to wait a sec before putting the clutch in when you take your foot off the gas when flooring it. Depending on how fast you clutch in/shift, you will get rev hang or even some more revs. It's kind of annoying. It's only really noticeable when flooring it. Partial throttle you can shift as fast as you want without issue in my experience.
