Gotcha. The question just seemed like it was asking about potential downsides of the FL5 BOV which is the point of the original post.

I'm pretty sure this kit that's being released at the end of the month has a recirc and isn't vent to atmosphere, thus not subject to the issues you noted above.

I have full PPF on my DE5. I don't think it's worth the cost, honestly. Would go for just partial moving forward.

Y'all are lying to yourselves if you're around 40 and think you don't need this!

Yep. Not a dig at the type R at all. I think it's still a great looking car, but a lot of people on here have got it on too high of a pedestal. Someone on here already said it, but I'll echo the same sentiment: get what speaks to you. If you think the DE5 is a better looking car, get that -...

I would've said that for the FK8, but to me head on, most average people wouldn't think much other than another civic.

This topic has been beat to death a bit so some searching on here will give you a bit more info. Given this is the FL5 forums, you'll have a lot more of supporters for the CTR but here's a quick rundown: People consider the FL5 to have more pedigree being a Type R and offered overseas. Final...

So I've had it for about a year now (though to be fair I still barely have 5k miles on the car). I think it sounds great. The stock DE5 exhaust even at Sport+ was a little too quiet for me. Borla at Sport is perfect now and it stays at that about 90% of the time. I kick it to Sport+ when I am...

I got no problems with a hybrid if it was still performance-oriented (ie good power, manual transmission, great handling).

Man, any tips??? It was such a PITA for me to get everything lined up that I was fully counting on just taking the ECU off to service. I'm not worried at all about ECU removal but it seems like other people are - am I missing something here? As long as I am careful about the pins, I see no issues.

this looks inspired by the DE5 steering wheel.

you'd have to do that with anything that has a snorkel no? I wish there was one that had a door at the top that you can open up to service the filter. Having to disassemble the intake just to clean the filter is stupid (PRL here)

Just pop out the middle (in red below) and the entire tab should pop out easily. You can use a thin flathead or use trim removal tools like these.

Any issues with the airbag sensor with this setup? Or do you have to have a canceller? I have the DE5 and the although I love every other aspect of the car, the seat is very lacking.
