That's essentially how it is from the factory. If you look through the center pipe the valve is right there and its just a straight pipe in the middle with a small resonated baffling inside. When its closed it diverts air to the outside 2 pipes with muffler but when its open its basically...

Black and Red were my most wanted colors but I didn't really get a choice. I do like White and sonic grey tied for 3rd. The car looks amazing in all the colors though so I don't mind it, Im more glad I was able to get the car at all. Unfortunately with the demand/production situation I don't...

Yes my foot was on the throttle and that does make sense too. Now that I get a better grasp of the exhaust without ASC, even in all modes it does still seem a little too quiet so I'll be interested in options as more exhausts come out.

I just spent some time today to unplug the ASC and can confirm it does not effect the exhaust modes. After messing around with all the settings I am thinking the Engine mode AND Engine sound effect the exhaust valve but not 100% certain. Id need go pro mounted looking into the exhaust valve to...

Info here: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/fl5-adaptive-sound-control-and-active-exhaust-valve-discussion.51198/ From what I understand it only effects the noise through the speakers so the exhaust should still operate as designed under all the other modes.

Currently mine is set to: Sport Engine/Throttle Mapping Comfort suspension Comfort steering Comfort Exhaust / Engine Noise. Rev Match On Sport Gauges If I get around to unplugging the Active Sound module Ill leave it in +R engine sound but I cannot stand the pumped in engine noise.

If you are going to track the car and heat up the brakes, there is no getting around minor bleeds. SRF is the highest quality and most boiling resistant but I would expect it to still lose life after a season and many heat cycles. Ive always got the large cans of ATE200 or the updated "super...

When listening to a video on all the exhausts for the FK8 I like the way the spoon sounds the best imo. Its crazy expensive and does not look that good but it has a great louder OEM+ sound that lets some of the turbo come through. I really dont think the K20 sounds that good without cats or...

Ok

Yes I get that, which means these are under-reporting the numbers and that there would be more than 1030. Thats why Im confused where Cary got the 300 number from.

Ugh what? Theres been nearly 1030 allocated to America so far. They are certainly off but it seems feasible to hit the 2300 this year easily. Where did you get the 300 number from? Civic Type R tracker. Hit the "All colors stats" in the top right thats tracking all units allocated so far...

Sidewall stiffness is a factor but the amount of grip the tires have will still overwhelm -1* quickly. In my old FA5 I daily drove -2.7* all the time and didn't notice any extra wear over 10k miles over what the track does. Around -2 to -2.5* is a decent compromise between daily drive ability...

Can you share images of the scratches? That will help in determining the best path forward. At the very least I would go back to the dealer and see if they will help pay for a paint correction.

The tank is about 12.5 gallons. Honda is conservative with thier warnings to prevent people from running it completely empty. Usually when the range hits 0 you still have about another 20 miles available, but it depends on car and MPG.

There are way too many variables to give you a good estimate. A set could easily last 5-8 track days, maybe an entire summer. If you drive too hard, run too high pressures, overheat or roll them hard it could be severely degraded after the first track day.

You can get front camber adjusters with a replaceable lower ball joint. Not sure if there are FL5 specific ones out yet or if the FK8 can carry over. As others have said, the car is very capable even in stock form so it can handle lapping sessions fine. Invest in a good helmet, go out and see...

With the FL5 there is really not much else required other than pads and brake fluid to higher temp. If you are getting started that may not even be necessary as you learn the car. The factory wheels and tires are just fine unless you are worried about dust damage. The only other thing I can...

Local dealer in Milwaukee got one, Rosen Honda. Went to discuss in person and they initially wanted 20k over MSRP, was able to finally get them down to 10k, but its Boost Blue and not my ideal color. I do have a deposit and MSRP allocation local so I just wanted to see if I could swing the...

Are you able to see if anymore are coming to WI?
