Looks like it was a great day and a fantastic turn out I was just reminiscing that 17 years ago we had a group of Type R’s show up to VIR as well. Love to see the tradition continue. It was also where my forum name was originated that have kept to this day
I don’t want to beat a dead horse or anything but……. I’m about to beat this dead horse anyway ?

GruppeM user here. I’ve had zero issues with it. No need to touch the ecu during install. You can also reach in and remove or replace the filter while it’s inside the box with it still on the car. I have no regrets with it after 5000 miles of use.

I talked to my local Honda Rep yesterday and he said the Type R will continue through 2027 for sure
It doesn’t matter in this case. Just go to one you trust or where you bought the car from. If this does turn into a warranty claim then the dealer would send this to a body shop of its choice and pay that shop based on the warranty stipulations
