Difference is quite noticeable. From quick to scary quick (at around 3000 rpm and upward). FL5 should respond better due to better cooling and all. I’m sure both Hondata and KTuner will make tunes for it. Best bang for buck to get more hp, imho. Just remember to toss that powertrain warranty out the window if you like to drag race people at the stop light, after flashing the ECU.

That does sound pretty good. I feel like I’ve seen some videos of the Invidia R400 that sounded pretty good as well.

I had a Invidia on my EVO X and it was fantastic.

AWE makes a good one (Touring Edition) for the FK8. US-made and not the most expensive either. No drone on the highway. Hondata and high-flow air filter. No other mods. Maybe around 350 hp.

Startup:



Canyon run (mostly 3rd gear, up to 40 mph):

Is it catless?

Man those are crazy numbers with just a tune.

Same for my WRX. Very happy with it.

Is it catless?

No, it comes with larger front pipe as well. Touring Edition is the quieter exhaust vs their Track Edition.

I feel like these exhausts just amplify the vacuum noises.

Here’s a newb question- will spoon springs jack up the car at all? Id be eyeballin those the second they come out but i also dont want to do anything that would hose up the suspension long term.

I didn't pay attention to what you were responding to. However you mean with Hondata.... That makes more sense.

For the FK8, the Spoon Springs lowers the car by 20 mm per their product page. Seems like you want to get their Zero Bump Steer Kit to correct the suspension geometry if lowering the car?

No personal experience.... Hopefully, someone else can chime in with first hand experience.

You’ll be fine, they don’t hurt anything

they don’t by any means slam the car

Next question is would they improve handling?

The swift springs I had on my fk8 definitely made the car have less roll, felt great

Nice. Ill probably get springs, the geo kit and now wondering about tge motion control beams and whether or not they would make a diff.

#1 thing to do is drop off FL5 at my detailer for paint correction & ceramic coating/front ppf.
After recovering from cost of detailing, will be wheels & springs.
Then will be performance mods, starting with Eventuri intake for sure & exhaust (prolly JDM, maybe HKS this time...had Greddy on my FK8).

Prolly get the Honda Red carbon wing and bits as well.
