What did you do to your FL5 today?

[TW00Si]

Decided to put in this inlet tube that’s been sitting around for a few months. Not sure when I’ll actually be getting my TSP downpipe so just wanted to enjoy it.

The install is not hard but uninstalling is never fun. The lone harness at the very bottom of the car was a pain to unclip and prying open the harness wire cover took the longest time. Otherwise, everything lines up spot on.

It also makes a bit more sound revving in neutral. Will see how it is when I drive tomorrow.

Got this sunglass holder off AliExpress for cheap and thought I'd give it a try. Happy that I can now free up my door pocket and have my sunglasses out of the way

Love it!! I did this mod a few months ago, real convenient and a life saver for my Raybans

Which setting did you go with? I have the RV6 rear bar not really sure I need the rates the karcept bar can provide

2/2 not much difference in the street driving normally
But driving spiritedly definitely can feel the rear wants to turn in more. Hopefully we’ll get an autocross event soon

My son encountered loose gravel on the road yesterday. Thankfully, he wasn't injured. I'm guessing it's totaled...

UPDATE - yep, totaled.

 

[svvitch]

Ouch! Glad he's OK! I bet it's totaled Maybe someone will fix it and track it

 

[Clark_Kent]

Really sorry to read and see this. Glad no one was injured. The car looks busted up pretty good. It's likely this one is a goner, unfortunately.

Apexi exhaust installed and sounds great in person.

Me and my car have gotten really personal in the last week and a half. Rigid collars feel amazing after the install but I'm not sure what they feel like on the stock suspension setup. I've been running the RSR coilovers with rv6 suspension components for the last month or so.

The turbo and intake combo sound amazing and I wish I had an external mic to mount somewhere to record it. In the mean time the tune is being worked by @Jester04.

Oh I also, destroyed my driver side door like a moron so there's more to do. Luckily resale value is not relevant for me. This thing isn't going anywhere as long as I'm alive.

All the little issues I would say a little more than personal. You guys are in an intimate relationship by now with how she has been screwing you over.

slow day at work, a nice car wash after a track day

...overnight parts from Japan.

I wanted to partially close the loop on this. I was able to get this installed a couple weeks back. The system consists of the front pipe (purchased seperately) + mid-section + muffler. Here are the photos:

Before

After

A few notes:

• Fitment - 10/10. Every portion of the system from the hangers to tip alignment to clearances are spot on.
• Packaging - Very good as is the quality of the included hardware. It's clear great care was taken to ensure the parts aren't damaged during shipping. Everything you need to install the exhaust is included in the box including some metallic decals if that's your thing.
• Weight - The savings over stock is 14.52 lbs, or 30%. The breakdown is as follows:

Stock Exhaust - 40.26 lbs (18.3 kg)​

Stock Front pipe - 9.9 lbs (4.5 kg)​

Total - 50.16 lbs (22.8 kg)​

Fujitsubo Exhaust - 28.38 lbs (12.9 kg)​

Fujitsubo Front pipe - 7.26 lbs. (3.3 kg)​

Total - 35.64 lbs. (16.2 kg)​

It always amazes me how lightweight titanium is relative to stainless steel when in your hands. The pieces are just that light.​

• Sound - The sound is what most are probably here for. So, how does it sound? Phenomenal! It's not a loud system and I would characterize it as a mild to moderate tone and volume increase over the OEM system, which is exactly what I was after. Since the exhaust is constructed of titanium with two resonators, the acoustic profile is different than a stainless variant. It's not raspy, boomy, or deep. The sound is "cleaner" and has more of a "tinny" or metallic sound when you get into it. Vibrations (sound) on titanium ring off differently so that tracks. Drone is very limited to non-existant. I can't say the system doesn't drone; however, you'd have to try incredibly hard to find it. A few folks I've spoken to who have this exhaust on the FL5 claim there is no drone. I wouldn't take umbrage with that assessment. In the opening, I mentioned the loop on my initial post is only partially closed because: no videos. It's hard to truly capture sound via video, but I'll get some stock vs. FGK videos up in the coming weeks. Standby.

Installed swift springs and spacers this past weekend!

Apexi exhaust installed and sounds great in person.

This isn't one I've heard, but I like the look! Those outlets look giant.

Just updated my flashpro mini. Downloaded my tune file to my laptop. ECU should be here today, out for delivery now! Super pumped, can't wait to freaking disable the rev hang! I had my 19 SI sitting at 333WHP 340TQ. Have a video attached of me doing a pull merging onto the highway after fixing a sparkplug going bad on me right before a dyno of it. Attached a video of it at the dyno as well below and the dyno sheet pic as well after. My goal is obviously to get this beast meaner then my SI was. I'm going to be doing a video of me doing a merge onto the same highway entrance at some point and will drop that video here as well for everyone's viewing pleasure.
