These are great to add a more premium feel, especially if you like that OEM+ feel and look, but be wary that they will eventually wear out and need replacement, of which the hood stick doesn’t really have a problem with long term usage. Also they bounce when you let go of the hood as u open it up, because of how much force they have pushing against it, so be wary of that.
So, with full bolt ons including catted TSP DP, kuro turbo, complete 3" exhaust, I D intake, PWR intercooler with pipeing, and of course Hondata with custom tune, the final #'s are 379/386 on a hub dyno. No fuel upgrades. Am I happy? You bet I am! A different dyno or tuner could deliver more or less.
This part arrived in excellent condition! Packaging was great and I am pleased with the quality of the downpipe.
I have no real-world numbers to offer, but I decided to upgrade from the OEM intercooler as I'm planning on doing a fair amount of track days with my FL5. Quality is flawless. It's a piece of art. One thing I noticed about this IC is it is very heavy. Much heavier than stock, so there are no weight savings to be had, but hopefully the heat dissipation efficiency improvement makes up for it.
