I'm still very happy with how Knight, my FK8, sounds with how you modified the exhaust for me. In my newer UA-cam videos I use it at the start up. Thanks LHT!
@@ScubaSteve119 John and George removed the large resonater and the two mufflers only leaving the center one. It sounds good and is not annoying on the highway with the windows up.
This came up in my feed and when I saw him modding the exhaust I was like oh shit thats the guy who built OG's Beautiful EM1 Civic SI. Anyway love your work and this FL5 is beautiful I love it!! I prefer Pearl Black but boost blue is growing on me! The color matched wing is such a nice lil subtle touch that gives it more accent! 👍
The sound that begin at mark 8:15 is the sound that drives me nut on these cars. It’s like a synthetic robotic hum rather than a deep growl or roar. Surely there is a way to make this new school car sound like an older Honda.
Have to agree with you John, those cars exhausts just don't sound good at all. I'm still in the honeymoon phase with my more or less stock AP1 with a Berk HFC and J's Racing 70mm titanium resonated single-exit exhaust. To keep my neighbors from burying me in the woods I never drive it before 9am or after 10pm but VTEC sure sounds amazing.
2025 fl5 has no updates in addition to japan many European countries have noise regulations that's why even the newest v12 ferrari is quieter than the last one
I have a HF cat, wtock exhaust, I like mine how it is. Just adds a little more noise, but no drone and not obnoxious. Could be 10% louder, but not worth the cost of aftermarket
Always love your videos. These wheels definitely look better in my opinion. That said, would you consider the FL5 a worthy successor of the Honda Type R brand?
I think the biggest way to make it sound better, believe it or not, is to move the placement of the turbo and utilize and external wastegate. Also if someone faced the exhaust manifold back a bit and trried to make a regular header/manifold that would be dope but an extreme amount of work haha
Good video - would you also consider doing the Front Resonator delete with this? And just leave the middle resonator? Would love to hear that as I can see many owners doing those two as a combo.
I want to play with my FL5 exhaust but I'm still traumatized by putting a Magnaflow fart can on my 97 ex. It was sooo loud. lol 😅 (Apexi World sport2 was great though.. until it fell apart).
@@LHTPerformance Sorry I meant I had a new exhaust design and was wondering if I can send you the clips of it. I need someone to help me build a nice one or a partnership.

@doyoupylon What did you have done to your exhaust? Checked out your videos. Sounds great

Next episode we’ll see the type R sold on a trailer lol.
“Got bored. Sold it for a GR Corolla.”
😂😂
😄 exactly my thoughts when listening to the summary!
No to the GR Corolla
@@LHTPerformance you’re missing out. My friend is killing it at SCCA national events this year :-).
Wow what a difference changing the spoilers color to blue made. Looks way more in sync with the design.
Love the car and the new sound.thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Nicest exhaust I’ve heard thus far on FL5
completely agree about the sound, try removing front small resonator, I think Integra type S doesn't come with it.
We tried that too.

Lol.
Sounds like it’s going up for sale😉
Nice work! I anticipate the FL5 face lift will have the improved exhaust note of the Integra Type S.
Probably not. They’re made in Japan and meet their strict sound regulation as opposed to the type s which is made in America.

This looks like a really nice exhaust, and it sounds great, but 3k for an exhaust?! Do you guys have any dyno results, does it give any extra hp/tq?
There’s no real HP increase from the exhaust and not a massive weight saving. I think it made 9-10whp on an otherwise stock car.
Always love your videos. These wheels definitely look better in my opinion.
That said, would you consider the FL5 a worthy successor of the Honda Type R brand?
I’m still a little old school. I don’t anything comes close after the ITR
John, there's always sleeper mode: Super quiet but extremely fast☺Think of a big Roller on the M1...
Sounds way better now.
You should remove one of the two resonators further up, like they did for Integra Type-S
Yep
do LHT sell or recommend the buffer and the polishing compound, and perhaps the polish.
I think the biggest way to make it sound better, believe it or not, is to move the placement of the turbo and utilize and external wastegate. Also if someone faced the exhaust manifold back a bit and trried to make a regular header/manifold that would be dope but an extreme amount of work haha
hello good morning , what would happen if you made that middle pipe bigger ?
I think a high flow cat would improve the sound some more
Will the tips turn purple as it’s titanium?
what do you think of the Type S sound?
So is it for sale still if I drive there and have you install it?
Definitely sick

Watch tomorrow’s video 😉
@@LHTPerformanceawesome, looking forward to it!
sounds clean but it prob could be a tad louder
brilliant 👏

I predict you will be selling this car in a matter of weeks/months.
days/weeks 😂
Around the same time you sell your s2k probably 😂
@@483SGT Hahaha. Hopefully I’ll keep it a while this time. I can’t get away from them!
Already sold 😂
@@L0rdn1k0N I love cars, but I don’t marry them 😉
it vtec's from the wrong end now
for a car like this you'd expect a better stock rear caliper.
I sent you a message on your actual website. It’s regarding a new exhaust design. I need some help
We sold the car. There won’t be a new exhaust design
@@LHTPerformance Sorry I meant I had a new exhaust design and was wondering if I can send you the clips of it. I need someone to help me build a nice one or a partnership.
@@DeezVideoPictures sure. We’ll take a look.
The more I see the FL5 CTR, the more I realize how overpriced it is…
Delete all the suitcases... Junk.
