Hey Guys!! Just wanted to start a thread on what mods people have done to their DC5 Type R's and Type S's. Just a quick review on what modifications you have in your DC5 Integra and what everyone's opinions are on them. Hope this can become our DC5 bible on OZHONDA!
Here, ill start first!!
Car: 2006 Integra Type S
Vtec Engagement Window: 5800rpm - 8500rpm
MOD1: HPS Short Ram Intake
Country of Origin: USA
Approx Price: 250 AUD (posted)
Pro's: Reasonable price for an off the shelf SRI.
Really brings out the i-Vtec crossover you get with the B-series engines.
Slight power gains in vtec zone.
Better throttle response.
Con's: Heat Soak (same issue with all SRI's).
Slightly flimsy feeling, the bolt that holds the pipe to the engine is not quite perfect, so had
to do some slight changes to get it fixed on properly.
MOD2: Fusion Headunit (internal iPod docking)
Country of origin: New Zealand
Price: 99 AUD from Repco on special (RRP$299)
Pro's: Very convenient.
Great iPod User Interface on Headunit.
Charges iPod while playing.
Sounds Great!
Con's: Havent found any yet, will update if i find out.
MOD3: Genuine MUGEN cat-back exhaust system
Country of origin: Japan
Approximate Price: 1800 AUD (brand new)
Pro's: Not too loud.
Nice drone, acceptable but not annoying.
Increased mid end power and torque.
Cops dont even notice i have an aftermarket exhaust system on my car
Silent when you're just commuting, Loud when you're racing!
Perfect fit, no dramas at all.
Con's: Not much notable gains in VTEC zone.
Not quite as loud as other systems (e.g. Fujitsubo RM-01A), noticed that the SRI + Engine noise
was still overwhelming the sound of the exhaust.
Stock is 2" piping, Mugen is 2.15"
Hope this thread will help give all DC5 owners a slight idea of the variety of brands for our car around the world. And also a rough idea of what they will be expecting from different brands and products.
Have a great day!
DC5-S
