[Euro] Hondata Update

[ENVSSS]

Hey, just wondering if any of you guys out there that have their car as a test vehicle for the Extreme package to post a sound/video clip of the exhaust on your car?

That's a good question... No way would I fork out all that dough without having some kind of indication of how it sounds under low throttle as well as full throttle. It's such an important aspect of any performance mod. There's nothing worse than a bad-sounding exhaust note.

guys... I've been quietly following this hondata saga for a long time now... and I can honestly say I'm officially confused ! I understand that the extreme reflash will only happen if u have the Jtune products on there.. i.e the whole package... but what about the mild reflash with intake.. can it be any intake that I already have like a K&N typhon or does it have to be the Jtune one... ? sorry if the question has been answered b4 but this thread is too damn long... I may have missed something...

Thanks in advance...

Well word is that you can do that, you know K&N Typhoon and Jtune reflash, but you dont get max gain as you would with a Jtune intake, dunno wat the figure differences are, but thats wat James told me. Im in the same situation as you with the K&N Typhoon intake.

There are only 2 flashes - mild and extreme. The mild flash is for any Euro - stock or modded so you can use your existing intake.

It would be intersting to know if the Jtune and K&N intake are really all that different...
I havent got the K&N yet, but I've heard good things about it and I've been for a drive with someone who has it... so I know what it sounds like.... but if theres gonna be a big performance difference between the 2 intakes then maybe its best to go for Jtune...

Yeah, if you dont have the K&N intake now, may aswell go the Jtune intake as its pricing is sorta similar to other intakes atm. I dont think there will be such a huge difference, just a little one though, but probably not physically noticable me thinks....

The problem with Jtune is when I called up, they said theres 8 weeks wait for an intake to get in, if I order now. I can get a K&N in about 6 days....

Has anyone actualy done the mild refash yet ? I wanted to go in the next 2 weeks and do it... I'm a little worried about being the first thought lol it would be good to get some feed back from someone whos NOT connected to Jtune

the Jtune intake is designed facing forward... so air is actually forced into the intake... unlike others that face down, requiring the air to be sucked in...

only problem is, on the luxury the intake is directly behind a driving light, so facing forward or down would make no difference, no air is gonna get forced in there!

that being the case, i see no noticable difference in the Jtune intake and others available. all brands give slightly different power gains (injen has 3" pipe and loses abit of power low down-k&n uses 2.5")

I've hear about that.... so if I understand this right, they're using the gap in the std model of the fog lights to force air into the intake ? or have I got this wrong ?
if thats the case, how do they stop water getting into the intake when ur driving in rain ?

[EUR003act]

i was thinking the exact same thing myself... if air is getting forced in... wouldnt water? lol

personnally i see no difference in which angle it faces... if youve ever looked behind your driving light (the space where the intake resonator sits) its basically a cocoon... air will be coming in from anywhere and everywhere...

All the above is my situation. I want their intake but didnt know it was delayed...bummer. I dont want to get the flash yet until someone here I know gets it..

I dont reckon there'd be much difference between intakes frankly.
