I have to press down on the cowling to open the hood with no issues.

yeah i have to do that too when i open up my hood! and i have to tell the mechanics to do the same thing too when i get my car service. kinda annoying!!
but the Gruppe M is worth it. well imo

[kenny07]

Hey mate. Been reading up on your thread. How's the gruppe m? I'm thinking of getting the same intake. Does the car feel more responsive?

i find that the car is a bit more responsive.... i find it better in response if your driving in a like 4/5th gear between 3-4k rpm and you just decide to give it a little...

sounds awesome too!!

You won't feel too much difference until you tune it

What's a good place for a tune?
You would need to purchase a hondata kpro first right?

any tuneable ecu will be ok, I can recommend someone but he does road tunes rather than on the dyno.

[butterfingers]

Doesn't BYP do dyno tunes
Power tune is another one

[kenny07]

so whats the difference between dyno/power/ and road tune?

??

I did notice a tiny little increase in response but its not really much at all and as someone said without a tune it wont make much difference. Although when vtec kicks in its way more pronounced and you do feel a difference there as well.

Yeah prob road tune would what I be looking at as more of a street/weekend car. Probably looking at about $3k all up for tune and ecu? Or am I over estimating?

You would look at about $1400 for a kpro and $800-$1000 for a dyno tune. I would say dyno tuning is the way to go.
