I had UEL headers and a protune on for a long time. I loved it, felt like the car booked and sounded good doing so.
I had the recall done, blown engine, etc. Went back to completely stock including the tune - car felt just as fast and I enjoyed it even more. If you do not go forced induction, I wouldn't try squeezing every little bit of power out. Just do what you want for sound and enjoy the car otherwise. I definitely recommend a tune no matter what though, that's where you'll see the most benefit. |

It's not. That's not what placebo means.
You're thinking of confirmation bias, which is superficially similar to placebo but isn't the same thing. Like I said above, we don't have confirmation bias either, because we accept the reality of the situation. |

I don't care for the intake noise from the FA20. I was more than happy to plug the cabin intake noise port and enjoy the sound from the exhaust instead. |

There is still a shitload of people that will not accept for one second that their catback exhaust didn't make the car faster, more responsive, have better low end/high end/mid range torque no matter what evidence is put in front of them. They indeed have confirmation bias going on.

I got an axleback because I like the sound. I was informed quickly that I missed out on much powers.

The 2017+ engines have a smoother sound than the older ones.

That's where I'm at right now. Stock exhaust on my S2K is... quiet. I need to attend some meets this summer and try to hear some exhausts in person. I generally like anything that comes out of Tomei, but the drone on this car is similar to e-bay brands... I want to be able to hear a difference from the cockpit, which is pretty isolated compared to the exterior. But, since it's a summer car, maybe I can write off the drone and just deal with it since, I'm the only one driving most 99% of the time. |

Header & tune, you'll feel for 5 mins.....
I installed a Gruppe-S UEL with OFT. After 5 mins of driving, then I could not feel it anymore. I also have a Yonaka catback & K&N filter. I like the sound. Horrible drone at 1,000rpm, just on statup. About 1200$ CDN, so after this week in markets, about 500$ US. Actually, I don't like the sound, I love it! |
