It has very little rasp. It is loud, but not Honda loud if that makes any sense. I'll try to get a vid up when its not as windy. The vid I have, all you can hear is the wind.

Thumbs up Engine bay shots

It's nothing spectacular, there's not much done I just took my time gathering parts and doing the installs myself. My goal was simply to get better throttle response, added power in the mid-upper power band, and a nice exhaust note. I am in no way trying to race or keep up with EVO's or Sti's Other than that, I also tried to keep the engine bay nice and clean with not too much bling. I'm not planning on polishing my upper plenum or timing cover for those of you who might recommend. Everything on my car basically carries the same theme all around= simple and neat.

______________________________










Engine mods are pretty much done, I'm not looking to print big dyno numbers..... just something to enjoy on weekends or spirited drives. Next up, save up for next years mod= Endless BBK (hopefully).

I prefer the smoke grey w/red "Endless" logo. Anyone know a good vendor that sells Endless here. The only place I know of is Gruppe S.

For sure, I wouldn't have taken my engine cover off without that harness cover. It definitely makes the engine bay look more cleaner.

Did you re-route some of your rubber lines in front of your motor? Is that greddy device a oil catch can? I thought it was only used for fi vehicles.
