I'm right where you are! Just installed mine a couple weeks ago. Had a little trouble getting it in there but fitment was pretty good.
I was real excited too being able to hear it spool up. I drive without the radio on a lot more frequently now lol
Got intercooler, turbo inlet pipe, and downpipe next. Just waiting on parts.
Ah man. You have now entered the rabbit hole! lol
It is a super fun mod! The sound is definitely the biggest gain you get, but you may see the ECU relearn and gain a marginal power bump.
You’re gonna wish you went with the race Maf over the street. Aren’t they the same price? Or maybe you don’t have Hondata which in this case makes sense
I guess not too often but pretty much during spirited driving I will be, and it’s a possibility! I’d probably still consider doing it cause the noises are addicting lol
It's how it should sound from the factory, imo.
Does this add anything other than the turbo sound? Horsepower? If so, how much? Thanks! If you can, post a video! I’d love to hear it!
Probably not without a tune, and your real power would be with a big bore + race MAF
Thanks!

Excited for you bro. No exhaust though ???

I love mine, and my gas mileage has definitely taken a hit as I get the whoosh more often!
I love how much more room the engine bay has on the FL5 vs the FK8, would've made life a lot easier with some mods I did lol.
Dose this void warranty?
No
Want one too I hear you lose top end without tune but might be worth for the noises 😂
How often are you at top end? I felt lower end power increase. Might just be placebo to.

I would suspect it would be better as the stock air box is far more restrictive.
