Just picked up an 11th gen Si and really digging all your content. Best 11th gen channel imo, keep up the great work!

Do you reccomend the charge pipes and high outlet. If i ordered the PRL intercooler? How do they aid the car?

[@lui.racing]

@@thecivic215 you don’t necessarily need them. It would be good if you plan on doing bigger turbo. The charge pipes will just add reliability and more volume along with the high volume outlet. On top of the provision to add meth injection in the future

If you ever get tired of the drone knowing it’s the daily, I recommend buying and welding or getting a small Helmholtz resonator welded right before rear mufflers to keep drone to a minimum! This thing sounds good though dude

[@andrewbyram9598]

Hey man. I feel like you said in this video or others, you have a PRL downpipe, and a PRL front pipe, so this 27won exhaust was from the front pipe back. Is that correct? I also have a PRL down and front pipe....just order my 27won exhaust today!!!! Question - is it straight bolt on/matches up? Just asking because the PRL front pipe is 3inches and 27won is 2.5 inch exhaust. Any issues matching the PRL front to the 27won exhaust? If i need to order other parts, I would like to do it asap before they are out of stock. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND KNOWLEDGE

Nice POV on the sound! I've been looking for videos to determine if I should get a new exhaust on my civic as well haha

This one sounds really good. It does have some slight alignment issues though. One side sticks out further than the other side. Aside from that it’s a great sounding exhaust

[@dirtyjersey]

Few questions: 1: does it bolt right on to the PRL frontpipe? 2: since some time has passed since you installed these pipes, would you recommend them? 3: any issues using untuned?

[@lui.racing]

It does bolt on to the PRL front pipe, I have it installed. I do love this exhaust and the sound, but I’ve been going back and forth with 27WON with one tip sticking out more than the other side. I didn’t notice it until after I made this video. More than likely I will be requesting a new side with a shorter length so they can match. With that being said, before you buy it I would contact them and see if this will continue to be an issue with future exhaust. There is no issues running this without a tune

[@emiliom250]

Sounds awesome bro !!!

[@lui.racing]

Thanks bro! Appreciate you!

[@peterbruno2723]

What's up brotha hope all is good. Quick question since prl intake going live next week pre-order, wanted to ask you think it's faster than the cobra? I know you said quieter which kinda sucks cause the cobra is nice sound but what would you say is quicker..I have the race maf BTW..let me know your opinion is greatly noted..thanks

[@lui.racing]

I wouldn’t say one is quicker than the other, the car just hasn’t been pushed to the limit just yet to be able to get a real reading on which intake would make the biggest difference. Since you have the race MAF you would most definitely need a tune for that so you would see better benefit out of it than buying the new High Volume one that you can just bolt on and not have to worry about tuning. In my opinion, it just comes down to what you want. Do you want more sound or the cleaner look of the new High Volume intake? I personally don’t think you’d see enough of a difference between the two if you tuned the car with either, but you do have a RACE MAF so that might make a difference down the road if you decide to get a bigger turbo. Sorry this is all quite vague but I just didn’t notice a huge difference between the two. I personally like the way the new one looks in the engine bay

[@ashleyl1757]

I have the 11th gen civic sport. Do you think it’ll fit? If not can I have a link to the right one please

[@lui.racing]

You’ll probably have to get with 27Won and see what would need to happen, I’m sure you can make it fit but not too certain. I think it’s all the same across the trims, but doesn’t hurt to check with them.

[@tarufeti3921]

hi, do you recommend this exhaust for daily? because I drive my si a lot

[@lui.racing]

I do, it’s a good exhaust and I think they fixed the issue with one side being longer than the other. Watch my most recent upload if you don’t know what I’m referring to

How bad is the drone with exhaust and downpipe?

[@lui.racing]

Not that bad. Some days more noticeable than others if I don’t have music playing lol

[@ds-yu4dh]

Is it worth the trouble to install the 27won downpipe on its own and leave the rest stock?

[@lui.racing]

I had the PRL downpipe on by itself for a while and my exhaust sounded fine. The issue with the 27Won downpipe is that it’ll give you a check engine light and you’ll need Hondata or Ktuner to disable the light. But I have a down pipe install video too. It’s not too hard of an install. But to answer your question better lol a down pipe is one of the best upgrades for these cars. It will give you a lot more turbo response. Even if it’s by itself.

[@supabreeda6668]

I’m I’m to install the park down pipe by itself to the existing factory exhaust would I require a tune for that?

[@kennethschoen7796]

Why would 3 inch automatically be louder or have more drone or rasp?

[@lui.racing]

Because it’s larger, inherently that makes 3” exhaust louder than 2.5”. Thus explains why most manufacturers don’t come with 3” exhaust to be more conservative with how much noise is produced. Either that or they’ll have a valves exhaust that opens up to make the car louder in a given mode.

[@peterbruno2723]

Yoo lui also wanted to ask you, can you play with the tips during installation?? So you don't run into that problem when your done..let me know I guess that's the only thing I need to know as you were right. The remark having the big tips mixed in with 3inch piping and no mufflers turned into a sad disaster. Let me know feedback thanks man.

[@rafz9289]

@Peter Bruno sad disaster? meaning too loud, drony?

[@lui.racing]

The drone isn’t terrible on this exhaust after running it for some time now. Not sure what you mean by play with the tips. You mean like change them out for a different set? I wouldn’t do that if that’s what you’re asking. I really like the sound of the exhaust. The drone isn’t bad anymore now that I’ve driven it for some time

[@yourfallenangle]

Did you unplug the "fake engine/exhaust sound" module from behind the dash?

[@lui.racing]

No as far as I know it only comes on in sport mode. Besides this exhaust is a lot louder inside the car than the stock. So everything you hear is all 27Won exhaust

[@yourfallenangle]

@@lui.racing it sounds incredible! Would you say it's worth it considering the noise difference, does it get to be "to much" at all?

[@lui.racing]

@@yourfallenangle I’d say it’s worth it. The sound isn’t too overbearing

[@joshcastillo6535]

Fake engine sound?

[@ziggyz8345]

i read the 11th gen si exhaust is specifically made for that car, you probably wont have any gains cause prl i think did a test on the 10th gen stock exhaust and compared to other and found they all do the same thing and give minimal gains in power, in other words the stock exhaust is usually the best system unless youre going for sound which i assume you are, i have a glasspack on my 10th gen with the stock resonator and stock front and down pipe and its exactly as loud as i wanted it to be, silent at idle and low rpm but when you get on it.... it gets loud, i used to have a semi straight piped ( cat on because emissions ) 02 civic EX and that thing was just loud

[@lui.racing]

Yeah I’m not going for power at all. Typically, Exhaust don’t produce any additional power below the 500hp marker, only when you’re making big boost/power is when you’ll see some benefit to a bigger exhaust system. This is strictly sound and looks for me

[@Rizzzy870]

I’m been trying to find a exhaust system for my 2.0 11thgen but I want it dual you guys have any suggestions

[@lui.racing]

I’m not too sure if the exhaust on the 2.0 is the same from the front pipe back. If it is the same then you could probably get the 27Won and be fine. I’m not certain how it’s setup/looks like under the 2.0’s so I can’t tell you for certain. You just have to come to the 1.5t community my dude haha it’s fun over here

[@UnrelatedNonsense]

Going to wait for the PRL N1 system since it has a resonator. Should help with the excessive drone

[@lui.racing]

I hope they make a dual tip version as well

[@UnrelatedNonsense]

@@lui.racing I kinda do as well, but with it being a 3” system having dual tips just adds extra weight

[@beagleblvd]

Might sound dumb, but am I able to do this with a 2022 sport?

[@lui.racing]

I’m not too sure. If it’s already dual top then I wouldn’t see why you couldn’t. If it’s not dual tip already then you’d have get rubber hangers from Honda for whatever side doesn’t have if.

I tried to see if I could tap it enough to make it move but idk what was going on. And then one day it just stopped 😂 I was like wtf 😑😂

[@peterbruno2723]

For everyone out there. I have the remark on my si. First I had the prl downpipe/frontpipe with it and it was loud. Sad to say it sounded awful actually. Straight up like a trumpet as it gets louder. Then 2 days ago I said let me try my 27won downpipe with it and switched. I kinda knew what would happen but I did it anyway and again stupid trumpet. I would not waste money on the remark. It's made wrong for our cars to get that crisp badass sound. It ruined it. I'm putting my stock back on a.s.a.p!! Going to honda get the flange and bolts in morning. With the 27won well I was going to wait and buy that but I was any. I know Lui we talked before many times and I know you know your stuff. So I would say this it sucks that supposedly after all this research the 27won has the tip sticking out..come on that's like a cheap exhaust situation..not at 1200 dollar one. BUT I might still buy it on the second round batch. With it being 2.5 inch with the mufflers it seems to get loud but not trumpet loud. I made an awful mistake. Don't buy the remark I'm telling you it sounds like a cheap toy.

[@lui.racing]

My man! Thank you for all that insight with your experience with the Remark exhaust. I’m still working with 27Won and they are working with me on getting the issue fixed with their exhaust.

Awhile back I met the owner of the company and for awhile it seemed like things weren't working out well for them with emission ordeal in Cali but they finally had full production range come out for all civic types so far.
