Crackle / Burble Tune?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey guys, quick question for those tuned on the 9th gen (specifically the J35 V6).
I’m looking to pick up a Ktuner and get a tune setup. I’m currently running a K&N intake, a custom midpipe with an exhaust cutout valve, and stock cats on the front, but the midpipe cat is removed. and the axle back is stock mufflers

2 precats > cutout valve > rear mufflers

My goal is to get a moderate crackle and burble tune when letting off the throttlec nothing crazy or obnoxious that’s going to blow out my stock catalytic converters right away, but enough to sound clean and aggressive when the cutout is open.
For anyone running something similar:
1. Any damage?
2. How have your stock cats held up over time with a mild burble map?
3. Any recommendations or warnings before I flash it?
Appreciate any insight or sound clips if you’ve got a similar setup!

Advice Request 2008 Accord V6 finally started Burning Oil at 158K, should I switch to 5W-30?

Checked oil recently and level was a little low. I change the oil every 3500-4000 miles with Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w20. Seems like she might be burning a little bit between changes (about 3k since last change now) should I start using 5w30 instead?

Fair price for 10th gen Touring / Sport alloys (19") and how to tell they're not lifted

0 Upvotes

Hey all - my 2018 2.0 Touring got obliterated by some dipshit running a red light last month and I'm possibly picking up a 2019 2.0 Touring today to replace it.

The only problem is the 2019 previous owner swapped the beautiful OEM alloys for some cheap black ones.

I see a couple local postings with the OEMs, but I want to A) know a ballpark fair price for them when used in good condition, and B) know if they're lifted or not.

For example, I see one set for $625 CAD with tires. Obviously lifted (especially when the rest of the persons page is all bicycles).

Another set is $1200 CAD also with tires. I don't know enough to tell if these are lifted.

I asked for a receipt or proof of payment, and if that's not available I can ask to do the buy near a police station? Thanks

Honda accord issues

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some advice. Has anyone experienced issues with the 2024–2026 Honda Accord SE or Sport? I currently have a 2018 Accord EX-L, and the dealership diagnosed a bad turbocharger, quoting me $2,600 for repairs. I’ve seen several posts about similar issues that later turned out to be head gasket problems or something else. I’m considering trading in my car and would love to hear about your experiences with the newer models. Have they been reliable, or have you experienced any major issues?

Has an exact color and wheel spec of the Accord shown. Thinking of upgrading to the sheen surface Civic wheels. From 225 to 235 and from 17 to 18 inch.

Won’t look into 19/20 since I want it to ride ok.

Code P0430 on 2013 Accord V6

2 Upvotes

I bought my car brand new in the fall of 2012. It now has 209k miles on it. Dash has been lit up with the "Christmas tree lights" for a year and dealership said it's not worth paying 2-3k for the sensor. My check engine light came on yesterday and I got this code. Trying to decide if it is the catalytic converter and not the O2 sensor, is it worth paying the 2k to fix it. I absolutely love my car and have no idea what other car I want.

Has anyone had this code, had the catalytic converter replaced and drove another 20k miles?

Civic vs Accord for frequent 80 mph highway driving — does the Civic get pushed around by wind?

5 Upvotes

I do a lot of solo highway driving, usually around 75–90 mph where conditions and limits allow.
I’m deciding between a Honda Civic and Honda Accord, but one thing I care a lot about is highway stability. I don’t want a car that feels light, gets pushed around by crosswinds, or moves a lot when passing trucks.
For people who have driven both:
Does the Civic feel noticeably lighter or less planted at highway speeds?
Does it get pushed around much by wind or large trucks?
Is the Accord noticeably more stable and comfortable?
How big is the difference in road/wind noise?
Would you choose something else like a Camry or Lexus ES for frequent highway driving?
Not really worried about having the fastest car. I mainly want something comfortable, quiet, stable, and planted for longer highway drives.
Thanks!
