Here is a first official look at our N1 Exhaust System on the 2022 Civic Si. We wanted to be able to offer an affordable solution for the end consumer, while still being able to provide a unique look and sound. This N1-style system utilizes a single-exit exhaust to keep components, costs and weight down. We also wanted to make sure that this exhaust sounded as it looks, all while eliminating that nasty drone some exhaust systems tend to have. Our engineers paid close attention to tubing lengths, bends, placement and length of mufflers/resonators. All of these factors play a critical roll in exhaust tone and the elimination of drone. After carful consideration, revisions and testing, we have put together an exhaust system that we are ready to showoff. (Please note that the exhaust tip length will change a bit to extend a bit to reduce bumper damage and improve aesthetics).

Here's a first look at what our billet end tanks and intercooler core will look like for the PRL Motorsports TLX-S Intercooler Upgrade. Our team is super happy with the finish on this billet goodness - and yes, the inner profile is just as smooth as the outside to promote smooth airflow. We will be tacking up the intercooler and testing fitment within the next few days, along with our prototype charge piping. If no revisions or adjustments are needed, we will be releasing final pictures, followed by testing data, pricing and pre-orders. Stay tuned!

Here's a sneak peak at our 3D printed, prototype High Volume Intake System for the 2016-2021 10th Gen 2.0L Honda Civic!

In our previous AOS Development Blog Post, we made a big claim that this will be "...one of the most innovative and effective designs in the automotive market yet," but didn't really explain the specifics. Today we're here to dive into why our Patent Pending Helical Air Oil Separator is such a big deal.

As we've been developing products for both 2nd Gen TLX platforms, our team has received a bunch of inquires asking if/when we will have a High Volume Intake System for these vehicles. We wanted to explain our methodology regarding intake system development and explain why we will not be offering a HVI for either of these platforms.

One of the first steps in our product development process is determining the specifics and geometry of existing components in an effort to understand how/why things work. To do so, we disassembled the factory 11th Gen Honda Civic 1.5L Turbocharger to collect measurements and data. Fortunately for us, our team had a factory 10th Gen Civic 1.5L (Si) Turbocharger here to use for a side-by-side comparison. It is important to note that all 1.5L Turbo models for the 11th Gen Civic now use the same turbocharger part number. For those that may have missed it, checkout our Part 1 Blog Post!

Using aluminum investment casting instead of CNC machining will allow us to integrate many of our design's complex features that once required multiple pieces and operations into many fewer components. In turn, this gives us the ability to keep costs down, while also being able to drastically increase production speeds once molds are complete. We will still be using some machining for intricate finishing, such as threads, O-rings and top/bottom end caps. Most importantly, this casting process will allow us to implement one of the most innovative and effective designs in the automotive market yet!
