Product R&D

You may notice that the visual design of our catch can looks much different than it did in the previous blog post. This is because we have decided to switch manufacturing techniques to help expedite the production timeline and allow us to bring more production in-house. We redesigned the canister body to be billet 6061 aluminum, as well as accept a separate billet helix center section with an integrated spiral baffle plate. This design change, however, wasn’t just to offer more billet bling (although it does that pretty effectively now), the functionality has also been improved. Due to the divorced helix, as opposed to integrated with the previous design, we will have clearance between the edge of the helix and the interior walls of the can. This means that excess oil vapor, in addition to collecting on and running down the helix, now has the ability to sling outwards, collect on the walls, and drip down to the baffle plate. This maximizes the amount of oil separated from the intake air. We also added some slick external helical profiling and knurling on the out side of the can for aesthetics and function.

N1 Exhaust System Fitment has been confirmed on the 2022+ 11th Gen Honda Civic 2.0L. Checkout our social media for a teaser sound clip. We'll be posting an 11th Gen Civic Si 1.5T teaser clip soon as well.

Over the years we've received many requests for CR-V and RDX parts. Though we've seen quite a few retrofitted installs, we feel that the communities deserve better. We are committing our full attention to developing 100% direct fitment, premium performance upgrades for the 2017+ Honda CR-V 1.5L Turbo, 2019+ Acura RDX 2.0L Turbo, 2022+ Acura MDX Type-S and 2017+ Honda Ridgeline 3.5L.

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).

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.
