QUOTE(SackBoy @ Aug 19 2016, 10:11 AM) He meant the exhaust tip. But would really like to know what is the reason for honda to hide the exhaust. My thoughts.. Save money la.. no need end tips or even the xtra bit of metal.. but it does boggle the mind since for the turbo, it ends with not one but 2 exos.. I mean we are talking - some even fabricate fake ones n some even go further to add a 'smoking' 2nd exos [from the single muffler - l know, l have done it before..  ] n here got a spanking originally designed one and they hide it..

QUOTE(wkc5657 @ Aug 19 2016, 11:47 AM) Point 1 to 4 applicable to all cars as long as there's engine oil in it. 2nd half part of point 2 is not applicable to our climate, even our normal cold mornings are considered "warm" in terms of the operating climate range. Our climate will not cause the engine oil to be thick and gloopy. Only climates below 10C need to take note of this. For point 4, just avoid those unknown brand la....if really unsure of the various brands, just go for those brands that also sell petrol or those that the SC recommends. For japanese cars, the engines are not so picky unlike those from continental brands. Point 6 is really stupid, who does that before turning off their cars??Ya, Its stupid.. but times when cars were run by carburetors - apparently this helps in 'starting' the car the next time you use it.. I believe tis is a myth also but a lot of old school minded people beleive it.. It dont apply with the new EFI cars anymore..

Interesting read :
Remember the Cheat Device on Volkswagen Cars in America ..
Editted to add :
Cut and paste -
From Paul tan org :
Harley-Davidson fined USD 12m for emissions devices
America’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Harley-Davidson (H-D) has entered an agreement with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to pay a USD 12 million (RM48.1 million) fine for selling “super tuner” devices that bypass emissions controls.
Under the terms of the agreement, aside from the fine, H-D has to put USD 3 million (RM12 million) in a non-motorcycle related project to reduce air pollution. H-D sold approximately 340,000 super tuner devices under its “Screamin’ Eagle” brand at a cost of between USD 250 to 450 (RM1,000 to RM1,800) since 2008.
The super tuner is a small box that is connected to the motorcycle’s ECU to increase power and performance and the EPA says bypasses emissions and noise controls. In a statement reported by Reuters, H-D is to stop selling the super tuners by 23 August, and buy-back and destroy all dealer stock of the super tuners.
Warranty claims from owners of motorcycles in the US using such devices must also be denied by H-D, said the statement. A H-D spokesperson said no details on inventory or cost of buying back the super tuner devices were immediately available.
“This settlement immediately stops the sale of illegal after-market defeat devices used on public roads that threaten the air we breathe,” said Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. H-D said in a separate statement that it sold the super tuner devices under a regulation that allowed the sale of such devices for competition use.

I know you guys dont want to hear tis.. But interpretation of warranty is nothing other than from HM can be added or taken out .. tats the fine print .. of course its up to the interpretation of the SC guys when you wanna claim warranty.. So if you value warranty then dont add/mod.. BTW plug n play just means it is easier to 'bring it back to ori' but technically its still modding..

Personally,
I would be more afraid that it would get worse.. As at present, of course, its no harm trying to claim for a new wheel [ or at least a new leather wrapping but l think they'll just change the whole wheel ] but yes.. l am afraid they'll say it's owner inflicted and deny you the claim.. Bad luck..

QUOTE(jack bauer @ Aug 24 2016, 01:26 PM) actually the problem is really happening and I assumed the owner's car awaiting repair by the appointed SC. I'm not sure which case the thread is referring to but there is one case shared in Facebook space yesterday. Anyway, haters are really waiting for this kind of unfortunate event isn't it? Haters will always be haters.. Even if events like this dont happen, theyll still support other makes/models - actually .. to me its their right to choose.. but what l dont like is why need to bash.. if you don't like, l understand but why hate.. there already is so much of it everywhere.. O well, it takes many views to make the world, doesn't it...
