Performance part comparison

FL5 Type R Intake vs 27WON Valved Exhaust

Two FL5 upgrades target opposite ends of the airflow path and very different budgets.

CURRENT VERDICT

Mishimoto FL5/DE5 Performance Air Intake

The Mishimoto intake is the lower-cost first modification and supports both Type R and Type S fitment. The 27WON system is the stronger choice when exhaust character and valve control are the main goal.
