Man I love how much things you’ve done to your car compared to stock! And Honda’s are so reliable when it comes to all there vehicles including their off-road atvs or 4 wheelers! keep up the good work ryan🔥
Thanks dude! Appreciate all the support!
Thank god, finally a EX CVT
Not many in depth vids on TH-cam sadly
@ryansneaks Hey i just wanna ask, im gettin this car in like a week. Is the car worth every penny? Is it fun to drive? as in fast but not that fast?
vinz Vv I've had it for two years stock. Haven't modded it at all. Love the car it's fun to drive and yeah it's decently fast for a reliable and convenient car
I love mine. These are some great mods
same i got mine 3 weeks ago where can i find the exhaust tips u got?
I got the EX too. thanks for the links
Finally! An EX as a guide!
Thanks for the honest review.
Thanks for watching!
Very well put together video.
I've watched your video a couple times as i love your car man
That arm rest piece at the end instantly made this is funniest car video I think I've ever seen out of many
Finally!!! Honda Civic Hatchback Ex video!!!
Did you replace the stock intake to PRL intake fully?
The rock chips are blowing me man lol
Love the car video, I have a 2018 civic hatchback sport manual and I have also experienced fade of the arm rest, I’m gonna clean it once and buy some fake leather off of Amazon to protect it and spice up the car a bit, thanks for ur video!
Dig that Star Wars look!
Do the shift paddles is actually very fun to drive it like that...the sounds are awsome with a new exhaust and cold air intake. Next is the blow off valve
How about a set of the leather or pcu covers for the console and arm rests.
I have the 2021 and dont like the fabric on mine already..
Loving the Han Solo Dice :D
What’s up man! What kind of tune do you have and how’s it holding up?
Saving the video & checking out the honda hacks later. You car is nice man I have the same model & I’m looking for upgrades for it. I’m thinking of starting with a cold air intake & k tuner but don’t know what I’m looking for in brands & stuff. I was worried automatics couldn’t be upgraded but I guess they can, btw I don’t know much about cars. Anyways sick video & maybe I’ll make one as well once I get it looking nice. 👌
Look forward to seeing that video!
I just got a 2021 civic sport hatch with 16 miles. First owner coming from a 13 maxima with 115k miles lets just say its a huge upgrade
I just got a 2021 civic sport with 8 miles two days ago! Congrats 🎉
@@armandogarcia7639 it's worth every penny bro.
I never knew about the auto kit for wireless car play. Imma check that out.
Thinking getting one bet hatchback EX like yours or sport touring. The sport touring feels like “too fancy on the road” . What are your thoughts?
Looks good. I have a white 19 Hatch EX. Purchased it 9/2019 and only have 8500 miles on so far (you know, covid) and the chipping and staining just from in town driving is ridiculous, beyond acceptable really.
Yea but, ...did you DRIVE it though 🤔???
I have the 21 sport touring hatch with 17k miles and my paint is great u must be flooring it thru rocks😂
@@GBrad18 Nope, in town driving with 17k on it now. Paint still is weak. The first time I washed it, 3 days after I got it, the paint came off the back hatch where the emblem is, dealer had to replace it. Shotty paint job.
@@Dawnnie473 were you washing with a microfiber towel?
Love this car
Okay, so the tune is cool. That's the only mod.
A CVT will hold against some major mods, and a tune with stock parts will help make it feel fun.
BUT...
If you're serious about making power, a real cold air intake, the kind that goes under the car, is a better option. It won't add much power, but better air flow is better air flow. And anything in your engine bay that sucks air is only hurting your power.
A PRL downpipe will help.
A blow off valve adapter paired with a HKS or equivalent BOV is good.
A performance intercooler, because the stock one gets super heat soaked.
A big turbo kit from PRL will bring it round, and getting a Ktuner (V1 or V2) will be needed.
Then get a real tune.
Idk, not a fan of exterior stuff. Car looks mostly fine stock.
Maybe lowering springs? Coilovers could help but anything you do suspension wise is gonna need extra hardware to eliminate heavy camber and such.
Cool video though, glad you're enjoying your cosmetic stuff. Doesn't look insanely flashy!
Nice car, getting one soon 🥵
Good video!
Thank you!
I’ve have a 2017 Civic Hatchback EX (not sport, like bare bones base model) and I can answer modding questions and how the car acts when modded. I currently have: 3”catless downpipe, 3”front pipe (stock exhaust), afe CAI, Boomba throttle body spacer, Hondata with a Flex Fuel Tune, Siri Moro Front Strut Bar, and a Boomba engine mount!
It’s been tuned for over 35,000 miles and has had Flex Fuel on it for over 5,000 miles. It currently has 71,000 miles on the vehicle. I do find myself having to drive it a particular way when spirited driving is occurring.
I Genuinely want to find the limits of the CVT and try to find new products that will increase the durability of the cvt
@Certified G I have no clue on the “stage” but the tune is a basemap flex fuel tune
@Certified G thanks for the info! I’ll check it out!
@Certified G well Hondata doesn’t have “stages” listed on their basemap tunes. So how would I know what “stage” I’m using? I’ve seen people say “I have a stage 2 KTuner” but to me that’s the dummest way of classifying parts or whatever. And hey just because I don’t know what dumb “stage” I’m using doesn’t mean I can’t offer helpful information about how the CVT drives after thousands of miles and certain jitters and snags it runs into.
Where'd you get that little red piece under your rear bumper next to your tips? Im doing the same thing as you, but I can't find that product anywhere.
3:49 “The lips side skirt and diffuser”
I own the 2019 Hatch EX and do agree the paint that Honda uses sucks. I got small paint chips on mines and I had to put some type of protection in there. Also I tried to find one in a manual but the dealer where I got mines didn’t have them. I installed LEDs on my headlights and fog lights and planning to do the air intake swap next with the Ktuner or throw a under lip spoiler what HFP has and tint the windows
"Rock chips"
Theres a protective film you can have put on the front of your vehicle, really thin, clear, protects from chips and such
Yup. Found that out too late 🥴
You should do square tips on your exhaust would look sick!
I just got called a poser the other day for putting a type R badge on my ex-t. Lol looks great on the hatchback man!
Haters gonna hate head up 👍🏽
That’s why I didn’t put a wing on my HB. Instead went with the duckbill.
Daamnnnn this is so cool
I honestly am pretty bored driving this thing so I wanna get some inspiration to begin getting my hands dirty with something mechanical. Hoping to buy some parts soon. No better way to learn than hands on.
hi sir... may i know what is the max cvt & coolant temperature that u ever reach during the spirit driving? thanks...
We EX CVT folks need to stick together, ha! I got mine new back when it launched in 2017, and love the heck out of it.
I actually used a manual when learning to drive, but I’ve always opted for automatics for my daily drivers. MT definitely becomes second nature, but it’s still one more thing your brain has to focus on. Uphill starts also suck. 😆
Anyway, I’m looking to get a KTuner 1.2 for it, holding off until my next paycheck ha. My concern though is the CVT… I’ve heard talk that it’s fragile and custom tunes can easily push it beyond its mechanical limits. 😕
jSyndeo Music Any engine should be able to put a little bit more torque without any issues. Manufacturers will always play it safe and not over torque anything. I’ve had mine tuned for a few months now with no issues and I usually keep it on the highest setting for psi and torque. I’d say if you were responsible enough to not overdo it you should be good!
Its just rumours started by people who have never driven or tried to tune a cvt. The cvts handle the tunes very well and out perform manuals in alot of ways. Infact most of the time you hear about issues with tuning etc its with the SI’s.
@@tylerb4994 Yeah, to update, I did get a KTuner a bit after that comment. I got it from Two Step Performance so that I’d get TSP Stage 1 along with it. I usually leave it in mode 1, but sometimes I bump it up to 2 for some extra power. It’s lots of fun! I’m a bit wary of going into 3 though… now that I think it’ll cause some sudden failure, but because I don’t want to get used to it and want more. I like always knowing that there is a little bit more power available than what I’m using. (As well as not having as much wear!)
@@tylerb4994 Finally some who knows what they are talking about!
Fellow ex cvt owner🤝
Clean ass civic my g 🔥🔥🔥💯👌
Bro, Nice to see ur good video! And can you give me the link for the exhaust? TY!
It’s a muffler delete. Just have to go to a muffler shop and ask for one
@@Ryansneaks Okay, thanks bro!
Please where did you get that power converter from? And what is your experience with it? Thanks
Finally found a hatch non sport with mud guards... do you know the pet number by any chance?
Here you go. Just make sure u put in your year and model and it should match to these 08P00-TGG-100A
yr car lit, man .. just wanna know where u get those side skirt and diffuser ,those look perfect to me cos i have been looking them up on eBay for days but most of them look too extensive... pls let me know ..
What engine oil and viscosity do you use?
I’m lookin to get a civic 1.5t cvt, I don’t really wanna daily a manual so I’m not interested in the si, but I’m just lookin at other 10th gen civics on the internet and see what ppl done with them:)
You can push this car with the CVT to 300whp and 260ish with 27won turbo just saying and it'll stay be reliable
Christian Wong naw hondata says the Cvt starts to strip around 250wtq. Look it up
Go with the SI. I came from a 2017 lx cvt and my god I’ve never looked back. The si is significantly better in terms of performance and daily driveability is so smooth even with full bolt ons and a tune.
Nicolas Mourra yea lol I’m actually going with an si coupe a 2020 brand new one for $23k lol. Hella dealer discounts
JasonSmallz I got a 2020 si sedan and it’s amazing you really won’t regret it
Hello, I also have a cvt but mine doesn't have the "L", what is that? Also, do you have the paddle shifters?
your build is awesome, i recently bought a 2017 LX hatchback and want to do mods myself but i am unsure where to start, i want more fun when driving as well as performance. any tips??
I’d suggest starting with KTUNER and going from there. If i could start over again I’d go that way.
Ryansneaks How is the ktuner doing on your CVT? any underlying problems with using a tune on a daily driver?
Adrian Morales no issues at all! Been very good just make sure to keep up maintenance
Hey man great video! Have you had any issues from the dealership in regards to warranty
I haven’t been back to the dealer since purchase so i really can’t answer that question
I have taken my 2017 to the dealer 14 times in 3 years for warranty. I actually drove rentals most of the first year. Corporate refused to stand by the satisfaction garrentee and told me to get a lawyer. I didn't qualify for the lemon law in my state because they have to have 3 failed repairs on the same part and they never could duplicate when testing. There now multiple class action lawsuits on hondas made 2016 to 2018 for knowing their was a problem and told dealers to return cars back to owners and say there was nothing wrong without investing
With the exhaust, is it just the muffler delete and tips or did you get anything else done to the exhaust? Didn't expect that basey noise to come just from the muffler delete...
Only muffler delete and tips!
Very nice bro
Thanks!
i love your gear shift cover, where did you get it from?
It’s from amazon but sold out a while back
Can you give me the links for the side skirts and back diffuser please? I love the build by the way hehe
erockz69 i actually got them from the dealer but i believe this is the correct one. Says it fits the hatchback. And thank you!

Still have the car? Would love an update via comment or channel. Just got one used curious how it has held up
I'm 5 years late, but I just bought this car in black and sport trim
grats, i just got ex trim in black. Hows it holding up? You like it?
I just want to know where u got ur leather bag u keep in ur trunk
Love your video man. Do you put unleaded gas or premium? I’m getting a 2018 hatchback ex soon and trying to find out the best gas option for it considering it has sports mode.
Had to do premium with the tune but regular without
Really want one of these… thinking so hard of trading my 2013 FRS for one. Looking to have a automatic car for once
You’re right about the arm rests and other pieces that are made of the same material. Are there any other better replacements?
You can always order the oem leather ones but it’s kind of expensive. I’ve seen people say the ones for the Honda Insight are cheaper but i think it’s only for the coupe. There are leather covers you stick on with 3m so that may be the cheaper way but I’m not sold yet on them.
Ryansneaks thanks. I have a coupe. I’ll look into those.
Antonio Mayen for sure! I would just look up on some forums to confirm fitment and options! Edit: it looks like they do not fit the hatch. Looks like sedans fit good but not sure about coupe
@@Ryansneaks The insight ones fit the hatchback. I did the center armrest with Insight. Door panels I did Civic they weren't too bad. I tried the overlays, they were fine for a fraction of the price, but the Insight ones are legit.
Do you have a link to where you got that diffuser from?
Nice I have the same Han Solo dice in my car! Also I have a question, did the tune void your warranty? I want to be able to make my car a little faster but of course I wouldn’t want to mess up my warranty
It will void the engine from my understanding. Anything to happen to the car will have to be proved that the tune did not have a role. I’ve been using it still and no issues. I plan on doing a updated vid at 50k which is coming up
@@Ryansneaks ah I see, well thanks for the fast response! Sounds cool, will be waiting on the new vid
i need info on that steering wheel. i wanna get it
Where did you buy the bottom lips I’ve been looking everywhere and I can’t seem to find the name. I like how on your car is wraps all around the bottom.
I got mine from the dealer but college hills Honda has them as well online
can I get the link for the splitter, diffuser and side skirts?
Hey man, I'm having some trouble finding the carbon dash overlay. Would you be able to provide the website you got it from.
The one i got is no longer available from the seller but i got from eBay
Do you have the link for the gear shift cover? It looks so sick!
I don’t sadly. It has been sold out for some time now.
Just got a sport hatch 6MT previous owner installed the k tuner and some other mods but looking to get a cold air intake, what do you suggest?
prl cobra cold air intake 👌🏾
I have a 2017 hatch cvt is it worth tuning it with the cvt
Where did you get those red sides and front lip and back one???? I've been looking for it forever!!
he literally said at the dealership
How did you change the fog lights?
Where did you get the side skirt and back bumper???
Areoe spec?how long it took for ur ordwe to be sent?
My transmission on my cvt went out after 37K miles. I had a stage 2 tune and ran it on 21psi at all times.
Damn sorry to hear that did you keep your tune after transmission replacement ?
@@camarena2332 I swap between factory and 21psi tune with the duel map.
@@camarena2332 I also have Prl cobra intake, prl inlet turbo pipe, prl intercooler and charge pipes, prl front and down pipe following my transmission going out. The car feels amazing and runs better with the supporting mods for the tune.
Are there any 10th gen hatchback that is 2.0 non turbo?
Ordered those rain guards a few times. Yeah they don't like up at all. Had to cut it with scissors
About to get myself one of these bad boys. Ashamed to admit I havent driven a manual before. I also hear that the manual isnt the best on the civic sport. Can you do performance enhancement changes like the cold air intake on the CVT Automatic?
You can. The intake would benefit the car only thing that could hurt is a bov or a tune that is too harsh for the cvt
@@Ryansneaks do you think a ktuner v2 base map would damage the cvt?
@@sea5023 nah, been running ktuner stage 2 and phearable 1.5 , it's fine but although I read on a forum that sedan and coupe cvt are stronger than hatch, idk if thats true but my touring coupe is doing great
Did you paint the side and front diffuser lips on red yourself or you bought them like that, I can't find them on that color? I've been looking for something like that but not luck.
They were purchased like that!
@@Ryansneaks thanks for responding the comment.
Hey man do you still own this car, how’s it going? I have a 2019 EX sedan, my mods so far are 20% tints, blacked out emblems, Invidia N1 exhuast, and some miscellaneous interior mods. I plan on getting a Ktuner soon, not sure if I wanna go Phearable stage 1.5 or TSP.
Same here, i have a 2019 ext sedan,,.how's your car right now bro?
What type of LED bulb is for the sun visor?
Where did you get the power supply?
How does it ride with 18’s? What size tires?
Where you got your sides skirts
How’d you get the red H logo?
What tune can you connect with the phone??
I have a 2017 Sport Touring I’m looking to tune. Do you still have this? How’s the tune holding up ?
I actually traded it in but selling the tuner it was amazing!
Hey , does the prl stage 1 intake make loud sounds from the turbo?
Angel Ortiz it’s minimal. If you want loud noise I’d go with a cold air intake.
With the cvt??? Asking because I just recently got one, I get alot of mix answers which gives me mixed emotions, I hate mixed emotions. 🙃
Where did you buyed the lip in red?
Thought I was the only one with the fading interior 😅
Where can you buy the red hfp lips and side skirts
Where to get the under body spoiler
Hey brotha wondering waht exhaust would work for my 2021 hatchback ex if you could help with that. I’m tryna really hard to find one that would work but a majority I find are for the center mounted sport model. Thanks if you could give me some tips!
You can have them re route along the spare to do a center but a new rear diffuser would be needed. I only did a muffler delete because cheaper and easier
Magnaflow makes one if you're still looking
Can you link your HFP Emblem sticker in your Carbon Fiber dash? Thanks!
@RyanSneak
Did you install the new front lip over the oem lip or did you remove first then installed ?
There’s no lip on a ex so it was a straight install
U have a Instagram ? To dm you pics just to verify before buying one lol
where is the red honda badge from??
Hey i have a quick question i have a 2018 honda civic sedan. Currently have cai, intercooler w/ charge pipes, cat back exhaust, catless dp fp &ktuner v2. I tried taking out the engine light on my car using ktuner but it keeps coming back. Do i need a custom tune in order for me to take out the engine light on my car? Lmk
I never had that issue. That may be a result of the cai or possibly cat? Most custom tunes will take that into consideration
@@Ryansneaks i just found out code was p0172 system too rich (bank 1) i never had that code before. but after installing ktuner Tried dual 21 psi. Then drove it for 25minutes that code pops out. Can i take that code out using ktuner?
this guy ends his sentences in commas
We’re you get your front lip ?
Hey bro sort of a late comment here not sure if you’ll see it but jus wondering if you have a link for the front lip kit. Btw amazing video!
This is mine here www.collegehillshonda.com/product/08F01-TEA-182.html
If you search the part number you may be able to find it cheaper on other sites. Just keep in mind it won’t fit the sport or sport touring due to their factory lip
What bulb size are the fog light ?
how is the audio system? I know the older civics have a bad rep for their audio system.
It’s decent. Nothing crazy tho! I have no probs w it but I’m not an audiophile
It's absolute trash. I replaced all of it in my 2017 lx.
@@nathancrigler4465 That’s cus you had the lx
hey from where did you got the red strip for the exterior border line
I believe that comes as an upgrade from dealer
What size are your tires?
So where can I get the red lip and sides??
