It’s mostly a tune that made the difference not the intercooler. You plug that adapter under your dashboard and it changes the boss levels and stuff in your ecu. Honda uses something like that called hondata and another one called ktuner. Anyway….. the intercooler does nothing really but cool the air.

But most of us need the practicality of a vehicle only capable of low teens ET's. Part of the fun is getting lower times and driving to work tomorrow! I have owned a 2013 and 2016 Sport, and first thing I found was running constant 93 made a big enough difference that my dealers service manager asked me what I'd done to the car and did I have a tune. (Apparently it smoked a new 2018 owned by the mechanic fixing my power unit. (Essentially the transfer case.)) Up until nearly 2019, the Sport was more expensive to tune and find upgrade for. The first 3 or 4 years it was only Livernois and we know their pricing! But more importantly, almost no one cared. RT's never gave us a look, and forget SRT's! But now, my ST can do those numbers with an intercooler and tune alone. Plenty of room for mods to chip away at those faster cars. There's plenty of challengers available to liven up a trip to the grocery! (I like to surprise people! ) No need to discuss mileage. That's going to suffer because of excessive right pedal pressures!

So what exhaust did you have on that ST? Does not sound like stock exhaust from the first run we were shown.

He hit it on the head at the end. 5000 lbs-no brake upgrades and the brakes are not really up to performance driving levels.
