That's cool, Kakimoto is well-regarded here and with it being stainless, you don't have to worry as much about its life expectancy. I know going with Ti is a decision that will eventually yield a cracked exhaust when used for everyday use. I experienced it 3 times with my Amuse on the 5R Teggy, of course 2 times was because I didn't know the stock front engine mount was broken and the 3rd time was when playing with a 34GT-R one night all of a sudden I saw the sun in my rearview. 
The internals on the canister lit on fire...maybe was running too lean from 8400~8750rpms and the exhaust temps spiked or something. It was cool though, because later I just ripped the whole canister off and had a straight exhaust and it was disgusting good sounding, but very obnoxious without doubt.
Still looking good.

So you or your tuner created your own harness for the FCon, that's nice. Looking at HKS' site and they don't list any Honda for the unit you are using.
I'm probably going to have my ECU flashed by J's in 3 weeks time as they are having a day at one of the Super Autobacs about an hour away from me. The day before the I Heart Honda day they spent a constant 2 hours running on Suzuka verifying the tune checking for any hiccups and had none. Supposedly gains are in the neighborhood of 15ps, but not sure if that is with accompanying J's pieces like the exhaust and to be released shortly their intake or where exactly in the powerband that is at. It's not what I really want as I want something I can tinker and tune with, but Hondata has no plans for a FlashPro device in the near future. Which is quite a shame because I have a feeling the little L15 has a good amount of hidden power lying within its aluminum.

First off, great dyno numbers for sure, I need to check into the Uni-Chip now that I've got the Magnaflow muffler and K&N typhoon intake is going in early next week. I wouldn't mind a little extra and this car putting down 150 whp is impressive IMO
BTW, Asian woman are so sultry!
