Hi all.
After I replaced the crappy aftermarket intake with a stock OEM system and cleaned out the whole intake manifold I saw a much improved brake feel, shortened braking distance, and better pedal feel on my 6th gen Accord.
I am trying to understand why the pedal is so good on my 6th gen accord. I feel like the brakes on my sports car are wooden in comparison, and I can't believe it!
On the Nissan, I put street performance OEM spec pads and rotors on the hubs. Installed stainless brake lines. Had the lines PROFESSIONALLY BLED by the Nissan dealer and a local performance shop. Still can't get the same easy press to stop on a dime like the Honda.
I'm wondering if it also has something to do with the intake of my Nissan? Can anyone recommend areas to check that aren't the normal areas of concern (not bleeding the lines, replacing the fluid, or replacing rotors & pads). Other people with my set up have much lesser braking distances and much less pedal effort.
Could it be a clogged hose or intake runner or something? Stock intake on the Nissan for 80k miles so far. Car is 8 years old.
Thanks for reading, hopefully you can help me find a solution.
