I don't have any real specs for you except 201hp and 139tq but I just bought a 06 Type S a week a go and I am in love with the thing in its pure stock version. This is coming from a 00 Civic Si with I/H/E/Cams/Koni susp.

interior is pretty posh. Though in terms of the handeling there is some understear, which is expected from a FWD car. Honestly a good set of sway bars will help a lot.

stock tires arent too great. Michellin pilot brand. suspension is pretty tight, there still is body roll. ivtec is really smooth. close 6speed tranny. NO LSD! soft clutch. bumpy on bad roads. bose radio sucks ***. no HID!

I don't think the system sounds bad at all... I really don't listen to rap music to much but the sub hits nicely for stock and you can crank the rock music with little to no distortion. For a stock system it is very nice.
