You won't get the thump if you hold the clutch a few seconds for the midshaft to spin down before putting it into gear.
or throw it into 2nd before you slide into 1st

AP2 is the better car for everyday driving, not so say that AP1 is bad.

And honestly, the tiny AP2 bump in torque has IMHO always been over rated
And before someone tries to turn this into an AP1 Vs AP2 thread let me just say don't
AP1 is not like AP2, some prefer 1, some prefer 2, to each their own, respect the difference

AP2 consistently puts down more power on dyno tests, and the man who designed our cars says the AP2 is the better car.
Then again, to each his own. We can agree to disagree.
AP1 was definitely a good draft.

Its not just a power bump, its moving the power curves down 1,000 rpm, so you have power sooner. Its revising the cams so you have more power before VTEC and smoother transition. Its revising the drive ratio for more squirt to help amplify the power band changes. Its about taking what was a peaky car and spreading the power out more evenly so its more usable and livable.
1,000% agree which is why I suggested the OP at least tries an AP1
With the higher rev you are in VTEC longer and the sound is awesome
