Question about modding 99 2.3CL
Ok, newbie here(Whasup?), now this might be a silly question for most you Ack guys, but about modding the 2.3CL...for the intake/header, you say we can use 94'-97' Accord parts. So does it matter whether it's for an Accord LX/SE/EX??? 
This is really my girl's Ack(I have the Eclipse), and we just got it last week. So we're new to all this Acura/Honda stuff! We want to start modding it right away, so wanted to clarify this!
Appreciate the info...and please, hold the sarcasm! LOL! :o

misinformation here. 
you have to use accord Ex engine parts for the header. otherwise it wont fit. so make sure you get a header from an accord Ex.
other than that..... its all just about the same.

where as the the Ex is the soch vtec 2.2 motor and the ports look like this.

sublte difference, but they dont bolt up to eachother.
here is an intresting tidbit. you can take an eclipse/talon/laser/galant vr4 turbo exhaust manifold and re-drill it to bolt onto the non-vtec accord motor.

oh yah.. make sure you get anything but the DC sports header. get something like the Kamikaze header.... more money, but better power gains. it has a 2.5'' collector before the cat, as opposed to the DCsports ones that has a 2.25'' collector.

So yeah, what about OBX? Or even those no name ebay headers like this one...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33631
Curious, is it worth saving the $$$???

On Ebay, there's always people who are getting rid of their cars, and they rip out all the mods and put the factory parts back in.. if somebody spent $3000 modding the car, it's unlikely that they'll see even $1500 for their troubles.. depending on how long they're willing to leave it on the market of course. To me, kind of like putting a swimming pool in your backyard, it adds value but there's also a bunch more people who aren't interested in it and don't want to pay for it as part of a package. I would avoid used headers moreso than a used catback, I understand that there's a breakin period with expansion/contraction cycles and I'm not convinced that the seal would be perfect the second time around.
