Throttle body response

so after having my car for like a while i realized that my 3.0 cl's throttle body response is very poor. how would i be able to fix this and is there a DIY for it?

you could pull it out and clean it?

increase airflow and decrease back pressure...AKA intake and exhaust/headers...i see that you have SRI and magnaflow...that doesn't help???

I only have a V2 and the car is VERY throttle-happy...

well whats wierd is that my buddy was driving my car yesterday and he's all "dude your throttle response is really shitty". after that i got curious and i drove it myself and it is kinda slow. but then i realized he has a del sol with a b16 in it. so maybe he was being biased to his car. cause i drove that car and its scary fast. lol....

he was mentioning that i can adjust something on or in the throttle body. i dont remember exactly what he said but had to do with adjustment. so im wondering have you guys done anything with your throttle bodies other than cleaning them?

oh and im currently working on headers but im not even sure where to get them. i know that comptech makes them custom for our cars but i also know from the noob guide that accord headers fit on ours too...but with some bending....what are some things you guys have done with headers?
