no. I did check on this and a guy at the dealership here did not know of any changes to the engine in the accord from the previous models and we still get the same 190hp as the earlier models did!

it is the o2 sensor extension cable. the original cable will not reach the new o2 sensor hole on the dc header

The O2 sensor hole looks to be at the stock location.

Where is that cable supposed to go? The lead to the secondary O2 sensor is one piece all the way through the grommet into the inside of the car.

The O2 sensor that goes into the header plugs into a harness in the engine bay.

I'm not sure why that cable would be needed.

Just a question,

The header people bought from ebay, Do you guys think this will fit on the 2006 TSX?
I just got my TSX 3 days ago, and looking forward to some headers + CAI.
Try to beat my friends Mazda 6 V6 !!!!

So yea. Simple question Will these headers fit on the 06 TSX?

Yeah it should I guess, ask JTso. Anyway performance wise the DC rip off is as good, and quality is good as long as it doesnt break. Looks doesnt matter since you wont be able to see the header anyway. It seems these guys dont have any issues with the header

my accord is an 06. an allthough it didn´t get the upgrades the 06TSX got I can´t see why the header shouldn´t fit?

The quality and looks of my header is very good. It has TIG wields it looks like...better than the MIG wields on the DC.

I actually like the hissing sound....it's kinda neat. I would like to dyno it, but I really don't have any time to drive 150+ miles to the dyno.

well if the header gives about 10whp and 4-5lbft of torque getting it instead of DC is a better choice.

yeah sure. I have put down my trust to kwjustin89's review. I'm sure just the price is low doesnt mean that it's bad quality. After all almost all things are made in china nowadays :P

Like any leak, they tend to get worse over time. Plus the fact that carbon monoxide could leak into the cabin, which is somewhat bad for your health, or lack thereof when your're dead.

Dude there is no exhaust leak. Its the way the flex pipe is. The flex pipe is like the DC header where there is no mesh on the inner side. Hence the hiss. The DC header hisses just like this one. I mentioned that earlier in the thread.
