does anybody know a good place to install aftermarket performance part in maryland/va/dc area?

xizor

nope, i've done all my work myself. i'd be willing to help out if you're doing anything yourself if its a an install i've done before.

hey,

like xizor said, we're willing to help with an install we've done before. i live in the silver spring area as well. we just had an install-fest; maybe it's time to have 1 more!!! what do you say xizor? my fuji exhaust is beggin to be put on !!!

but to answer your question...
Tischer Acura has a aftermarket guy working at the dealership who will install stuff on your car. His name is Lenny Sauro. Tischer Acura is located in Laurel, MD.

AutoThority - i had my suspension setup on my accord done at this shop. they did a good job with the work, AutoThority is located in Fairfax, VA.

i just ordered my cai last week and im gettin the comptech headers and hondata gasket probably early next month either one of ya can help me w/ the cai that would be tight

xizor

i've done my own CAI and hondata gasket. CAI is easy, gasket is a PITA but both are good to do together. Never done a header, but pics haven't looked too bad, just gotta get under there. I'd be happy to help, my weekend schedule is packed because of football games, but let me know when you do it and i'll see if I'm around.

hey naskhan, throw out a couple possible dates for an install. this weekend looks like it's a washout with hurricane ivan at our doorsteps.

hey jmathew did u go to paintbranch high school? also I was debating on whether or not I should instal lthe cai as soon as i get it or wait till the first week or october so i can buy the headers and install them together. Another thing is that my car is brand new (less than 200 miles), so maybe I should put some more miles on it first?

jmathew34

yep, went to pbhs class of '97, what about you?

hmm, personally i would wait till at least the break-in period for your car is over to start adding the parts...just my 2 cents.
I wonder how long everyone else on this board waited before adding mod's to their car.

the cai will be an easy install, as for the headers i am sure you will need to put the car either on a lift or jackstands. if you search the forum there are a couple people on here that have done their headers, some of them might have instructions on how they did it and they might have some tips as well...

let us know..

If you are going to install in full CAI, I would say wait and do both at the same time, because that way you can have your car up on a lift and install the lower portion (that fits where the resonator now is) through the wheel well.

xizor

and definately do the gasket and CAI at the same time.

FYI, I started a planning thread for a second Install Fest:
