1. The performance gain falls somewhere between my CAI and the Hondata reflash
2. Yes
3. Something only voids your warranty of they can prove it caused whatever failed to fail
4. I don't have a dyno comparison yet but it's been a while so I think I'll probably write something up about it today

I think a high-flow cat could be my next mod, it's cheap (from what i've heard) and has good performance gains. What kind of problems are POSSIBLE with a high-flow cat?

For Hondata, the local dealer is nice enough to cover shipping costs, but anything goes for the other mods.

Made it slightly louder, gave it a more raw, powerful tone. Personally I like it but the change was very subtle.

we'll see.

gold te's are not easy to come by, you have to get it from a volk dealer that pushes out a ton of wheels for them to get that custom color.

we'll see.

:troutslap i'm still the original.

The coils are the same for the Accord, got them as soon as they became available. The ride is comfortable.
