today im getting my dc headers in the mail, and in a week or so my rt high flow cat . i already have an icebox (comptech) i cant wait to see what the car will feel like after having on all three. i may just put on the header now(ish) to measure the difference with/without cat. in general how much power should i expect to see over stock realistically? no one seems to have the same opininon on numbers lol

 

Awesome mods, although I need to wonder why the RT cat? The FLP is a lot better made and has a larger piping for more power.

 

Very nice! Remember to update and maybe throw in a picture or two of the install.

 

oh darn it... well what's done is done lol, i may have an exhaust shop take my money n do the dirty work for me as my post manifold nuts/bolts are chronically rusted beyond the help of pb blaster and a breaker bar

 

Hit us up before buying any more TSX parts. We are the #1 TSX parts supplier globally...bold statement but you'd be hard pressed to find someone to dispute it.

 

i just may do that, my last experience with thmotorsport left me with mixed feelings is all i can say... sometimes free shipping just isnt worth it :/

 

That's because they suck ass, don't make their own site, and rely on cheap prices to stay in business. We dedicate our time 80% to Acuras and 20% to old dinosaur Civics and CRXs. And we don't have 1000 other customers distracting us from you.

 

arite guys, if god be willing, tomorrow morning im getting the parts installed on my car for $120 ill report back with driving impressions

 

ok guys the parts have been installed!! i eagerly took it for a drive back to my house from the shop and felt... NOTHING. jk, i did feel a lil loss in low end torque and a tad smoother acceleration (i think). im not sure if the guys at the shop disconnected the batteries for the 02 sensor part so the ecu may not have really remapped itself correctly yet. right now my car's sitting outside with the negative terminal detached. ill reattach it when im going to work later and giv it a day or two and report back.

 

did you ever get your hood fixed?

 

lol not yet, im awaiting a call from the guy i had do my header install to his paint guy for a quote. i may or may not go with bobby's suggestion and vinyl wrap. and now as for the headers and cat i think im finally starting to feel the difference. it was hard to notice at first because a low tank of gas and cool weather makes my car feel like what it does now on half a tank and near 90 degree weather. so ill definitely feel it more one of these nights with less gas. as well i notice the power doesnt quite taper off the way it used to in the higher rpms but lasts throughout the rpm band. it throws you off though because some low end torque was taken away so rather than the initial jump to mid rpms (probably due to the ct icebox) then fade in torque after 5-6k, you feel more of a linear increase, or at least that's the best i can describe it.
