Mods completed (Headers, sways, mufflers)...

Last Thursday I had Jens at Park Ave Acura put my headers, sways and mufflers on. The difference is unf'en believable!!!!

Everything that I've read on this list about the sways was correct. The handling has improved dramatically, Jens also put 35psi in the stock tires to get the most out of them. The ride is only slightly ruffer and I may lower the tire pressure just to test it out.
The headers look real nice and just take this car to the next level in performance. You can feel a little more power low end and when ya accelerate onto the highway ya get an incredible amount of top end power.
The mufflers have a nice deep throaty sound to them at low rpms and actually get quieter at higher rpms (which is nice). They give the car a nice v8 rumble.
Overall I was very happy with the service at Park ave. I got the standard loaner, the car was ready after lunch, and Jens did a great job on the car. Wayne runs an excellent service department and I'll be going back in the future.

Now I just have to learn how to drive my car again.

I just put my Comptech exhaust on last Friday evening, after already having the headers and sways installed for a couple weeks. The exhaust really adds a nice, low, V8-sounding "blub-blub-blub" at low RPMs even at a low rate of acceleration. And the looks is much nicer than stock, too.
