Actually, I could have done that a little better but I started out on gravel and notice that the VSA kicked in and screwed up the whole damn thing. I was only screwing around though.

my offer to help you install your headers is rescended.
I need to borrow your camera to take a vid of my car. It sounds hella mean after installing my exhaust.
at least I think it does, I haven't heard it from outside the car yet. Except for when my gf revved it while in park.

Not too bad for a first...this is better than half the videos over on streetfire.net! Chris, do you have comptech headers or what brand? As in my sig I want to get them very soon, but comptech seems expensive. Hmmm how the hell do you do headers anyways?

I should have named this the "CO Members only" thread!
Thanks for all the comments guys!
I actually want to start making some more vids. I think I need some editing software though.

Headers bolt right up from underneath. Except in my case, where you can't get the nuts off of the bolts to remove the OEM manifold and A-pipe!

Don't Mess With Texas
^^^ wrd rust sucks!!! it took me SOOO long to do my install. i actually went back to stock last night. i would advise you to buy all stainless hardware at your local hardware store. its a cheap investment, and when i went back to stock last night everything came off without even using a drop of WD40. video was pretty cool! whts that white stuff all over the ground?! i would suggest going in the direction away from the sun nexttime so we can see your speedo shoot up!

All I know is that the VSA kicked in, I thought I was out of the sand (they put that on the roads instead of salt) but I really wasn't. The VSA caught it and slowed me down I think.
What exactly does the actuator do?? Does it have something to do with Vtec?

See if those threads help. I know it's probably difficult to tell just from watching that video, but I have videos of my TL-P like that (even with TCS on) and it was faster. I drove CL-Ss on test drives, and they were also quicker.

That does help, and I have seen it before but I guess I assumed that it has someting to do with Vtec. I guess not! You know what ass-u-me'ing does!
I'm gonna try this later and see if it is a problem. Sometimes the car feels dog-ish or not as quick as it used to and I wonder if this is why. I also wonder if that is why my car won't break loose when it nails 2nd gear anymore too.
Thanks! I guess good things come from posting a video.
ok, So I looked here http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...catdisplay.jsp for the actuator but I'm not certain I know what i'm looking for. Can someone give me a hand so I can find out how much it will cost me to replace it if I need to? Thanks!!!

There is probably so much info on this stupid part here already. more than likely no need to start a new thread on it.

I have a big ole breaker bar which should be sufficient to get the rest of teh bolts off. It was for me. The three cat bolts were my only freaking problem.
Sounds like I might have a whole new problem with this IMRC though... I will admit, the car does NOT seem as powerful as it did when I got it.

I said, "screw it!" and haven't touched it since. It likes pissing me off so I've been avoiding it.
I can bring all my shit over and we can take a quick vid of our cars afterwards sometime soon if you want. I'm hoping to get some help with my cams install, just in case I need someone to hold something like the belt tensioner while I adjust something, I've done every single one of the installs on my car myself except my very first rotor install.. before I found out one of them was warped.
Doing it by myself is possible, but it's proibably almost twice as hard.
I have spring break next week, and will probably have tuesday off from work, and will have every other day off before 5, so any time then is fine with me.

If you help me with the headers, I'll help you with the cams.

I can do a header install myself in less than two hours (assuming no rusted bolts).
