Well, I had Acura re-torque them
I kept hearing this disgusting resonance at low rpms. Someone suggested I have the headers retorqued because of metal expansion and some other cryptic reason.

Anyhow, I had this done and WOW -- the noise is *completely* gone and better yet, the car is alot more responsive I feel lik I only NOW discovering how much the car pulls with the headers! Of course, this may only be a coincidence since I also put back my summer tires on (and it SNOWED today .. !! )

On a side-note, I took the car in to also address the rattling moonroof. It happened last year; they had lubbed it up and problem went away. It came back a few weeks ago. After having read about the "magic acura tape" I specified I wanted it used this time. It was done properly this time and lo and behold: no more noise

 

I did the same thing after I took my car to the track and only ran a 15.2 The exhaust leak killed performance that day.
