Torque --

Thanks for the tip about Garage Kwai... he quoted me $150.00 for both the header and intake install! I'm very impressed -- the guy -- Benson -- knew his sh_t too, which is always a great thing to hear when you're having work done to your car.

Thanks again ==

We all take our acuras there. Sprioh, me, dom and john go there. benson really does know his shit. Hes done all the custom mods on johns car and my tie bars i had. Really great guy and great prices!!

I would have suggested him before, but i thought you were looking for a dealer to install them.

Yeah, the two dealers i called freaked me out w/ their outrageous $600.00 labor charges...

I was literally shocked when Benson said $150.00 ... now my only debate is OBX headers, or Comptechs... the thing is.. no chicago peeps wanna take me for a ride in their obx modded Type S's so I can judge whether the noise is too much or not.

byron is at least a SOLID hour from hooters! It costs 25bucks to run, they don't accept plastic, and be prepared to pay toll, like 6 times!
