helix power tower is in, and a ? about my alignment
OOOOKKKK so my helix power tower throttle body spacer is in, it makes it sound SLIGHTLY better, not really noticeable under normal driving conditions. if you have $73.50 to blow and don't really have anything else to buy, MABYE you should consider this one. i also got the old noisy version. don't waste ur time/money on the new one b/c it does nothing at all.
also i got my alignment yesterday from a guy at the honda dealership. i got it under the table for only $25! he corrected everything but he said if i want the rear to be 100% perfect i would have to get a camber kit. right now it's off by 1 degree. will this do a lot of damage? i heard from some ppl that u can offset ur camber by up to 2 degrees and it won't do much. i don't really have $150 for a camber kit, so i'm trying to determine if i absolutely need one. thanks for advice

accord v6 owners said they gained 3hp on the dyno, i doubt i'd feel that. i haven't really noticed any, but i haven't really been driving that hard. I mainly got this thing to increase my gas mileage and for the sound

the throttle body spacer, im sorry to say, is a ricer mod. you yourself said it best "i also got the old noisy version. don't waste ur time/money on the new one b/c it does nothing at all." perhaps the new version is actually better... the only difference is it doesnt make the noise. dont take it personal... its just that i've seen a lot of pewople buy this thing solely because it sounds cool... thats pretty retarded.

your the one that said "don't waste ur time/money on the new one b/c it does nothing at all. "
by nothing at all... you mean the sound. because im sure it does everything else better. therefore, i was paying attention.
