Just look at all the Honda V6 accord. They have tons. Fits onto our cars but I heard there was little or no gains. I gave up on the little gains as I purchase the AEM pulleys(didn't feel a thing)

One word of advice from an Accord V6 guy, it is not worth it unless you introduce force induction into the equation. There were a few AV6 guys who tried it out but had more hassles than that little gain. The gain is no more than 2 or 3 HP up top, but with added exhaust noise and more lost low end torque. Also, the check engine light would come up despite the claim that it is "within emisssion legal limits." An AV6 member recently had to have his emission checked out, and failed it! He placed the stock converter back on and passed with no problems. Keep your stock catalytic converter and keep your car happy.
