B12 service is replace oil, inspect brakes, rotate tires, replace air filter and inspect drive belt.

So in total it should be around $30ish
Do NOT pay $398....

and btw VR1 how much did you pay for your spoiler install?

xtcnrice

He went to the dealership so I'm guessing a fortune?

xtcnrice

So the Fox exhaust is showing up on eBay now. Anyone gonna bite?

iCrap

lol ^ he prob paid like $500+

Whats the fox exhaust... all i could find is this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acura-Tsx-09-10-11-12-13-14-Tsudo-SP2-stainless-Cat-back-Exhaust-w-test-pipe-/281723294177?hash=item41980451e1&vxp=mtr
Actually it i tried to remove my muffler to see how it'd sound... the flanges have literally fused themselves together. I guess from the heat? I'm sure my downpipe will be near impossible to remove if i ever get the rv6...

obert

I had to cut the bolts and nuts of the cat to get the RV6 down pipe and strait pipe on. There was no way the nuts were coming off.

iCrap

So what did you do after that? drill out out and tap in new threads / new bolts?

obert

So when I did the down pipe I cut the nut heads off the stock cat and left the studs in the stock head because I was putting in the RV6 header. And I also broke off one of the spring bolts while taking them out. The RV6 header does not come with 3 new nuts and bolts to hook up to the stock car so I just went and bought some. It does come with all the gaskets.

Just a little infor on the RV6 strait pipe. It does come with 6 new nuts and bolts so I used all of them so the would all match. And took out the ones I bought. Also for the studs and nuts that connect to the cat back on the stock exhaust I cut off the back of the stud and not the bolts because I could not pound out the stud that is left behind in the stock exhaust. So the only way was to cut the back of the stud off to get it out.

Major pain in the ass to do and I did this on the ground with a cutter.

Sorry for the long answer I hope this makes sence ! If not ask away I will try and clear up any parts I can.

A lot of heat + impact worked for me, otherwise I would have been screwed.

obert

Yeah no air tools for for me, I did try some heat but no luck

I invested in a Craftsman Cordless Impact a few years back. At the time it seemed like all I was doing was suspension and wheel work. The battery has lost its juice, as I can only remove 4 lugs before it looses torque, but it has done its duty.

Replacement Li-Ion batteries are expensive. Almost better to buy a new kit than the standalone battery itself.

^no craftsman warranty?!

ulrblitzer

Haha. Are we dragging the excelerate rant into this thread?

Always took it as a wear and tear item.

iTrader: (1)

lol, im being serious. my bro works for sears hardware.
will ask him about your craftsman impact lithium-ion battery.


and I think that guy that is complaining about XLR8 is a tool.
life time warranty doesnt mean life time. lol

iCrap

afaik batterys arent covered... but for my Milwaukee drill i sent in the battery and they sent me a new one for cheap

ulrblitzer

I kinda figured. Thanks for looking into it tho.

ulrblitzer

Hey what's a fair selling price for our CU2 cat back exhaust, given these aren't hot items and there's nothing in the blackmarket for me to use as a baseline? Someone wants to buy mine to chop it up for a project.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

because they really dont depreciate, you could probably sell it close to brand new.

$300-400

VR1

Ya it's crazy. Other then getting it done somwhere else however, I don't think I have much choice. I paid $145 for my spoiler install.

Jaheri_cbp

Of course you have a choice.. Go to Walmart.. Buy a 17mm wrench.. Drain pan.. Oil and oil filter.. And cabin air filter (ALL can be found at WALMART) and do it yourself. And save yourself about 300+... Smh kids these days

If you insist on being lazy Tire kingdom would do all of that for less than 100 bucks. They rotate tires for free

VR1

Probably should've planned it out better, but I'm leaving Thursday on a road trip to my college, out of town till tomorrow evening, told my dad to drop it off and take a loaner tomorrow. If I had known earlier the price I def. would've done it myself beforehand

thats what happens when you dont have to pay the bill/

obert

What's up Rob ? I see your still speaking the truth over here to

There's an ancient thread somewhere about the Fox exhaust. They tried to do a group buy but I think it failed due to not enough interest.

Two offerings:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fox-Duplex-Sportauspuff-Honda-Accord-8-CU2-Limousine-Tourer-ab-2008-1x114mm-/331519597843?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item4d301b9d13
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fox-Duplex-Sportauspuff-Honda-Accord-8-CU2-Limousine-Tourer-ab-2008-1x100mm-/271260855640?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item3f28682d58
The 114mm tips are way too huge for my liking. The 100mm is more acceptable. I think Asian Candy had the Fox exhaust with a vid on here somewhere.

ulrblitzer

Wish I could read that ebay post. Is it German?

Is that also a chop and weld axle back type system too? If so, I'd be more inclined to do a custom magnaflow weld on. Less of a headache.

xtcnrice

Hmm, never looked at it closely to determine whether it's a full catback or something less. I do recall there being a Fox exhaust thread somewhere in the 2G forums though. I'd assume the answer should be there. Sound clip could also be found I think as at least one member I know of has/had it on their car. As far as I can remember, the Fox exhaust isn't some cheap hack-job exhaust and they actually make some systems for other higher end cars too. I'm still holding off for RV6 as it's not a must-buy for me right now. I'm thinking Modulo rear before exhaust.

ssjoeboe9

Hey xtcnrice.. I find your avatar kinda boring. Can you change it please.

optimusaccord

Needs to be at like 7600 rpm, and like 83 mph.... that's how you know you're in the top of third gear on a manual...

xtcnrice

But but.. if you look closely, she's at 1000 km

hahah

iCrap

I agree, your avatar is boring. Time for a new one.

xtcnrice

You're boring, iCrap.

ssjoeboe9

I agree iCrap is boring! And kinda nerdy with all his computer junk.

Bottom line.. change your avatar to a sick shot of your BBK and wheel setup. Tired of looking at that gauge cluster.

Long Friday through Sunday for me coming up. I start work tomorrow at 330am and might not get off until 5pm or later. Back up and out of the house by 6am on Saturday to drive to Eugene Oregon and then back. And then back up early sundaybto work a full shift plus.

Two good things will come out of all of this. I will have my dyno tune done by Vit and I will be making a lot of OT at work

But almost zero down time.

opboarding

Or change your avatar to boobs. Everyone loves boobs.

obert

Yeah Yeah the 3 boob chick from Total Recal

ulrblitzer

Looking forward to seeing those numbers and details from working with Vit! .. and watch out for them deers. Freakin deers.

obert

One thing that worries me is its going to be super hot down there.

optimusaccord

Hey, does anybody happen to have the air intake resonator from the cu2 laying around in their garage that doesn't need it? The one that is down under the front bumper?

I need one.

ssjoeboe9

The person you sold your car to is complaining about not having the resonator?

opboarding

I have mine from the CU4, don't know if it's the same design.

iCrap

its different on the v6 for sure.
