Sounds great. You need to have someone else video tape you cos you cant hold the camera steady at all...plus it's nightime.

Dope vids, Your car sounds sick from speakers. You have to use the strap from the camera and hang the camera from your neck at the perfect height so that you can stear the car. I've driven this car and it pulls as hard or harder than a Type S.

he got rid of the 325 and has an M3. He was kicked outta the fanatics forum, but he is registered under a new name. It's kinda obvious. He is one of, if not the only guy from Yonkers with a White M3.

like 4 of the accord guys dynoed the spacer for like 2-4 horses and the samefor torque throught the rpm range. It gives a little more throttle response, ut nothing too dramatic. The selling point is increased gas mielage and sound. I think the increase of gas mielage comes from me not getting on it all the way because the sound comes in at part throttle. Spe still makes them, but not for our cars. I bought one off a 98 cl owner, and had it bored out to match the throttle body. The only thing though, is the new spacers dont make the noise. So you would have to find an accord owner with an original design.

Better recheck the calculations for HP. If 2 - 4 HP was given throughout the rev band there would not be 2 - 4 lb/ft torque throughout. Same goes for vice versa; the math will not work out no matter what.

So I am confused, which one can we get to fit on our cars? Looking at the web site still unsure. The sound is awesome well worth the money if it comes out like that.

I spoke to Dean over at SPE and he wants to design one specifically for the TL/CL, he is out in Little Rock, any one that can swing by and have him take some messurements?

Bigman: if you bore out the center, don't you mess with the design of the piece?

Nope, didnt mess up the design at all. The machine shop measured the groves in the spacer and once they bored it, they made sure the groves were the same thickness. The spacer sounds the same before and after. They did an awesome job. When i called spe, they said that boring it out and matching the grove sizes would be like having them do it. And there machine shop wanted 300 to do it.
