I would always replace gaskets and never reuse old ones. Obviously you have read the same things I have.

Also- I was watching Hot Rod TV and they said when installing headers you should reitighten after a couple of warm ups and cool downs.

Auto parts store would be cheaper. They may have to order them.

Danny http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...HAUST+MANIFOLD

Looks like you can pick up a set of gaskets for under 10 bucks. If you plan on doing it this way, hit up Vandergriff now, if they dont have it, they'll order it for you. And yes, these part numbers are the same parts numbers that the acura dealers use.

12557 003 2 GASKET, EX. MANIFOLD $7.85 $6.28

just called v-griff and they said they could special order a couple gaskets for me, but they're $20 a piece! So i guess i'll order a couple from that site you posted mantis.

hey TypeS_CLark, if you want headers, email this guy: danny@savesome.net
He has some for $335 shipped. I was just about to buy them from him, but then found them a little cheaper. Here's his thread:
http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=93453
He responds to email very quickly, and has all positive feedback on ebay.

hey guys, long time no write, huh.

my icebox arrives on friday as well, and i'm gonna know tomorrow whether i have to go into work on saturday or not. if i don't, then i'm 100% for meeting up and doing an install with Inferno and whoever else wants in.

Danny, sorry i didn't get back with you on the header-install CTC price. i had them do a few things, and it wasn't itemized on the receipt for labor, so i don't know what they charged. i did at the time. things have been crazy or i'd have PM'd you back with that info earlier.

i'll jump back in here soon.

later,
nutz

cool, hope you're free Sat.

No prob on that header price. If you still have their # i could give them a call just to check. Right now the best price I've heard is $120 from the place bluesman said.

Oh yea its on 121 in Lewisville.
I just reread your post and just to make sure... that was $120 total right, not per hour for 2 hours?

If so, what's their number? I may be needing an appointment with them in a week or so.

That would be cool, Danny. We have been talking about this since that time we swapped tires, I think! I don't mind driving to Arlington, by the way. Cheers!

HELL YEAH!!! (we don't use that expression enough anymore)

Danny, you are going to love the extra pull you get. With your numbers before, you should be able to get a 14.5 easy and maybe a 14.4? Cheers again! Inferno

Arlington, McKinney or anywhere in between is fine for me! If others want to join, great! That way we can take some group photos, too. Otherwise, we just do what is easiest for us! Hell yeah!

Okay, I attempt my first reply in weeks and my browser crashes.

Anyway, it seems Spring is around the corner and it's time to come out of hibernation. Especially since there is something important to do, like get that Ice Box installed.

Things have been really crazy since I got back from my trip down to Austin where Civic and I burned up some streets.

Inferno, I'll call you Saturday to get details if I can pull something off. The only issue we may have is that according to my UPS tracker, the goods don't arrive until Saturday afternoon.

I'd kill to see the Ice Box installed. We aren't even meeting until 5:30 and we should be there for quite some time. We are also getting a 10% discount on food for anyone who eats with us. It's a HUGE parking lot and the guy that owns the restaraunt is a Dallas Police Constable so we'll never have a problem with cops! It's a great spot and it should be a great meet.
