^^ well i know about exhaust stuff. dealing with it so much but as for honda im not sure how they bolt up this is my first actualy honda im putting a exhaust on. i had a modded scion tc that was slammed and stanced before and the header you couldnt use the stock cat on that one. so im not sure..

but im running a dc header and i have a oem cat installed with mine. so im not sure how the header works on this one.

What kind of header? A 4-1 or 4-2-1?

I'm planning on buying that exhaust too. When you install it, can you post pics of it on the car? I wanna see how the fitment is. I'll appreciate it if you do

Looks good. Now it just needs that exhaust to finish it off :thumbs up
Do you take it to the track or is it just for looks?

 

[fastshadow171]

its just for looks i dont have time to get to track lol. but im still in between on this exhaust i cant figure out what needs to be modified lol i keep getting 2 different answers saying the bpipe and axleback needs extending and the axleback only needs extending i have no clue what i need to do to get this exhaust to fit good if anyone has answers please throw in.

 

[fastshadow171]

so after looking all night researching and researching i still have no answer about exhaust for sure. but i decided to lay out the exhaust fully next to my car. i matched up where it bolts to in the front and it looks like it should be a nice fit here is the pic of it layed out.

Only way to really tell is take off your old one and slap this on there! You gonna do it yourself or you bringing it to a shop?

 

[fastshadow171]

going to do it myself. problem is i have to cut the old one off before i install this one cause old is is all welded as one piece. so i want to be sure its going to work out good before i start cutting lol. but will start installing this week or weekend coming up. dropping the car off to my dad this week so he can work on brakes for me while im working and changing that coolant line. then im doing timing and exhaust probally next weekend.

alright so as being busy with work is slowing me down. exhaust im hoping will be installed ether tomorrow night or saturday. not sure yet. working on brakes, coolant line saturday to get completley fixed going to fix the pressure switch a little later not to worried about vtec right now. but will be replaced soon. and hopefully timing will be fixed sunday.

 

[fastshadow171]

alright well a little progress today. got oil changed and done running better after that... coolant line is in process of getting fixed got it pulled off just have to get another hose. timing and exhaust should be done this week.

but found out my rear driver wheel is whats causing my brake noise. brake pads are good. so have to pull everything off caliper rotor and everything and inspect it for issues. sounds like my emergency brake might need work.
