Accel.speed
basically, i like fast!
Sweet man.
I just installed my exhaust today and it sounds DOPE. Not the greatest shape for a muffler but im not worried. Also changed my CAI into a SRI since I dont trust the filter fallin off again lol. Painted my exhaust mani heat sheild. And figured out I really do need a new oil pan gasket... Although idk how the F to do that cause I looked at the bolts and they are all in fairly hard to reach places and theres about 5 to 7 huge bolts that connects the oil pan to the transmission or something. Idk if is should remove those bolts or not... I think one is an engine mount...
But hey if anyone needs any help taking off a stock rusty exhaust, Id be glad to help. Took me and a neighbor to torch mine loose lol.

I dont get exactly what you mean... But i have questions.its all good accel i suck at names as well
just remeber when u do it CLEAN THE EDGES 100% no oil can be on it but also let it sit for a few hours or half a day before you put oil in it that way it can adjust and setup even if it is a cork gasket.
1) Do I need to take off the header inorder to change the gasket?
2) So i noticed that theres like a washer inbetween the oil pan and the bolts, is that just it, a washer?
3) And what do you mean by let the oil pan sit for a few hours? Dont you just clean it out with degreaser and let it dry?
4) Do I need to use a gasket sealer for this gasket?
5) So if I take all of those bolts off on the clutch plate shield in order to get to the oil pan bolts, nothing will happen? The engine wont collapse on my head or anything? lol
In all seriousness, Im serious lol.
Yeah its not a ricey exhaust. I like it
Haha and yeah brad ive been rockin my car with no front bumper or splash gaurds either haha this oil stuff is a pain in the ass...

Is it a washer or is it like a strip of metal with all the holes for the bolts to go through?
Use some HondaBond for the gasket
No the bolts on the dust guard for the clutch just hold a little shield on to the tranny to prevent dust from getting in the bell housing of the tranny
