Exhaust, header install pics :P
 

Well we finally got around to installing my header and exhaust and i must say DAMN that exhaust hangs lower than stock..i'm rubbing on damn near everything! Anyways, as for performance, it picks up a little quicker now but not anything to write home about. THe looks are freakin awesome!
problem is i have an exhaust leak somewheres! so i need to fix that tomorrow and i'll hopefully get around to putting on the H&R Sport springs sometime this week, painting the valve cover and givin'er a tune up. Oh one more thing...i dunno if its just the exhaust leak, but somewhere around my valve cover/header area, i hear a slight ticking sound. its rather annoying and i'mworried about it.

p.s. (just had timing belt, balancer belt, water pump replaced by Honda on thursday and the sound just started today [sunday]) any thoughts?

If there is enough room against the body, just use some shorter rubber hangers or bend the metal hangers on the exhaust to bring it up a bit.
Find that exhaust leak...they suck

When did you have your last valve adjustment?

speaking of which i'm going to need a valve adj. how much do you guys think it costs?

Honda rips you off roughly $85 (because it takes less than 1hr)
If you have a feeler gauge you can do it yourself.

yeah i think i've read the procedure, but i don't have a feeler gauge, so i'd have to buy one (which i'm assuming isn't cheap) and i'd probably fuck it up.

my mechanic is going to do it for me hopefully this week

feelers are like $8

get an offset gauge, they help a lot ond dohc hondas, and they are not that hard, just make sure the camgear is properly aligned with the marks on the head, otherwise it won't come out right

^^^= $$$$ :o

man I'd do all my own but im lazy :o

nice install. but what brand are they?

pics look good.

header is DC Sports 4-2-1 Ceremic coated
and the catback is Apex-I World Sport 2
