Well after I took it out I learned a lot.

There was no map sensor so the ECU was in limp mode already. The downpipe was crushed so it wasnt spooling. Spending a bit more money I could have gotten it to run right, but that really wasnt in the cards.

TJCCARDCO, what kind of SS header you got there?? Did you put it on urself? I put mine on about 2 months ago & now there's a leak on the downpipe where it connects to the cat... I've gotten a couple gasket out fit in between the downpipe and the cat, and it's not working. I took out the factory spring bolts tho, 'cuz they were giving me a leak as well... should I order a new set or those spring bolt sets from dealership or what? help me...

I got a DC Sports Header, I myself have an exhaust leak at the manifold. But anyways, uhm..get a high flow cat? - I don't really know about the spring bolts, I used all new bolts because, the ones on there were rusted to ****. So, it's up to you get the new bolts or just get a high flow cat it should come with bolts for it to bolt up.

You should use spring loaded bolts. Because the engine is front wheel drive the motor does tend to move alot. You want some give in the exhaust movement.

That's why they give you springloaded bolts so there is give on you exhaust.

If they don't have give your exhaust will wear quickly. I'll put it this way, my friend busted his pipe in half within' 2 months. His motor did move a lot more than normal.


Point in short. Put some springloaded bolts on there.

Nitrous also puts a lot of stress on the internals. And anybody can do NOS. Do all motor.

I was thinking of just getting it to run right, and then say I'll just drive it for a little bit and then have two cars either that or the accord and a bike.

I haven't decided, I really want a AWD Talon
