Ok. As long as you know the pros / cons of going to that exhaust manifold system. ("Dirt" is an irrelevant reason. That's why you have wraps and high heat coatings).
Good Fortune & Godspeed to you.

Interested parties will want to know what "brand" that intercooler is, especially one of that size.

I see that the high-temp rattle can VHT paint you tried to use didn't work so well on that exhaust manifold, eh?

Nice build... Interested on any problems you had doing the Hydro swap. I will be digging into a DA integra soon.

I did a little research on it and Ill prolly go with the Hush Kit. Plus an EG pedal assembly. Hoping I dont need a different trans mount. The car already has Hasport swap mounts.

All wanna hear if you have any pedal fitness..

yes sir he will be making my new kit too.

that stuff was the set up before car was sold by my pops and then new mani was re made for last owner and he just sprayed it and didn't coat it.

new new set up will be all coated again the right way. coater wants to do this for me chrome coating so might give that a go for promotion and he always takes care of me.

I have the same front and rear setup and it works very well, not to mention the weight savings.
