After maybe two weeks of dealing with random BS, I finally have everything together, and boy is it fun

A few thoughts:
- Running open header for a week and a half, you actually get used to it...but that might just be that you've permanently lost some hearing and so NOTHING is as loud as it used to be. You've probably also killed half of your brain cells breathing all the non-catalyzed exhaust fumes.
- The stock exhaust system, whenever you choose to remove it (note: whenever, not "if"), should not be thrown around in a fury while yelling obscenities concerning the rusted-together bolts and nuts if you want to use it again...
- Don't put your nice blingy Toda header on with the donut collector gasket but no exhaust and then go driving around...or you'll have to visit the Honda dealer to get an S2000 donut collector gasket (which does work by the way, thanks all who suggested it )
- Toda header + Fujitsubo RM01A = AWESOME power, sound, look, and fitment.

I feel like I should tune the car now, as VTEC sort of seems too high. It's engaging at the correct stock point, but the powerband seems like it wants to be on the big cam lobes earlier. Luckily, Hondata is sort of on the way, meaning I'm gathering parts now (have an S100, P06 to be converted/socketed by Kenji, and will be picking up a conversion harness).

Pics will be up maybe tomorrow when I can get a camera. Dustin might even help me get a video clip

Woot, video clip: http://www.we-todd-did-racing....DE%3D

Right click, save as.

Second video clip: (please ignore the...uh...houses going by...we really weren't going that fast, just sounds like it...)

This is signature quote material. LMAO so true.

 

That is the way to go

 

My favorite header and a great exhaust. Good choice. Love to hear a clip or see some pics.

 

I plan on running the same setup, how much did the header and exhaust run you?

 

&lt;-- So jealous of your setup


&lt;--Doesn't want to be poor anymore

 

Those are mighty nice mods. Lets see/hear a clip of the setup.

 

i am actually looking up to that setup. i've heard only good things.

Nice setup man, congrats. That's exactly the same i noticed after installing my Hytech system, now the VTEC x-over is set @4500 and i gained 12-15whp in the midrange (4,5k-6k) and 13whp at peak. Car is now much more fun to drive thanks to the fact i can change up @ 7k and be in VTEC Get it tuned and you'll be amazed at the gains that can be had with a good header and exhaust.

 

Thanks all, hopefully I'll have that clip and some pics tonight. As for price, I got the header for $800 and the exhaust for $450. I had won the test pipe at last year's ITR Expo, so that didn't cost anything, and the SMSP cat was $50, though I have to modify it before it'll fit.

By the way, big to Misfit and JeffS for selling me their stuff and getting it to me quickly.

Pondus, are you using Hondata, or something else?

Just a VAFC 2 for now.

 

Can´t wait to see the video, hurry up !

I´m also thinking of this setup but it´ll be a tough and most of all
expensive to get this stuff here to Germany :/

 

Great setup Adam! I liked it off the header... Stop by and let me hear it sometime, you know where to find me....

 

Will do Steve. I honestly kinda miss the open-header sound...but the Fuji sound is great too, just not as raw and race-car-y As for the video, the weather totally blows tonight, so the vid will have to wait until tomorrow or something, but it'll definitely come up.

 

*bling*

welcome to the RM-01A club, destination...heaven

 

Vid added to first post, more to come later.

 

At one point I had a mugen intake, toda header, cat, and RM-01A.

Super Awesomeness.

 

I was waiting for a video to comment
Some of the best exhaust stuff you have on there, How smooth does the caR feel ?

 

Second vid up

As for smoothness, it feels really smooth, though VTEC hits pretty hard. I really can't wait to get it tuned, but even untuned it feels great. I could absolutely drive it like this every day.

 

running open header with no support at the bottom of header will also crack it, seen it happen with spoon and toda headers.

Well then, I'm glad I didn't do that too long

 

That sounds so deep, but not loud.
How about a video of you doing a drive by while wot ?

 

We were gonna do that, but couldn't find a good place today. Saturday I should be able to find somewhere.
