I want to order part 7/8 (not sure which is for my 92 RS), but I can't from any of the sites I've seen. WTH is it and where can I get one?


Steve

 

that's a pipe you'd use instead of a catalytic convertor. search for "test pipe." i think OMNI makes one and i'm sure they're not the only ones.

i dunno how FL compares to CA for smog, but removing the cat would definitely not pass smog here.

 

i hate those little numbers......i can't find 7/8!

I concur. I can not see those numbers on my little 17" monitor.

 

looks like a flange

yeah, but his point is that although you can see the parts in the picture, they aren't available to order below.

i think this has to do with your selections on the parts page. if you pick KL5MT, then you can only order parts that are for a CA-legal car. i'm not 100% sure on this, tho, cuz i never look for parts for anything else, but it sure sounds good!

oh, and the parts he's referring to are the straight pipes just to the right of the exhaust manifolds.

 

I'm pretty sure Acura doesn't sell testpipes lol

 

It's definitely NOT a test pipe. It looks like an extension from the stock header to the cat.

For those that replaced their header, did it bolt RIGHT to the cat or was this "spacer" used still?

If it deletes it, I'll just get a new header then.


Steve

 

The reason I'm asking is because I bought a new cat online and it's about 4 or 5" short of the stock header. My stock exhaust was a complete pile of rusty **** so I tossed it all. I'm guessing I need this part but I can't find it online or anywhere else for that matter.

Steve

 

well, here's a pic of my 92 LS with DC sports header. this is why I figured that part is meant to replace your cat. it looks like it's either part 7, or part 8, or the cat. I had my header swapped at a shop while they were replacing my transmission, so I never saw what they took off.

 

Now, if someone could post a pic of the stock header...that would be a great comparison.

I have an aftermarket cat, so it's kind of hard to tell from the pic. (But it's looking promising.)


Steve

 

Browsing Ebay, I came across these 2 aftermarket headers.





In the second picture, the mounting tab is further away from the "cat connection" and looks to eliminate said piece. However, the pics shown are RARELY for the actual piece.

Any help on this would be great.

Steve

 

i dont have a pic or anything but i think that is just an extention of the stock header, i think some cats and some headers are longer or shorter. i think it is acts like a spacer. if someone has pics of stock header on the car i think we will figureout whats up.

 

bump?


Steve

 

Just for fun...try barancoacura.com if not, call them and talk to Len.

 

Out of those two ebay headers, I think the first one is for a GSR, and the 2nd for an LS.
Because they're different lengths, that's the reason you can't mix&match gsr exhausts with ls headers and vice versa.

 

Eh, I just ordered a new header.

Funny thing is, I wanted this car as a daily driver and will have done IHE before it ever hits the road.

/sigh....
