I am installing some mods this weekend and would like to know the difficulty level (1-10), with the install process. I am not a mechanic by any means, but I have done some mods on my old civic in the past, mostly cosmetic stuff. Please let me know what difficulties you encountered, if any, when you did the install that might help me avoid the same thing. Thanks in advance.

*Fujita SRI
*DCRH
*Vibrant Exhaust

 

Intake = 2
DCRH = 9
Catback= 4

 

SRI= 1
DCRH=5
Cat back exhaust=2

SRI install should take less than an hour,
DCRH intall should take less than 3 hours
Cat back exhaust install should take less than 2 hours

 

Intake=1 (simple hand tools and 6 pack beer)

Catback=2 (penetrating spray for bolts, impact gun, unless you are Hercules, should also get another 6 pack)

Header=9-9.5 (penetrating spray, combo of impact gun, ratchet, and several extensions, lots of patience or case of beer)

Good luck w/ the mods, you should love it afterwards.

 

Factor in if you've driven it for a while and the bolts may be rusted, you should get new hardware as well and plan on PB-blasting them.

Should be far, far less for a cat back.

Those bolts are a bitch, and if you aren't using a lift, it's even more so. 2 hours is a good estimate!

 

Thanks guys. Sounds to me the header is gonig to most difficult to install. Is it a good idea to install a defouler as well?

 

yes or you will get a CEl

Thanks guys. Do you know the p# for the defouler? I assume I can get one from Advanced or any auto part store.
