Default Parts before Reflash...

What does everyone think- (especially those of you who have the hondata reflash done to their car)-
Here's the route I'm taking:
2006 SI Coupe- Already have AEM CAI- planning on doing header and exhaust, TB Spacer, intake manifold gasket, and then having the hondata reflash done.

My questions are- Which header and exhaust will work best in this setup? and- Will the TB Spacer effect the performance of the reflash? I've read on hondata's site that they recommend the I/H/E, but i didn't see anything mentioned about the spacer. Any info would be great- Thanks.

Man I'm about to get the vibrant rh w hfc, I already have their exhaust i love it. Loud in the car, no burner sounding outside compared to other exhaust like the skunk2 I highly recommend them.

why wouldn't you just hack a small section of the intake so that it no longer hits the hose? instead of having to drain your coolant to replace a radiator hose that was designed for the car

never seen how bad it rubs or what you have to work with but it's just a suggestion that might help you out (doubt it though haha)

Or even buy a better rad hose altogether. If people would do their research would find out that adding the spacer to a car with a CAI wouldn't yield any power gains nor would adding the CAI to a vehicle already equipped with the spacer.
