Default My first performance ITR part!!!

I finally got it in the mail today!





I have had my ITR for almost 3 years now and this is the first bolt-on I am installing on my motor. Until now, I have spent the majority of my time and money replacing worn or broken parts, buying really expensive tires for track days, auto-x, and DD (Advan A032R, Advan AD05/06, Advan AD07, Falken Azenis RT-615, and Toyo T1R) and beefing up the suspension. Next month, I am picking up my HyTech twin loop exhaust and maybe a Mugen Intake.

Here are a few of not so good pics of my car:

How long did it take to get it? I want to hear how long it takes for an "off the shelf" header to arrive.

You've chosen wisely:
-Learned how to drive before adding performance parts.(Which increase the learning curve)
-Bought quality bolt-on parts, yielding higher gains.

It took them about 5 weeks from the time I ordered the header and the exhaust. I guess they like my sob story, because they lost my order about 10 months ago.

i really don't see the point in arguing phrasing and words. to me off the shelf means its a standard design, its not made custom for the specific order. not physically taken off a shelf and loaded onto a truck.

anyways, enough of the toda vs. hytech, good purchase, i wish i could go back in time and start off with really high quality parts. cheap bolt ons are such a waste of money... but i was young. oh well. for me.

Well, I ordered it September 4th, just making the batch "quota". It was ready for ship on the 29 of September. I paid for it on the 3rd of October and it arrived on the 7th.

I know the coin you have spent, and plan on spending to complete the HyTech set-up. I PROMISE that you will not be disappointed. Mugen intake will complete the exact same set-up that i have. I made the decision long ago that i would never touch my internals, but would spend the coin i needed to purchase quality bolt-on parts. Nice purchase....really!

Thanks everyone. After these affirmations, I feel less worried about letting 1300USD go.

Good choice in parts, I made 196whp (with some tuning, 3 hours fiddling with a VAFC-II) with basically the same setup. Stock B18C6 with Mugen intake and Hytech header and exhaust, with cat. Made the car much more fun to drive, and especially after setting the VTEC x-over to 4500 the midrange improved a lot something you'll aprreciate out on the track.

I also like your CF hood, care to tell me who makes it?

I have the full Hytech header, car, exhaust setup as well. I love, still need to get my car retuned. I may switch to a mugen intake but the BPI intake seems to be working fine.
