I was just curious as to what people have used after installation to wipe down the header. I am very scared of leaving any type of residue after the installation. I really hope it comes out flawless. Thanx in advance

 

use rubber gloves, and brake clean/microfiber towel

 

Thanx man. I was considering the break cleaner, just wasn't sure.

 

Make sure you use gloves to install the header.
Once that is done, with the car jacked, spray it down with brake cleaner.
Use the microfiber towels to wipe it off and it will remove any fingerprints.

Just make sure you DONT start the car up after installation. If you do not use gloves, the oil from your fingers will get on the header, and the intense heat will make those fingerprints even worse and harder to remove.

thats my advice to you.

 

^Thanx again. Really appreciate the advice. I'm still gonna be scared as f*%# though lol

 

Keep it clean and oil free. It's the oils (finger or motor) that screws it up.

 

lets see sum pics after install!

 

Will do. Here is a before pic for now-

 

in for pics...looks like a very well put together setup

 

 

UH-OH, THE SPOON SPARK PLUG WIRES!!!!

my kiddracing headers are dirty....fingerprints, and oil stains everywhere.....

 

LOL at least they aren't accel wires.......

 

Looks like a clean engine bay, can't wait to see the header installed. Does toda require you to delete the cat like the hytech

 

Were you talking about me? I haz NGK's.

 

Got it on yesterday. Wiped it down like a million times an still got residual streaks that showed up today : (

The weird thing about is i popped the hood this morning an it looked fine. Then i went somewhere an decided to check it again an there they were. I hope there's a way to get the streaks off.

 

mmmm so fresh. i love hondas
pretty sure they're going to discolor no matter what. pretty much all headers do. unless toda's are made from some special composite

 

No cat delete but you must use the JDM cat.

 

where did you get the spoon wires and how much??

 

Opak Racing. $275 There no longer in business though.

 

im loving that header....:TU:

 

why do i get the feeling the op has spent a silly amount of money on this car

 

You would probably have a hard time finding someone one hondatech that hasn't spent a silly amount of money on their car. Lol

 

Super clean header... I never got a real race header. Curious to hear if it's worth it or not

 

i feel kinda dumb with my autolite wires lol

 

depends on your goals. the OP is an artist in the same way a comic book collector loves the mint #1 of his series, no one spends $200 on wires for any other reason than comic book collecting or bragging rights

if you're just after hp there are cheaper ways to go about it.
