LOL

For the longest time... I had a nasty rattle from 2500 to 3500 rpm on accelleration or deceleration. It was the most annoying thing. I could not cruise at 70mph... it was either 60 or 80... inbetween was embarassing. Shifting at 4k was just as bad... paper bag material guys... it wasn't me !

Anyways... after 3 muffler shops... 2 in the US and 1 local... I found someone that figured out the problem. The guy said the lower portion of my GSR header had it's internal piping disconnected somehow.

The guy cut a hole in the lower portion of the header and tacked the inner pipe.... VOILA !!! No more rattle !!! I am no longer an embarassment to civics everywhere...lol

X2

 

nice story, wrong forum, but how the hell did the inside of the header break...is it the header from the dealer?

 

my friend had his stock header crack and the dealership couldn't find a stock exhaust manifold, so they gave him a comptech header for free.

lucky SOB, it was under warranty and completely stock.

 

It's quite a common problem among Integras. The inner part of the manifold gets cracked. I had that problem until I went with aftermarket headers.....then to a turbo manifold.

 

never happen to me

You seem to have a case of the Noobies, pumpkin.

It's integra related and pretty relevant to someone that may have the same problem.... but thanks for playing

Really ? I've been thru 2 tegs and know lots of others with gsr's, itrs and LS's.... never heard of this happening to the stock B header.... I assume you've broken more than one...

 

Very very very common with 94-01 GSR's specifically due to the pipe-in-a-pipe design. The inner piece needs to be welded back to the outer pipe.

Correct. Acura even posted a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) regarding this problem.

 

Man that's crazy just like last week i put a post the same thing what you said. My car does that same thing. Annoying as none other. Just got to get a header that's what I'm doing

Just for the record...

WOO HOO... I love having no resonance/rattling... it's like I have a NEW CAR !!! yaaay....

I am so happy....had to let it out...

 

I'm awaiting a DC Header to solve this.

Do you know if Acura is suppose to fix this or if it falls under warranty? Does anyone have the offical technical bulletin for the 94-01 GSR's? I would like to print this out to show the dealer so they rethink charging me $660 for a stock exahust manifold replacement.
