Okay, 2 hours and 45 minutes later we finally got the stock manifold off... now we have to get the 02 Sensor off the manifold, and start piecing things back together!

- nice.. im gonna install a POS dc header next weekend...
- reason for a DC header you ask?... it CAME with a wideband O2 I purchased from someone (already has a bung) and it wieghs less than stock... no HP at all
- it didn't even take me that long to take off my INTAKE manifold

It was hard removing the stock manifold without a lift. Not much room to move it about. We installed the Toda header from the top down. Scratched up my valve cover just a little bit

It started smoking like crazy when I started it up, usually normal for a new header but don't know about a used one.. maybe it was the metal polish I used on it? No, it smoked from the exhaust, not the engine bay.

Oh well. Performance? Well, I can feel mad pull y0 between 3000-5000, the only real noticeable difference, and when I hit VTEC it pulls hard, but I can't tell if its harder than before, I just noticed that it was just faaast :D

All in all, the header is kinda pricey, don't know if the gains will be worth it, but hell, I've purchased **** worse than this that gave no performance gains (JDM ITR Cosmetic Stuff).

Time for a dyno session!

yea...I could never live with myself if I bought that, but hey I am a college student and money is a concern. If I made more than enough to make that 900 look like 90, I would buy it too.
