I was going to, but the kit i pieced together ended up needing more fabrication than I had time for, so I gave up on that. I would recomend getting a complete kit. truehonda.com has one for around $3k, and there is a an instalation write up for it at 7thgencivic.com

I'll be running a setup almost identical to abmerop's on my D17. I have a complete list of parts and prices of what I have so far and what I need to get everything running. I should hav everything I need within the next month, but im not sure I want to install it just weeks before winter comes around.

For the Stafford kit . Probably one of the worst designed kits I've seen in a while.Poor ic design first off . Poooooor weld quality on well , everything. And the manifold is just jank. Is this the best kit available for the 7th gen cause I really do not want to have to fab a kit up for my car but the kits out there are looking few and far between. And when i do find one its like that. What are some GOOD kits please.

Didnt SCC give a GREAT review of the Edelbrock kit for the D series?

I remember them saying that EVERYTHING you need came with the kit.

sorry! I didnt think there would be that much difference.

I guess the engine management would be the big difference.....?

Is the D16 and D17 exhaust manifold flange the same so I can know now whether I need to design and have a flange machined or if I can just buy one for a D16 .

So I would still like to know the diff between the D16 and the D17. Other than the displacement. I guessing it is engine management......

Anyone?
