ITRCA

I have no doubts that the mugen is higher quality, but on the same token, for as much money as it costs, it had better be...that, and it should come home and do your laundry as well... I think that any good body shop can make it work, almost regardless of quality, it's just a matter of how much mone...

I think most of us would like one, and I believe Trey has been working on it, but it's one of those things that's gonna take a little while...just stay tunned, and they'll be ready shortly...

They're all fiberglass any way, even the Mugen one...

If it is fake it's one of the better ones that I've seen...now you've got me wondering...who does make it???

Normally I'd agree, but some of the fastest all motor drag cars, such as Erick Aguilar's is acutally side exit, well kinda...though I'm sure that it wasn't done that way to purposely exit out the side, I think the way the headers are shaped in some of the drag cars I've seen, it's just more efficien...

I assume he means after replacing the timing belt...

Though, he's lucky that his motor runs at all, let alone on two cynlinders...

If you look on http://www.Hytechexhaust.com and then look under the Honda link...the drag header is side exit...Either way, I hope you realize how unbelievably loud that header would be... Most exhausts that you see coming out the front bumper, are off of turbos, or just a very long header...I have ...

But it is a different header...correct????

They're not only different, I don't know how he took one off a GS-R, as it wouldn't fit on an ITR???? I think perhaps just the top piece might, though I've never tried...but for sure the bottom piece is a different length due to the cat...or at least mine didn't fit on my friend Mike's 96 GS-R...Eit...

Yeah, for real...aside from that, I used to work in the car business, and it's so easy to wash a title, that regardless if you get a carfax, or otherwise...you'll still really never know for sure... If the car runs, and looks good, then more than likely, it's ok...take it to an Acura dealer for sure...

You can't right now, at least until we can resolve the issue with putting some sort of size limitation on the avatars....hopefully soon.

Trey would be the person to ask about that.

Sorry....

Well, I really have no clue, but if I were to guess, I'd say no more than like 170lbs total..., it's not really weight so much, it's just the fact that it's all awkwardly shaped and very big... I'd imagine that any place that sells them would be able to tell you their approximate combined weight... ...

No sounds clips, but I have heard it one my friend Darren's car; he works at Pacific performance in Ft. Lauderdale...they sell that exhaust there...if you call, tell him I sent you and he might hook you up...It sounds good with the baffle in, but a little loud without... As far as 190+ with bolt one...

Believe it or not, the whole conversion wil fit in the trunk of an ITR if positioned correctly....

We did it...just a matter of stacking stuff in the right order.....

I'd honestly recomend the OEM ones either way...I was saying that they are a little more difficult to install, although, more than likely, it's your body shop that'll have to deal with it any way...Either way, keep in mind, that the OEM hids are really expensive, if you're looking for them new, you ...

I'm not exactly sure how much shipping would be, although, I'm sure that if you send anything from the states via truck freight rather than UPS or Fed-Ex, you'll save your self hundreds and hundreds of dollars. I sent my whole motor via truck freight including an extra head and a couple boxes. The t...

very good point...there is something to be said for pushing up the rpm some in order to stay in a higher power band...as for most cams, you'll still make more power even after the power curve starts leveling off or even dropping, then you will three or four thousand rpm lower in the rev range... Lat...

Tanabe for sure...I love the Tanabe Hyper Medalion...I think it's one of the sweetest exhausts out there, but pretty much any of their exhausts are nice and well made...The racing medalion is a bit on the loud side though...

I'm pretty sure, even with the boost option, you can still use it for all motor, I guess you just don't use the boost option, though I'm sure either way, i you call Matt at Hondata, he'll be able to help you with it. As far as some other options go....cheap way, although I'm not a big fan of it...a ...

Well...if you're talking about stock it's hard to say, you can rev it up to 10K or maybe even 11k all the time, but eventually it's gonna break something...it's more a matter of consistancy than a one time thing. I'd say your stock valve train will do 9K regularly without breaking, more than that, a...

There are a couple little shops down here in South Florida that have...I know Evolution imports down here has imported like a half dozen non-chopped CTR's, and although I'm not sure, I think they also brought a DC5-R or two. Next time I'm donw in the Miami area, I'll try and get some shots or video ...

You use a philips head screw driver, just insert it where it through the little plastic slots, make sure it's a large philips, otherwise you'll just succeed in striping it out. I don't exactly remember which direction to turn it or which one it is, but just do it at night against a flat wall, and yo...

There, there are some differences between the J-spec motor and the US spec motor, the main difference are the pistons, and in some of the older US spec motors cams as well...Other than that, for the most part, they are the same. As far as hitting 200whp, you will empty your wallet to some degree, bu...

I changed it back, it's not an MOV file, it is an MQV file (Sony Palm Video file), and it seems to work fine on my friends Alex's computer, so I know it's not the hyperlink...Sorry guys, not sure what to say...

Not sure, cause from my PC it works fine??? I'll try it from another PC and try and fix the problem...but the code is correct...

I happen to like the bronze rims personally, but i guess it's a pretty subjective question...
