Installation

[Civicn33b]

First off I want to give props to Tai and Remmy for getting my RH shipped out the same day i ordered! Anyways, I have a quote from mahdavi Motorsports here in GA to install the header for $175 does this sound about right? I have very limited car mechanic knowledge so thats why I was thinking of having it installed, I was thinking about letting the install the TWM SS and bushings aswell but i think this could be done easily by myself!

do it yourself.there are a few d.i.y on here and some on fgcoupe.com.It shouldnt take you more than an 1 1/2 hours.As far as the bushings go I have never done those so im not sure but it cant be that hard .Save the money and by yourself a ETD.

Is the Torque Dameper which is what i think your referring to as ETD a good mod? I have thought about this a lot recently... I dunno about installing myself though, im affraid ill screw something up

the header is pretty easy to install, save you money and do it yourself.

The the SS takes all of 15-20 minutes to install VERY easy

Yes the Torque Damper = ETD. The instructions are pretty well written and it's really hard to screw something up. I didn't have a torque wrench and still was able to do it. There are a ton of threads on it if you want more info.

A racing header is not easy to install if you don't have the right tools and a lift. If you do not have access to lift don't even waste your time. You have to take peoples opinions on here with a grain of salt. Something that may be 'easy' for a service technician doesn't mean it is easy for the average Joe who only has a ratchet set, a driver and a car port. People like to say many installs are easy so they can portray some sort of competence. $175.00 is a reasonable price to install.

putting the bushings in made my car shift worse... becarefull, voids warrenty on Trans and Shifting linkage/cable

trust me just delt w/ honda over this issue

before i traded my other car in, i took it to the local muffler shop to have my header taken off and they charged me $100

i love my twm shifter cable bushings. i got the ss, base bushings , and cable bushings. just the cable bushings alone make a big difference, took me maybe 10 min or less. jus make sure you keep the stock bushings. if u need to take it in for tranny problems, put the stock one back in

Im an avergae joe and I installed my own header with a ratchet set and some jack stands.Almost every aftermarket part that is out for the Si can be installed in your garage with regular hands tools.
