The install was a horrible experience. I ended up stripping one of the bolts because the three bottom holes did not line up properly:Mad: I ended up using studs for the bottom 3 holes to match the top holes. IMO that is how it should have come from the factory. I also was a little annoyed about having to go hunt down bolts and gaskets for this $800 header. So i bolted it up to the stock exhaust, Cranked it up i noticed the stock exhaust had a little deeper rumble from the rear but if you stand by the car or listen you can hear a tinky sound. Sounds like the "wonderfully crafted" springs are rattleing a little bit. I had a feeling this would happen. Doesn't bother me enough to pull it off and wrap it though. So, i take it down the rode get on it i notice it pulls a little harder in VTEC but other than that i am quite dissapointed in the power. I know it made more power, just not what i was expecting i guess. THe catless odor will take some getting used to. I will say this on a positive note, the header is top quality as far as welds and craftmanship.
I do notice a slight rattle when i crank the car or i shift hard in between gears, Would the ingalls torque dampner help this??
If feels as if it is bottlenecking, and i am not seeing the headers full potential, will an aftermarket exhaust make it run smoother??
