Nice color, but I think it attracts a little too much attention. Car looks real clean.

Chikara isn't bad, but that is only your A pipe, what you should look into is a Megan Racing header if you have a low budget. Or if you really want that Chikara see if you can find a Random Tech cat with the B pipe attached.

A mini-me is definately possible, all you would need is an EX cylinder head, ECU, and Vtec solenoids, I would check the FAQ on it make sure you dont need anything else. Definately do your research before you dive in.

Hi and thanks for the info! Do you have any recomendations on where to get a Megan Race header for my application with all the needed hardware and at a decent price? As far as the mini-me goes, I am reading as much as I can about the process... didn't realize how involved it actaully was though. I originally thought I just bolted on the new head and was done. I understand having to get the new ECU (I think) or can I jest get mine reflashed to make it work? If this is a bad idea or not possible then, sorry... I'm an ignorant newb (but want to learn)!

What solinoids do I need? I used to here my Dad talk about them when I was a kid but I am not sure where they are and which ones I need if more than one kind/place.

Thanks again,
Neo-Tracer

PS-Spelling might be shot on this post but I am beat!

If you are comfortable with Ebay, they will have good deals on there, otherwise just google Megan header and start clicking links and comparing.
After a quick look it seems Megan makes only for the EX, no problem, just pick up an EX cat-back exhaust at the same time, or look at other companies that make for the LX.

Need a new one, no one reflashes OBD2, you can find the ECUs on Ebay.

What solinoids do I need?
The Vtec solenoids.

If you have $40 go out ASAP and get a Chilton or Haynes manual, they are very helpful, and definately the best $40 bucks I spent on my car.

Hey again,

I was just informed from a guy that I work with that I just have an exhaust tip installed and not a cat-back. I was wondering how I can tell for myself or if he is just full of ****. If you need more pics or info just let me know.

Thanks,
Neotracer
