got my MagnaFlow catback and K&N CAI installed in my 04 DX today. only took about 2 1/2 hrs. everything bolted up nice but had to remove the tower strut bar cause it wouldnt clear the CAI intake. Had to buy a new exh flange gasket (didn't come in exhaust kit) but everything else went ok. Sounds good, nice low growl, I have no idea if there is a power gain yet, but am taking a road trip soon with lots of hills and curves and I'll be able to tell then. thanks for all the advice I got on HCF.

its easier to simply remove the fuse... then you dont need to reset your head unit and clock..etc..

Which plug or fuse is it exactly that you have to disconnect? I need to do this for my civic soon so your help will be greatly appreciated.

A picture maybe, of the ecu on an 05 civic lx would be great so i know what fuse it is exactly that you need to pull out.
