I have a question for you about this car. Since it has a live rear-axle, does the inside rear wheel lift in a tight turn like VW GTI's do? Would love seeing that on our car. I do understand when auto-x'g you really dont want the suspension to get that "upset".

Went to a dyno day a couple months back. If hondata would make a flash pro for GE I'd estimate 120+.

12/09/14: Did valve adjustment and installed t1r header.



Didn't come with a donut gasket. Ended up pulling one off my stock b pipe.



Threw a CEL after about 25 miles. So I went to the local tuner shop and picked up a defouler.

took the header off.. too raspy for me. I was disappointed that no one had any videos for the t1r exhaust combo. it pretty much lead to my hasty decision to buy one from a&j racing. (a company im hoping to never have to do business with again.)

heres a picture for comparison.

Awesome mods, want the same exhaust setup as you except for the header. Quick question, why do you not want to do business with aj racing if you dont mind me asking(since i will be going through them for the racing converter and bpipe)

I am in no way speaking for OP as to why HE never wants to do business through them.

I on the other hand will never do business with them because in the past they've manufactured replica Spoon/J's parts and sold them as authentic J's/Spoon.

I waited for 5 months for my b pipe after being told it was already on a shipment headed to them and that I would have it in 1 month.
Same thing happened with my spoon front sway bar. I waited so long with no estimate of when I would receive it that I ended up getting a refund and ordering it from another company. It was delivered in 3 days!
During this dealing with them, I was emailing back and forth with their sales rep. He gave me a quote for the header shipped to my door. He also informed me that there were only 2 left. When I was ready to order, I made sure they still had them in stock. I was informed that they now had one left. When I was checking out on their website I saw that the total was higher than what I was quoted. I emailed the rep again and he told me that he would prices the order himself and adjust the price before shipping it. He may have processed it himself but he didn't adjust the price.
Through all of these transactions ive dealt with 4 different sales reps. I'm just glad that I'm not interested in any other parts that they sell for the fit so I'll likely never have to deal with them again.

Edit: I asked again today if they had any headers left. Surprise surprise. Just my luck! They still have a couple left in stock...
