yeah, the brown interior you talking about is titanium colored. wish black was available for all the colors. i've raced my car many times but never have dyno'ed it. wanna get at least race header and exhaust before i do. my hondata and v2 intake isn't enough for me right now.

Great car, I'm also glad to see 40+ posts and no haters trying to start s***. Do have a question for rsx.freak79 though--- why'd you get kicked off the rsx forum? What's that about?

i think i'm gonna keep it N/A. thinking about getting dc race header, greddy exhaust, IPS cams, AEM CAI, and some other stuff.
I wish I could get a dc race header (damn 50 state emission vehicle)
my vehicle is a 50 state emission vehicle as well.

just get a 4-1 header when they come out....according to dc they give you 7.5hp and 11.7lb of torque.

here's the link....just click on the dyno charts. http://www.dcsports.com/product_headers_app.asp
Don't you live in california? If you put a race header on you still can pass emissions but not the visual. Tennesse requires emissions so I am not sure how that will work if I get that kind of header. I plan on getting the tc tunerz header b/c it has a high flow cat. It dynos at 7hp more also but tq I am not sure and I will still pass emission and visual.

yeah, i live in cali but what people here do is weld just the cover of a converter onto the pipes to make it seem like they have one. and for passing smog, guys around here will pass anything for $100.

the 4-1 header will pass smog as well and also has a carb # so it will be legal.

you should do the same and weld on the cover of a converter to your race header and find a shop that will pass it for smog. you don't have to smog your car for awhile anyways so you will be straight.

The dc header for the tc doesn't have a carb number b/c its not carb legal. I forgot to mention that the cat in the header of the tc is the primary cat and has the o2 sensor before and after. The o2 sensors are only on the header cat.

Yeah it does but the tc tunerz header actually does help vs the stock header. It has a high flow cat and doesn't throw a cel. I am waiting to hear if it has a carb number or exemption on it though.
