I like it, a lot :D

Thats nice man. Where did u get the lips from? Do you have to spray them?

thanks :))))))))

thanks i got my lips of ebay because there cheaper to buy i got both front and rear lip for $145 delivered to my door xD and i havent painted them you can if you really waant to but i just left it for now :)

Hi mate ,

would you mind to share which eBay seller did you buy the header and CAT from? Also, lips from eBay too, how's the fitment?

cheers

no worries :)

front and rear lip http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/300539169...84.m1497.l2649

headers and cat http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/320704148...84.m1497.l2649 two problems i must warn you with the headers and cat first when i installed it they were pushed the stock exhaust a few inches back which was a pain to put in but i ended up cutting and welding a section just to get by before i got my cat back done the next day because it pushed the rest of the exhaust that far back it was rubbing on the fuel tank :s second problem is it does sit low and had to cut and weld a flex pipe to give it some movement and bend it up so the rest of the exhaust can sit nice and tucked away this is what i mean :)

Thanks mate :)

if i'm getting the header, i'll leave it to the muffler shop to do or the work. once again, thanks for the info, i'll pass it on to the muffler shop too

Cheers

by the way.

- feel any difference in power or toque after the new header put in?
- also, lip kits from eBay fit ok?

Cheers

hey man is the rear one on? i cant tell.

no worries glad to help :)

with a naturally aspirated engine its hard to feel the power but i think i freed up some extra HP and torque :) did it to make it breath better and all i really want was a little more sound and now i recon it sounds pretty sweet with the system i got :) not to loud not to quiet
but my civic doesnt sound like a civic if you have heard it haha

the front lip pretty easy 4 self taping screws and the rear i havent had time to put it on but heard its a little harder havent tried yet lol

Hellomotog its not at the moment havent had time to put on

Thanks again
