DC5 BASE HEADERS /EXHAUST/CAI Q's!
Hi guys ,
I've got a luxury base 06 dc5 and need help with a couple of things.
1) Installed injen cai the other day, but in the process of doing so accidentally snapped the air temperature sensor. Now the sensor wasn't snapped clean off and there are no engine lights on the dash, however should I just replace the sensor? It'll cost $95 from Honda, havent been able to find any wreckers parting that.
2) Ive got a custom 2.5 inch cat back, however its not producing the loud crisp sound that I want it to produce. It's a humming sound. So will installing headers and a hi flow cat help? (I know ill be spending at least another grand for little hp gains but I really love that crisp sound).
If so, should I go for an xforce header with a built in hi flow cat or PLM headers where most likely, Ill be purchasing an xforce cat in addition ?
3) Just on the topic of sound and CAI, for a base model when i fitted the injen cai, I did not notice a vtec cross over? Is this just the unfortunate build of a dc5 base engine? Didnt notice a louder sound either pass 4000 rpm.. Maybe set up was incorrect?
If anyone can help me out with this, I'd greatly appreciate it
Henry
