top speed header

UPDATE!

Bentusi123, I change the flex pipe today (again), this time to a larger flex pipe and the sounds pretty much disappeared! The response is pretty good down low. I would imagine it will improve over the next few weeks after the ecu adapts to the change.
Since u are in Sydney as well, there are a few good exhaust shops u can get the flexi replaced. I highly recommend the one i went to in northmead called Performance Exhaust. Great service and they do a superb job! :thumbsup: Let them know Wes recommended u so maybe they can do a better deal for u.
Get the flexi changed and u should be pretty happy ;)

How much was it ( im trying to get quotes atm) and what was the type and diameter of the new flex ( so i can ask for same) ??
cheers

Suntzu, im not sure the exact size. Most TSX members change it to the 2" by 6" double braided flexi. However, my exhaust guy changed my header outpipe to a larger diameter so its going to be different.

For urself and Bentusi123, a 2" diameter would be the perfect fit. Length wise would be 6". Ask Aaronng as well cos he got his replaced last week as well.

In terms of price, i think it was broken down to about $110 supplied and fitted for the flexi.

I will see if i can get under the car to measure the length of the flexi...will get back to ya ;)

i may consider back to stock and buy a J'S racing header, haha.
ok, im going to one of the muffler guy near me on next week, and see if he have some idea for my problem.
cuz i dont want spend too much on modify, otherwise, i just goning for other new header than.
anyway, im going on next week, see what happened.
just hope u have the brand for ur pipe, so i just ask for the same one.
so, basicly, i just need change my pipe than and how took u for this job?

DBW is an electronically controlled throttle, this means that when you press the accelerator the ecu calculates how much to open the TB and then opens it.

Thats why there is a lag between the time you press and the time you actually start accelerating.

^ Bentusi123, I dont think there was a brand name for the flexi. I just measured the size and it was about 6" in length. If you want to find out, call Performance Exhaust at Northmead.
If the exhaust guy couldnt fix it today, i would probably gone with toda but just couldnt justify the money spent on an auto cl9 :(

my one is auto as well.
i will try to find out, and have u have any cooling bandages around the header? someone told me i should have this on to block the hot air which made by the header.
BTW, does JDM Accord Euro R K-Series Intake Manifold (RBC) make a performance for auto euro?
Northmead....-_-! too far away man.

YES! RBC will increase 5-7kw atw on both manual and auto...

(speaking from experience/research... but no guarantee lol)

thats a great news. and do i need adjust my computer if i change to RBC?
is it necessary to change the computer when change input and output part
?

nope... ECU will relearn the new intake manifold... to speed up the process you could take it to honda and get them to do an idle relearn procedure... or you can just drive it normally for a few days :thumbsup:

are u guys talking about changing to the cl7 intake manifold?
How much are they and where to source? If the gains are that much wouldnt mind doing it myself :D
Want more response down low and torque!! mmmmmm :thumbsup:
