Get headers + High flow cat worth it! First time I'm grinning in the CL9 since the MX5.
Next off the ranks intake!
just my 2c.
Thanks fatfish.

Which headers are they? That's suprising that the VSA would only come on during VTEC, the Euro's peak torque is much lower than that :p

oo, if its maxim, welcome to the club =D

Wheel spin is caused by sudden changes in torque. Not by peak torque.

Maxims it is! Such a Beautiful header!
Install was a pain though...
It's only the first mod, but boy, these + high flow cat make a difference.
Don't deny yourself biting the bullet on good quality headers.

Wheel spin is caused when torque surpasses the tyres' grip, doesn't have to be sudden.

The Euro doesn't enough torque to surpass the tyres grip except in 1st going slightly uphill. That's why it needs a sudden jump in torque to do so. That's what your RBC was doing before. Lose low rpm torque and gain high rpm torque, so the change is bigger when you hit 6000rpm.

Mine would shudder the whole way through 1st when stock :angel:

Now with flywheel I get that shudder the whole way through 1st, even with RBC :D

integral90 owned me.. :p

How would the maxim headers compare with the toda ones? Similar gains or?
