Yeh I got a aftermarket exhaust. It does get louder. U think it loose? It not a grip issue cause I drive it easy when it happens.

If it's an O2 sensor issue, then it's fine as you'll be running rich. Since you're running rich, don't rev your engine too high as you may cause damage.

They are a good idea as they keep the load off the wheel nuts! plus they keep your wheel turn true!

Get them from most tyre shops!

I'm running spoon calipers at the front. the rotors' size remain the same as OEM.
yes TE37s, but I can't remember what size is the hub ring :zip: any tyre place should be able to find one to match

I have experienced this exact problem, it's tires not gripping. It happened to me the first day I got my car and I was like 'WTF??" because I wasn't use to the shifter yet i accidently went into 1st out of 4th thinking it was 3rd, made the car shake exactly like what you are talking about.

Hey guys here is a thread that is on the intergra section. This is inregards to that vibration/noise when u drive in the wet

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80848

its the exact same problem as us. When u have a after market cat back exhaust and u drive in the wet, the rain gets in and "sizzles" u could say and it makes weird noises. My car b4 use to sound like a loud v8 when i went through big puddles. I found if i drive easy it prolonged this from happening but it stills happens in the end so my thoughts that driving easy meant that the exhaust pipe didnt heat up as much. This was all fixed once i got my new headers installed. Not sure why though, mayb the different metals butting up next to eachother :S no idea to b honest. But yeah so far since my headers have been installed i havent had the problem happen while driving through the rain
