that lip looks great im thinking of picking that up! only problem is its not OEM.
it looks like it fits great but its missing the rubber gasket between the lip and bumper, that the OEM has.

that lip will scratch your bumper if you ever take it off, you will see the scratches
you should see my front bumper. its scratched to hell, when the lip got ripped off, it clawed my bumper real well.

ARG! Can't. The fiance would have my balls. I'd rather keep my balls than have a new exhaust
Why? You're not going to need them after you're married anyway.

thanks ruben,

Im going to be keeping the stock header. or wait tell one comes out that yield great power and isnt an Arm & a Leg.

but yea i know exactly what your talking about with the smooth transitions.


you and quick both went to spugen. so what your pretty much saying is..... stay away from spugen? ahaha
hmmm I wonder how well a 3" sstem would work wth stock header in place? Can't wait to see the numbers with that set-up.

As far as spugen goes....
I've seen their exhausts and I think tey make great systems. If your going to buy a system they have on the market then great, but as far as having them make a custom system in house...well that's a different story. If it's custom then basically I would say become a bitch and stick your noise into every little thing. Make sure every thing they do is exactly how you want.

Hey it's your money paying for it, so it should be your word on how it gets done.

By the way I know I don't use you guys's lol names, but it's confusing when their are ....um...what is it now 10 Nates!!!!!!

Nah its just me and wildcard i believe.

I could be wrong.

but I forgot to post this up for some reason in the last post http://www.carxccessory.com/flocu-r3025.html

It dosent say weather its steel, stainless or what?

but I have been doing some trolling on Clubrsx and it looks like the RSX guys are usinf 3inch without any problems.... i know they probly have better low end and mid range with I-vtec, but right now im mainly wanting top end power.

^ I know you and wildcard are both Nate's, but could have sworn there was another.

Wow looks like you found a perfect piece, especially since it'll be from the stock header to that. Try emailing them to find out if it's stainless. although who knows how long before they answer.

Mid range shouldn't be a problem especially since almost anyone that gets a tune drops VTEC to around 4500 anyway, and if your racing anywhere below that then you aren't racing.

every sduece is different. i've got mine at 5600, and if i set it below 5400 my car has a fit! it hates it. AP2's on the other hand LOVE to have vtec set nice and low. you have to remember that the cams are designed to work at certian RPM range and if the motor isnt spinning that RPM, then the cam's lift/duration isnt effective at low RPMs.

Version, I got my OEM front lip off ebay from flagstaff honda. 350 painted and shipped, not too bad considering MSRP is $500. Just throwing that out there in case you can't find anything else!
