hey so i didnt click on the link. i didnt go that far down to see the link. dont be a punk about it! pero eso es otra cosa, i did get the plugs but my next question(i didnt find the answer after i read around) is about the gasket. one kit comes tappered and doesnt need one. the other is flat and has one. which is better or there really aint no prefrence? will a thread sealer be benificial?
im sure this will work after reading many testimonials. thanks to all for the help. respeto!

It doesn't matter which kit you use....they both work the same....just follow the instructions exactly as posted in that link, and you'll be fine....and there's no need to use the washer/gasket thingies....

I personally used p/n 42002 (the one that comes WITHOUT the washer/gasket thingies), and I didn't need to use thread locker/sealer....it works just fine....

yes. success! it does work. just installed it last night and seems all good for now. i especially like this test pipe cause it has the tabs to bolt up the og heat shield. might not pass the sniffer test but it will on the visiual. sweet. nice tone is created now but i like the og rumble better, it was deeper. still happy with the extra pull.
--what are the pro's and con's with lower the vtec setting?

That sounds like a cheap alternative.
dont u roll ur eyes at me, only bitches roll their eyes!

anyways it cost me $6.75 which is probably $2 more then the do it yourself method. heres a pic

I don't think so, the opening to the sensor will still be too wide. The whole point to the other simulators is to "fool" the sensor, not letting all the gasses flow through, that is why they have smaller ports. I could be wrong, but I think this is how it works.
