i just had mine installed..... b/c of the shape, it involved taking one of the engine mounts off . .anyone else?
I was almost going to do that or remove the very last 2 header bolts on the engine.

I ended up loosening the engine mount >tilting the engine with the jack >wiggling the header to it's position.

It's doable, but not as ease as removing the OEM header, that's for sure.

I got it in with the car about 12 inches off the ground (from the jack points). Scratched it up a bit. Not looking forward to taking it off.

Had mine installed a few days ago and I really like the sound of the car now while in VTEC. It seems to have gotten louder and with a tougher tone.

The welds on this header are uglier than $h!t though.

I think everyone that has dynoed has been unimpressed. I know I was.

10hp gain midrange, 5hp loss up top. Would be a great header for SC though.

Even after installing a 70mm exhaust after the header and test pipe?
