hp racing header question....
I have a quick question that I can't seem to get a strait answer on. I have a 2003 Civic ex coupe automatic. I want to install these headers but before I do I want to know if I need to shave one of the motor mounts. I really don't want to since it will probably void my warranty. Please let me know if I need to cut those motor mounts on my car. Thanks for all your help.

i thought it was the automatics that didnt need to shave the motor mounts for the hp header? there was even a DIY for it on a manual sedan?? =|
scizod, dont get too hype off a header and expect great gains, header for our cars (assuming you have a 01+ vic) doesnt do much IMO. its been proven by real people and no bogus company charts. unless you think a realistic 1-2hp gain is alot? if your trying to squeeze as much as possible, i guess it could be worth it depending how you see it.
but good brands of header are:
-hp (recommend the full race header if your not worried about emissions)
-kamakazie* www.bigjoshracing.com
-topspeed (rumors has it that its basically HP with their tag on it)
-dc full race? (recently came out)
-megan racing? i would go this route instead of no name header on eBay
-then the cheapo eBay ones

well that is a hp racing header i got on my car!
1 pic : 2 place where i needed to cut out some metal because else you wil find out!
2 pic : removed the front motor mount so you can get the header trough the little space you got!
3 pic : explains enough though
4 pic : motor mount back on!!
Well the DIY said you need to shave of some of the motor mount but that
was because he kept the motor mount on and i just simpel removed it!
