WARNING: With the HP full header with high flow cat, you will need to purchase a EX sway bar and a EX exhaust, and shave one of your motor mounts. Just making sure you know[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 well i kinda did buy an ex exhaust foreseeing that i would have to get it anyways for the header and ex exhausts don't fit on lx models. the pipe was 4 feet short. i'd have to make an extra pipe and it'd be all messed up. so i returned my skunk2 for the thermal.
is there a header that will just go right on with no problems at all.
and i really wanna know where i get get my head port and polished? and will a AEM cam gear fit my lx? i'm being lazy and decided not to search.

Rep Power: 0 <<u have to get an ex exhaust if u want the HP header? what if u have custom piping.....
explain please >>
On the DX and the LX, the cat is located on the header, wayyyy closer than on the EX. The overall stock header is much shorter. Therefore, when you buy an EX exhaust for a DX/LX you have to get custom piping to extend it that extra several inches. Conversely, when you put an EX header on a DX/LX suddenly your exhaust is too long.
<<i didn't have to shave anything.>>
Really? Did you have to rock the engine back or anything? Or it just slipped right in? I thought a lot of people had mentioned what a pain in the [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] it was to install the HP because of the shaving
