I'd need to check exactly what the permissions are set to allow, but I'm pretty sure that has to do with your current post count. Once you post more you should be able to post pics, or you could load them up on photobucket and img link them.

Nope, no bypass valve, so I will be using it as a SRI. Not sure if I want to make it a CAI.

It was local. The guy had sold his civic and it was just laying around. He even threw in a K&N air filter kit with it.

My SRI makes really nice music when it gets above 6400 The difference before and after is instantaneous and very noticeable!
Side note, me and my cousin have the same intake. He's got an 03 ex manual and me an 01 LX auto, and it sounds deeper on the auto.

Not really trying to blow it... just driving it harder than normal lately... I haven't ever bounced it off the limiter and I kinda wanted to see what it sounded like first hand I guess. If it does blow however no big loss LOL. There is a noticeable loss of power after about 6700 rpms or so.. I'm suprised how much you can feel it.

115k miles on a stock D17 + a rev limiter can mean bad things

I am afraid to hit the red zone. That 6500 was my first attempt : )

I hit 5000rpm very often but rarely hit the 6000 range. I am afraid of losing control since I don't trust my car's suspension at all.
