Headers installed! All by myself! pics...
 
Just installed my megan racing headers after i got home today, got em on ebay for 65 dollars... what a steal. anywho, took me about an hour alone in my garage, not hard at all really... runs great. despite what all u people will say, i can definetely feel a power increase, and it was well worth the money. I have now joined the I/H/E club, and im likin it... it was WELL worth the money for the I/H/E since i spent... $75 on the AEM SRI off ebay, $65 on the Megan headers off ebay, and a total of $0 on the GReddy EVOII exhaust (traded my stock catback for it... what a deal.) :D anywho, heres the pics, questions, comments, concerns? heh...

I think im gonna get an AEM cold air intake off a member on this site, that should help out a little more... boy i wish i could go boost, got the money but sadly, :_doh: my father wont let me :mad: :mad: :mad:

fuzzylogic426 10-12-2005 07:11 PM

pretty sweet. hey, we got the same spoiler! hehe

PlasmaGT 10-12-2005 07:32 PM

header.

drew22mader 10-12-2005 07:32 PM

Nice man, but that spoiler just takes away from the beauty of the car. Also we only have 1 header, not headers. heh

jbrown59 10-12-2005 07:32 PM

personally i dont like the spoiler in back...but good work on startin custom mods. I have aem v2 cai, dc ss headers and greddy evo II also.

Zeppelin8778 10-12-2005 07:33 PM

uh... multiple pipes, 4 to be exact. each one is a header pipe. headers. =P actually im probably wrong... but whatever, everyone calls em headers.

drew22mader 10-12-2005 07:37 PM

lol, the 4 pipes don't make it headers, its all one unit, referred as a header.

Zeppelin8778 10-12-2005 07:39 PM

yea i figured some people here wouldnt like the spoiler, ive been flamed lightly for it before, but i love it, and everyone i know (at my school and such) has had nothing but good things to say about it cept 1 or 2 of my friends who are totally against car modding... heres a few more angles, maybe ull like em better?

Zeppelin8778 10-12-2005 07:40 PM

alright fine :p u win. header. live and learn. headers still sounds better :rofl:

robo1040 10-12-2005 08:23 PM

dammit. i wanted to be the first one to say header. oh well, next you need to take out that cadillac converter!:screwy:

skipbarber 10-12-2005 08:42 PM

why did you change your tails to the older version?

dirtySAMURAI 10-12-2005 08:44 PM

cadillac? dude, you're boosted. you should know it's a catalytic converter.

Zeppelin8778 10-12-2005 08:47 PM

he was being very sarcastic. hence the ":screwy: " after it, he was meaning to make fun of people who call it that. yea sorry guys, header jesus shoot me haha... oh and i changed to the old tails cuz i saw these for sale from fraga and i was like woa, those are tight, so i bought em. i think they are unique and tight lookin with the NHBP paint on em. i also like how the old tails look illuminated, with the C's as opposed to the knew ones that are just litte blocks... what is the obsession with 04 tails?! they are BORING!

:hithead: you just totally killed my joke! i know what it is but 50% of the people on this site dont, i thought i was funny since it was also said that a civic has headers :shrug:

robo1040 10-12-2005 08:50 PM

im sorry ill stop haha

Zeppelin8778 10-12-2005 08:51 PM

GAHHH ENOUGH ABOUT THE HEADERS THING JEEEESUS, 75% of the people on here call em that anyways :_doh:

mxcivic 10-12-2005 08:58 PM

hey man r those things in your headlights eyelids ?

jamesandrew58 10-12-2005 09:02 PM

any1 know where i can get that wing... the dude says its a modified DC5-R wing which was cut in the middle and a peice was taken out and molded back together. i would like to know where to get that wing

Zeppelin8778 10-12-2005 09:04 PM

yes they are eyelids, and i believe thats how transform spoilers did it back when they were still around? anyone else got any more information for him? support them DC5-Rs!

Killacamshaft 10-14-2005 11:25 AM

for some strange reason i like the wing

nick95673 10-14-2005 11:31 AM

not on a front wheel drive car. it just doesnt look right. its like me (245lbs and it aint muscle) lacing up track shoes.

Danger Mouse 10-14-2005 11:52 AM

nice.. just remember that it is Singular and not Plural... Vic only have one header comming out of them.. good luck on the Vic

SimonTek 10-14-2005 12:26 PM

If your bored since the tailights look like C's You could spell CIVIC on the back, using the backwards C like in the new commercials.

I have over :hithead: tighten one of the top two bolts on
my MEGAN minifold and its now proper loose...

does any one... well there must be some one
knows or have any idea how to resolve this
problem......?

I wanted to use the same bolt if posible.....

Civic_RedLine 10-14-2005 01:03 PM

just wait til you join the turbo club.
that is much more enjoying than an i/h/e combination.
I learned the hard way, either turbo or nos or nothing else..

zzsupermanzz15 10-14-2005 01:10 PM

hey i just realized u have 01-03 tailights on ur 04, like me! ahah we're like the only 2 that ive seen so far. are ur taillights smoked? or is it overlays?

Zeppelin8778 10-14-2005 01:15 PM

yea i really wanna go boost, i think im gonna try to convince my dad some more, i had a turbo setup all ready to buy then he said no at the last minute (kinda sad)... but ya its actually custom paint on the taillights, its NHBP on the spots that dont have light shining through. i think it looks rad. Fraga had it done when someone hit his rear bumper or something and he had to have it repainted. they had extra paint and he decided to put it on the taillights, so its a perfect match.

hey good idea spelling CIVIC on the back with the last one a backwards C like the new civics... i may have to do that but ide have to think about how to make it look good.

HondaChevy 10-14-2005 01:59 PM

that would look sick with the widebody kit.

Zeppelin8778 10-14-2005 02:16 PM

oooo... never thought about that? what widebody u talkin about? what widebody kits are for sale for my car?

I used a hard metal drill bit and an easy out. It is a tool the is used for pulling stuck screws and bolts. I bought both at sears for 9 dollers. the longers part was taking everything out of the way. removal of the stud took 5 min. room is limited so if you have a dremmel I would use that. I used an air drill cause its small size. Did not have to pull the head though
