TriggArisE

ordered vibrant headers =]

dentinger

nice!!
pm me about them when you get them installed. i was talking to a guy who wants to get them, but is afraid they would be too loud...

oh, and i installed my CAI today!
wasnt that hard.... just a bit of a pain getting the air box resonator off. took me (and 2 friends) about an hour and a half to do it

TriggArisE

will it really be that much louder than just my exaust alone? will it be annoying loud? or will it sound good..?

dentinger

i dunno, i was asking u for ur opinion,
but my friend, (who wants to install them) said they make the exhaust louder, apparently...

but i tihnk i want a set of headers now too :P

oh, and if you find them too loud, can i have first dibs on them?? :P
and how much u pay for them, i read $590 on the vibrant website

J-Protege

Not annoying, but yes louder. Not as loud as a catback, but you should be able to hear it.
Makes the engine sound mean, not like a civic, haha.

jzoomer

now i want one.... dangit too expensive and plus emissions here are strict

dentinger

i want one just as long is at does cause my CEL to come on....
it says it comes with a relocation spot for it....
but i think if i got the headers, id get a high flow cat too, just to complete the exhaust

TriggArisE

Good that it wont sound like a civic. im so tired of hearing those things, i made sure when i did my exaust it didnt rattle around or vibrate, it just sounds smooth. hopefully better with the headers.

Oh and dentinger, i payed 485 for them, shipping was free, thanks to protege garage

J-Protege

Buy a good set, and they are equipped to correct the problem that trips the code. If you buy no-name ebay, you might be stuck with a check engine.

Go with Gary (kargoboy) and his Thunder Headers, or headers off the Protege Garage (Ken).

TriggArisE

man its gonna take forever for those headers to get here. they get to protege garage on 7/7! THEN they ship to me. ughh im not gonna be able to take it, i want them!

dentinger

yay! installed a blue LED light in my glovebox, now it glows blue at night when i open it!!

finish installing my F2 CAI. HHmm...I have mixed feelings whether or not I like it. first off the install was a pain in the ***! Second, I'm not sure if I like the sound the 3 intakes make compared to the protege CAI. Third, I notice loss in low end and gains in high end. So...hhmm....
