LOL, thats good stuff. Did you get a ceramic or stainless header? 4-1 or 4-2-1? I'm trying to figure out wat kind of header I'm gonna get when i get my engine, so lemme know how it ends up.

No carb number, I think its a 4-2-1 cause its 2 pieces, and its a ceramic.
And yes my car is a 5 speed.

the header is at my friends house, pics will be thrown up tommorow during the install ... cant let the rents know about this mod lol.
Wish I would have had it with me, I saw the worst integra ever on the freeway today. Bookshelf wing, kit that wasnt mounted very well, altezzas that one was filled with water and the other was broken. Then again posting pics of it probably woulda got me in trouble. He floored it coming out of the tool booth and black smoke was everywhere.

Hey, Melt!
I'm glad you're getting a header, especially a ceramic-coated one (like mine). Since you've already got the cold air intake and the hi-flow cat, you'll probably notice a big difference.
Just waitin' for you to do that MPFI swap, and then you'll be maxxed out.
Good luck keeping it from the parents. The header will look soooo much better than that ugly heat shield over the stock exhaust.
You said it's a two-piece header. Are the studs FIRMLY screwed in? I'm talking about the studs that hold the two pieces together. I didn't have my studs in tight, and ALL of them came loose the very first week. I had to find another stud and use the two-nut system to get them in tight.
Charge up that battery for digi-cam.

Melt - your title says "Melt, finally does an engine mod" but 4 days later its still not done... so what did you mod? If its not in yet its not a mod - its a part. "Melt, finally buys a header" is a better title :finger:

The header I bought says 50 state emissions legal, wouldn't that mean Carb exempt?

i would think so, but without a CARB EO number on it, they think its not.

50 state legal means it has a CARB tag on it. Don't worry about it. As for exhaust. You could take it off and still pass smog. They're worried about everything before the cat. The exhaust is after the cat so it doesn't matter. Exhausts just have to pass the sound level test shit they have. That's a whole different story though.

yea and melt said his header does not have a CARB number on it. Even though you can have an ad that says fifty state legal, if the header dont have it on it, they might not let it pass.
