Ah, well -

I'm very excited this week because I took my header off Monday to discover I had NO o2 sensor. No bung, no nothing. Horrified, I immediately dug the DC sports header I had hidden away. It still had a sensor in it, so I tried to fit it onto the car. It was an inch too long (why, I have no idea) so I scheduled an appointment at the muffler shop to get my pipe chopped a little. Got it hooked up Thursday and the car is running FANTASTIC. Gas mileage is near double now, and a really really bad 3k rpm rattle I used to have disappeared (might have to do with the new bolts the guy put on). He does amazing work and only charged me $25 for just over an hour of fiddling with this thing.

So that's on, and my next project is an RSX muffler. I have one *hopefully* coming soon from an 05-06, which is a 2.5" inlet. I have 2.5" running all the way back BUT there's a really odd bottleneck right before my muffler. I have one of those JDM-type straight through mufflers; great sound and all and I'm sure great power, but too loud on the highway for me. So I'm going to get it cut, remove the bottleneck, and stick on the RSX muffler. Considering that the bottleneck will be gone (I think it moves down to 2"), I might actually GAIN power.

The car is a 94 Integra GSR. I don't like posting too much about it because I'm paranoid about theft, but I can tell you about it through a PM.
