HotShot Headers Installed

Yea after like 2days of work i finally got these ****'s on... i work at honda soo tools and lifts were helpful... the rear Header is the most pain other then that it went smooth...

1)I dont have my o2's Sim'd there just on top of my engine and i havent got a CEL yet...Will it come on later...

2)Power has increased but it doesnt feel like a big burst... and my Transmisson is Laszy as F##ck.....

That's because your secondary O2s aren't plugged in. What codes are you pulling?

Not sure what your emissions situation is, but if you don't mind your SES light on (Mine has been on ever since I installed these headers, which was in December of 04) plug your secondary O2 sensors into the primary header ports (not electronic connectors). Should idle a little better. As for the lazy tranny, get an aftermarket VB. Mine was lazy as sin from 1-2, after the VB mod, nice and crisp.
