Just got this setup with the new PLM header hfc. Sounds really good in the videos I’ve watched

I believe the Ktuned header I used to have and PLM V2 are identical. It’s definitely a good setup, I’ve never heard the q300 in person but I’ve heard a lot of good things about it.

Got the same thing really nice very happy with it to be honest gonna but a v2 tune it sound hella nice and make decent power

Damn, I was thinking the same. No snow there OP is I guess?

what gaskets did you use? lol

@@seanellis5696 Stock gasket, included one and I think one from an S2000 from a suggestion on 8th civic forum. Hopefully you dont have any issues, I read some other guys welded in a flex pipe eventually.

@@zimtron9589 only time will tell i'm using the s2k and no issue at all so far but i'm early in still

how much louder do the headers make it?

The full race gives our cars the perfect mix of exhaust and intake noise!

u mind sending a vid clip with the ktuned header? Im about to cop a full race and want to now how it sounds

Great idea, I’ll make this one soon

All pro no cons, great car, only con actually is probably mpg

Pro's: - Easy to work on. - Aftermarket parts (some decent and worth using reliably) - Good turning radious, lots of space - 6 speed manual, good interior + speakers/stereo system for modern time with aux - good braking/ handing/ control for a mid-modern car - k24 swaps are very cheap once engine blows Con's: - GOOD quality parts, bearings, suspension are quite $$$ and harder to find including quality suspension components - k20 platform is gutless in stock form - k20 has a cast issue known to mix oil/coolant causing slow failure over time - k24 are cheap, but having to swap your car before 200k is a pain coming from a well over-engineered japanese platform - Transmission requires corrective engineering solutions to fix shifting issues. (shift bushings, base bushings, 15k MTF fluid change, Slave + master + line replaced with quality aftermarket containing NO* extra delay valves, and lastly high mileage clutches are all gunked up leading to the cliche stigma of bad shifting issues in this platform**) Every car has it's pros and cons, this platform isn't for everyone. All platforms require some research to have a long lasting vehicle.

I did it myself. You have to take off the door panels and drill out the piece that holds the fabric. Then you can change it to whatever fabric you want. I made a tik tok about it a long time ago if you want to look for it, my account is @nickpanyanouvong

Where did you get the red fabric from?

Yes

Thanks! it’s a custom wheel from Hybrid Retrofits!

Spoiler is from ikon motorsports, radio is the Awesafe head unit on Amazon.

I honestly have no idea what the bracket is for 😂 . It’s not necessary. What’s causing you the issue with getting it together? If it’s your first time it’s definitely quite a process.

@@npvfa5 yep my first time. Getting the oem out was a pain but got it done. I’ve only got two jack stands also lol but lining up the test pipe with the flange and trying to bolt it up underneath was hard enough I ended up calling it a day after like 5 hours.

@@npvfa5 I also found that my o2 sensor won’t reach so now I’m waiting on an extension and a brand new o2 since I destroyed mine getting it out😂

The skunk2 radiator hose is probably hitting your gear selector. I had that issue too, all you have to do is rotate the hose a little.

I agree the oem headers are a pain, I already removed mine many times so going deep into the process wouldn’t have been very useful since I already have some of the oem parts removed like the heat shield. There’s lots of other videos on how to remove the header, but I will say that you do NOT have to lower the subframe.

Yeah it’s holding up, my header doesn’t hit the subframe, but there still is some wheel hop. I recommend getting the upper torque mount as well. That will be one of my next upgrades

You can do it yourself if you have some mechanic experience. If you’ve never done work on your car I recommend going to a shop or a friend who does.

No I have almost no drone at all, I’d make sure you don’t have any of the exhaust hitting the frame of the car.

The s2 header replaces the stock header and cat. If you buy one it should come with the o2 sensor extension already.

@@npvfa5 appreciate the help :D

Headlights are from LightCreationz.

If you have a header then cold starts are definitely gonna be louder than stock, but not enough to get in trouble or have neighbors mad. I have a friend with just the full race exhaust and cold starts sound the exact same as stock.

This version has the 3 inch inlet so it will only work with a race header. If you want to use the stock header make sure you get the one with a smaller inlet

There's a video of it on my channel. It works with steering controls and there is slight static noise when nothing is playing but i can live with it.

Plug the primary o2 sensor in the second hole, so that it reads from all cylinders.

Hello, so if you want to run your exhaust with the stock header you will need the 2.5 inch inlet on the exhaust. If you’re only ever gonna use the exhaust with the skunk 2 header then the 3 inch will bolt up perfectly.

@@npvfa5 Hello Nick, Yes. I have the skunk2 A. If i buy the full race 3" inlet this fit with the skunk2 A header? right? Thanks for your reply.

Yeah I used the provided donut gasket. I heard some people use the s2k donut gasket but this one didn’t leak so I didn’t see a purpose in getting a different one.

Came with the header, but I think you can buy it separately from skunk2

You need a Hasport 62a rear mount at minimum

The adapter comes with the header (if you buy it new). But I think Skunk2 also sells the adapter separately

From the devsport website, took a while to come, but that was during covid

I have a custom tune, but any of the maps theoretically should work fine.

Yes this header gets rid of the cat

The state ref does a full inspection of your cars emission system. Essentially, your engine needs to be completely stock to pass and have your car street legal again.

No, most headers, including this one, come with a defouler for the secondary O2 sensor so you won’t get a CEL. If you have Hondata you can disable the second O2 sensor as well.

@@npvfa5 okay 👍🏽 I had one last question I bought some skunk 2 alpha headers for my Fa5 do I need to tune my car if I want to keep them on ?

Oh ok did you get the exhaust from sac?

​@Nick Panyanouvong didn't think it looked much like LA lol.😅
