Does anybody know what the torque specifications are for the bolts on my 2001 tib? I want to install my new header and my dad wanted to know. Also, can you guys direct me to anywhere that would tell me about the 4-2-1 header install? Thanks.

 

It is a pretty easy direct swap. I forget what the exact torque is for it but you can look on webspec. It is listed there. I just used an impact and hit it with a setting of 2, haven't run into any problems.

i'm not sure but I would say about 50% more than the new civics... wink.gif

 

my dad and i got it in yesterday and i do believe i'm in love...it sounds awesome and i can feel the power gain. smile.gif i am a HAPPY camper

we just had to take it to michael tire so they could air wrench some of the bolts (my dad didn't think he got them tight enough.

WOOT

 

Which header did you get anyway?

 

I've heard somewhere to use alcohol to clean the headers before/after installation and it prevents the rainbow discoloration and keeps the nice chrome look. Anyone know about this? just curious... the discoloration wouldn't bother me anyways

 

i got the header in the SSautochrome group buy...

i've never heard of anyone using alcohol to clean them...i'm not going to show my car so i don't really care if it discolors or not

 

very cool... now all I have to do is wait for them to arrive then.

 

That's ok, they don't really look that bad afterwards. laugh.gif

as you can tell by the rust they have been on there a little while....still look really good (even though the pic isn't very good)
