**87accordDxRocFosStyl** · 04-29-2003, 09:59 PM

well maybe not a quote but

**87AccordLXsdn** · 04-30-2003, 06:03 PM

Sooo...ahh...does anybody know how to stop the rusting on the headers??

...j/k

1988starter · 04-30-2003, 06:07 PM

I would just spend the extra dough and get the ceramic ones.

**Justin86** · 04-30-2003, 07:09 PM

Holy crap I'm going to loose it. CERAMIC HIGH TEMP PAINT! If you want to spend the extra $$ to have it done my the makers like $80 or... you can do it your self for $5.

Ok you can loose it all you want but the ceramic high temp paint burned right off my down pipe.

My stock cat-back has completely rotted out. Granted I could go and buy stock replacement, or ever a wider repacement. However I think im going with the Pacesetter Borla Cat-Back exhaust system. It's about 166 bucks off of NopiONline and it's painted, this way I doubt it'll rust... be being in new-england and all.
Is this a good kit? I heard the muffler was iffy, but imnot looking for sound really, just function.
Horsepower inrease with this??? I dont reallyknow... Im thinking of getting the pacesetter header and possibly a new high-flow cat. I'll paint the new pacesetter with heat-resistant paint and what-not to prevent chipping. So yeah.

SOund like a good Idea???

Thanks

Get a cat-back exhaust made for cheaper. I have the pacesetter catback with a different muffler and the paint comes off fast and it's been a year and no rust but I doubt that will last a long time. Go to a muffler shop and get a 2.25" pipe custom made for the car for like $80-$100 And then get a muffler you like.

1988starter · 05-02-2003, 08:42 AM

It is not that bad of a kit I have one but I got annoyed with the muffler and cut it off and added a dynomax but then again when I bought it it was only 130

**Mike's89AccordLX** · 05-02-2003, 08:48 AM

I bought mine when it was $145 and then you have to add shipping too. So it saves you money if you get a custom one made.

**Justin86** · 05-02-2003, 09:03 AM

I"m going with custom exhaust. Straight pipe and a muffler soon to be done.

**theBeline** · 05-02-2003, 10:22 AM

A custom header as well? Frig, where can I get one? I want a custom turbo header made up, and seeing how in Maine a car of this age doesn't have to meet emisions standards, screw the cat.

**Justin86** · 05-02-2003, 10:48 AM

That is what I say too. Got-to love Oregon.

**HondaManDan** · 05-02-2003, 12:51 PM

damned Massachusetts.... Romney can kiss my ass.

**wickedaccord** · 06-10-2003, 01:51 PM

**dXsquared** · 06-10-2003, 01:57 PM

just heat the accord one and bend it

Travis

**wickedaccord** · 06-10-2003, 02:07 PM

if i heat and bend it.. i'd ruin a perfectly designed shifter that's made for precision. something i wouldnt do, especially when honda spend countless ours of making such a genuine peice..

reason y i would want the pacesetter is for the GSR style. otherwise, i wouldnt bother. thanks anyhow.

but more help would be nice. thanks

Jon

**dXsquared** · 06-10-2003, 02:13 PM

well... what do you mean GSR style?? explain a bit more... pacesetter only makes one shifter for the accord so i dont think anyone else will tell you different

Travis

**shepherd79** · 06-10-2003, 02:30 PM

what about DC sport shifter for CIVIC. mid 80's civic

**wickedaccord** · 06-10-2003, 02:39 PM

click on the link i posted up there. there is a difference in the way it's curved. the short shifter in that pic is a style of a STOCK GSR shifter. that's wat i want becuz it does actually minimize the throw shorter than a regular style shifter such as on the 89 accord and any civic. ill post up another pic of a short shifter and ull see the difference in style.. the way it's curved.

sorry if im being a little picky and stubborn

this is a pic off of ebay. it's a civic style bla bla bla

Nah, the pace setter doesn't bend back up. It would be interesting to see if you could use that gsr shifter in the 3rd gen. Might have to swap the ball with a 3rd gen style and/or spread the end of the shift rod linkge where it meets the shifter to make it fit. I'd be weary of bending the pacesetter accord shifter. Its not exactly high quality material and may snap. Its also plated which would most likely get messed up in the process. If you can find a shifter in that style that fits the earlier 84-88 civic then you'll have an easy solution

**wickedaccord** · 06-10-2003, 03:08 PM

yeeeaaaap! well if i jus happen to find one and get the resources for it. ill post it up. actually, i was offered 80 bucks for a GSR style shifter.. my guy was going to actually send a GSR short shifter to a machine shop and have em grind the ball joint down the the exact same size as the 3geez one.. but for 80 bucks i figured eh, y not jus buy a pacesetter short shifter with a skunk2 shift nob..
also tried cutting the shift linkage cup and weld on a civic cup.. but i was afraid of the cup snapping on me when hard shift engagements.

oh well! we'll see wat happens
thanks though
