The video that I was waiting for. Can you also makena video of DIY servicing for your accord euro like changing oil, air and oil filter, transmission oil and throttle body cleaning. It will help us all DIYers
If it would've been legal to take off my cat, I would copy your entire mod, which is truly awesome and +3 ~ 5kw more for sure. But I'll have to get a standard no name 4-2-1 header. You are doing so much good to this puppy, it's awesome. 👍👍👍👍
Love the car and that exhaust setup sounds great! I have a cl9 with a PLM header too but a high flow cat instead of a test pip, I was wondering how it would sound with this particular exhaust given I have a high flow cat on mine 🤔
Gday from Auckland, You make me want to keep my accord as a small project but sadly its an auto and Ive been trying to track down the parts to manual swap it for like a year with no luck...Enjoying your videos mate.
I'm very interested in what mods you have planned next. I've heard that the American and Japanese 2006 onwards K24A2 cams were one of the most aggressive in the k-series line up and would be a great budget upgrade. Thought it would be some useful information
Sounds and goes much better! Great videos you put together. Quick tip, why didn’t you use a bit of exhaust assembly paste on the slip joints? Would have gone together much easier and then wouldn’t leak!
Thanks for this video! Sounds dope as hell. I know the headers add a small horsepower gain, especially with a tune, but does the cat back also increase hp or does it just improve noise?
Again, nice job m8 from Quebec Canada. Sad cuz the law here doesn't allow me to perform such an install. I might go for an exhaust on my cu2 2009 and try to keep stock Cats, header and downpipe
To all Americans: Please be advised that because you guys are 'special', our cl9 accord is what you guys call a acura TSX. If you would like to make a formal complaint, please contact the US government for details.
It's kinda plateaued after about two weeks. Still leaks a tiny bit but I don't mind. It's more of a slight hissing sound from under the car rather than a typical exhaust leak sound
You can still run a Cat with a bit of cut and welding. Run a high flow cat. 200 cell I believe is the minimum legal and not noisy. Can go 100 cell if you don't care and a bit noisier. Performance difference between 100 & 200 cell is minimal.
For some reason your last comment disappeared but yeah I've seen that video before. It literally sounds identical to mine. Similar level of rasp. Personally I'm fine with it. And tbh its not a great idea to weld the slip joint because it needs to allow some movement...
Respect bro, glad you enjoy it! It sounds good to me but it’s the raspiness that throws me off, I personally just cant do rasp.. But hey at least it’s not as raspy as your old DC5!!!
@@doghorsefish9320 yeah all good mate. I think when you install headers you just have to accept that its gonna sound a lot more raspy. Same thing would happen if you just did a cat delete.
@@KiwiCarLife this is why people install a flex pipe to give it some movement. My CL9 has PLM headers with slip joint welded > 200 cell cat > flex pipe > catback + resonator.
Curious if a different ECU reflash tune would be useful following all the additional exhaust components (I’m understanding that your last ECU reflash was done before Yonaka exhaust + PLM headers?)
Hey, really nice video and nice cut, you probably put a lot of work in it 👍🏼 I have a question, how do you filmed your exhaust while driving ? With an action cam ? If yes, how do you mount it ?
@@KiwiCarLife Good to know. Which suction mount do you use ? The one from GoPro or one from another brand ? I also want to get one, that's why I'm asking :D
@@KiwiCarLife Alright, thanks for the Info 👍🏼 I really like the way you stay in contact with your viewers/community I really want to get a suction mount that's safe to use.
Nice, be mad if you lined up against a sportivo corolla aswell ay bro ahah the cam crossover on my old 03 corolla sportivo which is suppose to have 141kw from factory felt alot stronger than my current 03 manual cl9 thats been reflashed, Cai intake and 100cell cat on stock exhaust so um yeah be mad az aha keep up the good work bro love your vids, chur.
Oh ok thought i seen one in masterton my bad but yea bro it had that engine mated to a 6 spd manual was good fun above 6000rpm. Thanks for replying so swiftly and keep up the good vids, chur
Hmm so the PLM header is a straight bolt on for our spec CL9? I'm in Australia and bought the PLM and Yonaka from speed science (thanks NZ!!) and thought I would need to get the secondary O2 sensor moved. Also your channel is litty 🔥😂
Just a little update on this, I had to extend the primary o2 sensor, just did it myself by splicing in wires from a broken sensor I had, the secondary was fine. No check engine light with reflash and defouler. But the header was touching my frame, I had to hammer it, not happy but it was only a small amount. Had to clamp the test pipe and put sealant in the collector pipes to stop leaks. Probably won't go PLM next time. Sounds and performs great though 👍🏻
Hey bro, love your videos. Now that your PLM headers has been in your car for over a year did you have issue with the leaking? Also if you had the issue what did you do to fix it. I just got a PLM headers on my 07 Cl9 and it leaks bad. I need some help. Thank you so much.
Nah not at all man it's perfect - when you're not booting it, it hardly makes any noise at all. It's only when you really get on it that it makes a racket. Ideal imo
@@KiwiCarLife Bro Im about to put it on, wondering if I need to weld this header>? Cuz I heard a lot leak problems on PLM header. Did you get it welded?
CU2 is definitely more of a boat and thus would be harder to make quite as sporty as the CL9 because it's always got the weight disadvantage. But the K24Z3 engine is superior because it already has a 50deg vtc and more agressive cam so it's possible to make more power with fewer modifications. Also the stock CU2 gearbox has shorter gear ratios too...
It comes with all the bits you need to make both ends meet the exhaust and headers so no need for adapters. And no, just rerouted the cable over the subframe rather than under through a series of clips like before
How much for the headers bro just brought a 03 accord Euro wan headers they make all the difference had 421 headers n 2n quarter exhaust decat 2 cobys much faster with them without on my xsi integra u accord is set up perfect like the front n rear bumper skirts
Hi : ) , did you end up having any trouble with the secondary O2 sensor? Does it need to be welded in, or could it just get.. idk tucked up somewhere? thanks
@@KiwiCarLife Really and it's the CM model not CL? Thanks for the information man wasn't sure on pulling the trigger on them, but now I'm def going to get them. Just recently got Ktuner so this is my last mod for the daily lol.
Hey, I have another question according the Exhaust manifold install. When you installed the new plm header, how much did you torque down the bolts and in which order ?
Hi I was wondering if there would be any problems or if I could install the PLM headers with a stock exhaust as I just have a muffler and resonator delete. Is it worth will the performance gains if I can ? Any advice would be appreciated thank you
I installed these headers and when it came to connect it to the cat back (Yonaka) it was to long. What do you think I did wrong? I have the same cat back you have.
Not trying to be that guy but i believe the correct term is Header not headers, now if it was a V6 you would then say headers. Any chance you can start doing dyno runs between mods to give people an idea of what to expect if they too go with these mods.
Yeah true probably is header. Then again we don't say pant we say pants even though there's only one of them... I would do a dyno run between mods, however it's like $1000 per run over here. So a 0-100 time and or rolling race is a cheaper alternative
@@KiwiCarLife Nice logic on pants, never thought to hard about that word lol. Most dyno power runs start from $100, if tuning or spending more than an hour on them then you start paying more per hour. Try Keith Stewart in Palmy, he only charges me $100 at a time how ever that was a few years ago.
Yea it is stinky I have the same headers going to a tanabe medallion exhaust worst smell ever and my check engine light turned on after a few miles of driving
@@edwindiaz6317 ahh, so I presume you have a tsx? Not sure about any reputable tuners in the US but there's sure to be some around! They will be able to disable the 2nd O2 sensor so that it doesn't throw an engine light.
