Ludes with Apexi WS and DC Header - Honda Prelude Forum

LuderForChrist · 04-13-2004, 05:28 PM

Any one out there with a Apexi WS exhoust and a DS Sport Header have problems with their connection?

I do , and it just keeps getting louder and then I tighten the two.....and for a while its ok... then it gets bad again.

Advice? is it happening to anyone else?

You could try putting some thread locker on the bolts to keep them from backing out.

BTW, is your car Tim's old car (sporttheimport)?

Yea tim and I go way back.

Long story short, his dad is a jerk made him sell the car (it was his dad's) so he kept it in the "family."

We did a lot of work on it when he owned it so I bought it from him. Got it painted and fixed a few small details. How did you know tim, much less know it was his old car (other than the fact that your from AR)?

We met on here and then I met him a couple of times out at Centerville Dragway. I just remember his car and remember someone on here buying it from him or something.

mmmm good call, is there anywhere I can pick one up of the top of your mind? How much they run, shouldn't be that bad, should it??

I have a WS exhaust and a DC CC header and I couldn't be happier, I haven't really had any problems with bolts backing out or anything... Well, I have a Test pipe as well, so that might be why.

did you end up painting your car san marino red? I can't really tell from the pic....

LuderForChrist · 04-15-2004, 04:42 PM

yep!!!!!

As im sure you know, its just a slight shade darker, and it is hard to tell from the pic.

SWEET !!

are you coming up here for the next NTPOG meet? mine is R94 (San Maino Red - base), but there were three different san marino Reds to choose from when I had my car painted. I went for the darker one.

I really want to but getting up there is so hard this time of year..... you know with finals and all, I need to talk to charlie and casey and see if they're going to role up. If they do, I will highly consider trying to get up there.
