What bandwagon would that be exactly?

And the bolts and gaskets that come with some of these cheaper parts don't always work. I know you suggested using OEM. But you also said the cheap stuff would work. It doesn't always work, so why chance it?

And you do realize that if anything goes wrong with your motor and can be linked to this header your warranty is gone.

+1 it would be a pain to use the old exhaust gasket and get an exhaust leak and have to take it right back off

I was waiting for someone to mention that too! Is it worth risking your warranty?

And then you put the stock header back on

You drive older Hondas for a reason Mike, just like many of us do... Newer Hondas with all the new sensors for all the new bullshit...

More sensors = More problems to fix
