Lol yeah it was overkill, but it was fun to install and learn about the differences in the driving experience. With half of the interior, and me in it, car weighted 3250lb. She was a lil chonky, and she needed more stopping power.

Bought it off a website that has since shut down. It's the Apex'i WSII cat-back exhaust. I'd check Heeltoeauto.com. They have a lot of parts for Accords of this generation.

Thanks! I really didn't want it to sound like a fart machine 😂

Yeah even with the shielding it had to have been warm. I didn't want to do a low mounted intake because of all the rain we get in Florida, and the puddles that form. Got a bit better milage though.

@@graphite81 makes sense water in the ingine is a no go🤣😂

I bought it off of Auto Anything.com, but I would check with Heeltoeauto.com. They have A LOT more parts for Accords of this generation

I'd recommend it. It kept throwing a light for the O2 sensor at the header. I'd swap it out for a wideband and find a way for the sensor to cooperate with the stock ECU via a tuner.

Same here. I see nothing listed as high flo in the manufacturer website.

Sadly I think they've discontinued the line as EPA standards have been becoming more strict.

Check EliteCM.net, that's where I found the model number from. Also, Heeltoeauto.com sells one made by Fastline

Apologies for the silly delay. I believe they've discontinued the hi-flow line up with EPA standards becoming more strict.

Check EliteCM.net, that's where I found the model number for the hi-flow cat. Also, Heeltoeauto.com sells one made by Fastline

Yeah, sadly. On the way to work one morning

Yeah. Just picked the right parts after digging through EliteCM.net It's an old forum for CM chassis Accords

Bought it used in 2009, I think it had 16k miles on it already.

Nice man! Best of luck with your build!

I had to replace the bolts that came with it for longer ones, but otherwise I didn't have to modify it. It was specific for the 7th generation Accord, and I believe the TSX from '04-'08.

Sadly, I don't think Magnaflow sells them anymore. However, I would look around www.heeltoeauto.com, they have a hi-flow cat from Fastline.

Honestly, I never dynoed it to find out. It was for sure noticeable on the butt dyno; and there was definitely more torque in the lower and upper range!

Sadly, mine kept coming on as well. Even deleting the code wouldn't help. I had purchased a wideband for it to resolve the issue, but I could never figure out how to make it work with the original ECU with a piggy-back

Thanks man! When I swapped the intake, I did not. However, when I swapped the full exhaust, I eventually got a P0420 code, which means the O2 sensor in the cat was picking up an error. As far as the extension, one was provided with the DC Sports manifold because the location was moved further back.

You absolutely can! I would reccomend an trans oil cooler if you plan on lead-footing it often. The trans oil could over heat and put the car in a limp mode.

The mic used in this video doesn't do justice sadly.

I'm not familiar with swapping the engine, but typically you'll also need the wire harness, and Ecu. As far as the transmission, I'm not sure. I know these engines are practically the same, but I would double check on forums. Chances are, someone has made this swap, and would be a healthy source of information. Sorry I couldn't help you out too much!

Thanks man! Pair that cat back system with a high flowing cat, and a good manifold and you'll have a great sound!

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure all '03-'07 Accords came with vtec. Both the K24 and the J30. Vtec opens up the valves longer at higher rpms to let more air in and out of the cylinder. As far as engine performance when you get the car, that will depend on hiw well the previous owner(s) took care of it. It will come with vtec, but there are a TON of mods available to push some serious power out of a K24.

@@graphite81 like what ?????

I threw on the Street Basis set. It was nice for daily driving, and it even held up well for some track use. It was also the cheaper option Lol. The SB set doesn't come with top hats, so you'll have to use the stock ones. But again, I loved them. You could lower the car more than I did here. I only dropped it 1.5" all around, but i think the lowest you could drop it was 4."

@@graphite81 thanks for replying. Do you ever scrape or are potholes a big issue when you dropped 1.5? I was thinking to drop 1 inch

@@305tyrone4 Not really, the only hazards I ran into were unnecessarily thick speed bumps that were bolted to the ground, and really steep driveways. I always tried to avoid potholes where I could, but even when I hit them I didn't scrape.

There's a flange in the middle that requires 3 bolts, and 2 gaskets to put it together. The bolts that were supplied were pretty short to thread into one of the flanges, and eventually backed out. After I swapped them out for longer bolts it was great! I like the style of the PLM because it slips together, but I didn't go with that because at the time, I didn't see anything for a US-spec Accord. They had them for the TSX's then, but the description said it didn't fit. As for a performance comparison, I'm not sure unfortunately, I never saw them in the wild.

Of course dude! I've more added parts since this recording, and I'll post an update soon if my schedule allows me Haha If you have any questions abiut modifying your 7th gen don't be afraid to ask!

It was! Intake and full exhaust.

If your asking if I swapped the engine, I did not. This engine came with the car from the factory.

Thank you! I didn't have to modify the harness. The only ECU tuning I did was using a K Tuner that piggy-backed off the OBD2 reader plug.

I think a Borla muffler makes it sound amazing

Just now seeing this, apologies for the late reply! Definitely reccomend a full exhaust, a tune so you can maximize the potential of the bolt-ons, suspension, and a brake upgrade. Let me know if you have any questions!

Superpro! I found them at www.suspension.com

It would probably be better to buy the pieces individually. Getting an ebay kit could hurt your engine. Tailoring your kit to your needs with guidance from performance manufacturers can make or break your build!

Dude yes! This seriously is an underrated chassis to develop for the track. I did a lot more to it after this video (big brake kit up front, drum-to-disc conversion in the rear, race seat, harness, more poly bushings, and billet RLCA's), but sadly it was totaled one morning on the way to work. I'll make an explanation video sometime hopefully soon. If you ever have any questions on it feel free to message me!

Sorry to hear about that man, hope you’re okay, however If you’re selling any of the parts from the wreck I would love to hear you out on them

Bro i just got the same 07 manual accord too

I have a 07 5-speed accord too 😅 I put a refreshed engine into it

@@slaydrews_garage do you have oil consumption issues? Like a quart a week?

Wow! Yeah when I took this car to track days it was 3250lb with all of the back half of the interior stripped, and me in it 😂

With the intake and exhaust, there was an immediate difference! It felt like it's wasn't 'stuck in the mud' anymore. I never got it tuned either! The K&N intake came with a heat shield and rubber seal, and I also added gold heat wrap on the outside towards the engine to minimize the heat soak. Being that it was a short-ram intake, there was going to be heat soak. But after a couple of weekends at the road coarses, I didn't notice any effects in throttle response or acceleration. So I believe the shielding did its job!

It’s a placebo I can confirm I’ve done the same things and nothing. Tested it before and after, same speed. Sounds better but I’m going to be getting a tune

Thanks man!

Same

I'm really sorry to hear that brotha. Mine had a similar fate a couple years back. So I feel ya for sure.

@@graphite81 yeah, I babied that thing and she failed me. ABS failed after I had to slam on the brakes and my wheels locked up and I slid into a truck
