not that anyone cares....
anyways, I got the car serviced today....
for replacing the header, the cost I saved was $558.61 including labor. However, I pulled a fast one on Honda while I was at it
see, the first time I tried calling this dealership, they told me the only thing I could get was a free emissions service (new distributer cap/rotor, plugs, wires, oil change and filters). Basically a $56 job. So when I took the car in today, I told him about the header, the CEL, and all that crap, but as he was typing in my info, I mentioned the emissions service and got that done free of charge as well.
My car loves me today. So does my wallet.
I
HIGHLY suggest anyone with this problem to get it done the free way
