Well now my car sounds like fart!
For those who haven't been keeping up with my change over for winter, I put my stock exhaust, header, and intake back in. Tomorrow if I have time I'll put the stock suspension back in too.
But I lost the spring bolts for the rear muffler section after the B-pipe. So I have one spring bolt holding the header to the cat, and one bolt holding the b-pipe to the canister.
Check light came on (since there was a leak and the O2 sensor wasn't warming up) and the car sounds like a generic bolt on muffler
Car didn't pull at all at 5500rpms and the car is running rich (according to my Autometer gauge - so it does work)
My friend who works at Honda says he has them in stock THANK GOD!

I know you do auto-x but is all that neccessary for winter? (not trying to be mean, just wondering) This is my first winter with my new suspension, but I'm just leaving everything on. Do you go get an alignment? I left my CAI on last winter with no problems.
Does anyone else do this?

Well I did leave everything on for the past 3 years and it's taking a toll on my stainless steel components. The canister is getting rusty.
Plus road salt reacts with aluminum making the aluminum seize up. My coilovers are made of "aircraft quality" aluminum.
I spent some good money on all these items and don't want to get them ruined So I'd rather take them off.
