Default DOH! car didn't pass inspection.

My A'PEXi N1 exhaust is cracked at the canister. No wonder my car is so loud even with the silencer in.

Had a valve adjustment, all fluids flushed (coolant, brake, power steering, tranny). Valves were off by alot according to the tech, which is why the car was probably idling weird and felt like the car was sluggish.

So I get to go autocrossing tomorrow and hopefully do better

I took my '98 EX back to the Honda dealership I bought it from (free inspections for life) but they nitpicked everything. I had a crack in my thremal's resonator to B-pipe but Thermal sent me a new one. I just take it to a local garage that just puts the damn sticker on and leaves me alone.

It's from the engine rocking back and forth pulling on the whole exhaust system. They said they would weld it for me. But I plan on getting a new exhaust anyway
