Like CivicSi said, they have to prove whatever you did had a direct effect on what went wrong. I have a few friends with heavily modified cars bring their cars back for under warantee... (Tranny rebuild, Clutch replacement, ECU malfunction, etc)

ty CivicSiRacer & MaxBoosT for the info so no matter what they say about putting on aftermarket parts its BS then i guess as long as that part is not the direct cause of the problem and they can prove it. So i should be fine installing and intake and exhaust then 
. Another question though do i get intake and exhaust done by Honda or should i take it to a speed shop. Do u know of any good speed shops in the area of NYC/LI/Westchester Co.?

try and do it yourself. intake and exhaust arent very difficult if you have basic hand tools.

Intake should take you about the same.

Ok, i took off my wiper arms on my ek civic so i could repaint them and now i dont remember how to put em back on. Does the longer arm go on the driver or passenger side? Also the shorter wiper blade goes on the longer arm right? And where should they rest when i put them back on along the window. Oh, and yes i know i am stupid
