its a simple install. just a matter of how rusted the botls are. it helps to have an extra set of hands or two just to hold things in place while another person finger tightens a bolt. everything will bolt up to the stock cat, so that wont be any problem at all. just be prepared to loose some low end torque. mid to high end is much better though. when selling my 5th gen accord and taking off the i/h/e it felt like air could not get out and everything was so restricted. you will feel a difference. air flow is just a lot smoother. don't expect HUGE gains by any means. just an increase in responsiveness and a little mid-high range power.

cool thanks for all the good feedback guys 
so if i my cat fell off due to rust would it be good to get a high flow or just a regular one? and do the header make it to the cat or not? *probably a stupid question but just wanna make sure*

I'd like medium quietness. I don't want to draw too much attention. I'd rather have it quiet then loud, that is.

what year accord do you have? in the 90-93 accords the EX header will gain just as much as the DC sports... been dyno proven... same results as the H22 JDM header and the DC Sports.. your wasting your money. also for a header you will not gain 10-15 horses even if you have an exhaust... maybe 3-4 at the wheels... i/h/e will maybe gain you 15whp if your lucky.
