Probably not; if you scroll back through the pictures you'll see he's added a supercharger to breathe on the motor.

DMV mailed a letter stating that my car has recall #R87 (fuel ignition update) :/
i paid a visit to my local dealer and they said they will update my ecm with the sc installed
i feel that i would need to retune the car after the update so i'll try getting a 72mm throttle body and headers before the retune in May. so my focus is on the engine again but i have my bumper lip in place right where i like it

i ran the 0 gauge wire under the interior step panels on the driver side although i recommend running it down the passenger side (more room for 0g but longer wire) and a tip for the backs seat there are 2 clips on the front of the REAR bottom seat that you have to unclip first then remove the 10mm bolt behind the rear bottom seat then you can remove the rear step panels

i ran the 0g wire through the firewall i think right where the factory clutch goes

i was able to us the stock battery bracket but its not threaded far enough down so i used a 1/2 copper coupler as a spacer and my amp fits nicely in front of the battery

Thmotorsports.com located in Illinois I think. you wont find a supercharge for the 08 accord (no one makes it for our car) I used the sc for a 09 tsx if you want more info let me know. by the way both ctengineering and the manufacture that makes the sc are located in northern Cali

I really like the touch of cutting out the supports in the shape of the Honda "H."

I started back on the mustang cuz now all of the parts came in. And I had an emergency 328 cylinder head replacement. as for the honda the header/test pipe came in super f&$@£ing LOAD!! (Any rpm above 2500) so I've been searching for a solution and I found a stock exhaust muffler for a ford f-250 that will fit in my car but before I bye it i want to know what you guys think???
It's made for a v8 so I assume it will have plenty of flow?
Or should I just get rid of the header if I want it quitter exhaust cuz the muffler counteracts the header?
