Default my new I/H/E set up (pics!)

finally got my catback and header installed yesterday but it wasnt that easy because the screw on the header broke in half so it took the mechanic a lot longer than it should have been
it was 3-4 hours to install the megan racing catback, dc sports header, and new magnaflow catalytic converter

throttle response is very different now and i am very pleased with this set up, even though the piping for the exhaust is 2.5 inches, it really helps the high end rpms, which need on this non-vtec engine

i admit that it's pretty loud, but it's not something that i dont like
i will get sound clips up later

im planning to get the OEM muflaps like the ones on the front of my car

not really, on the back it lists all the cars it's for, and there are a lot of compact cars on the list, including my accord
but i really want to get the OEM ones for the rear

ive actually only driven the car 2 times since the install, it's just sitting in my drive way until i can take it to the mechanic to check out my problem right now
ive been searching and it should be that one of the pipes is hitting the subframe of my car, causing it to shake like crazy when idling.

but im pretty sure i can get lots of unwanted attention because when i hit the throttle HARD, i can make car alarms go off, lol

yo, the same thing is happening to me with my exhaust. i found out that it is just loose and the place i got it installed originally can easily fix it. I will get it fixed when i install my intake there.
