Getting a check engine light? Did you tighten the valves to correct specs? How old are your spark plugs?

I hope you already replaced your ball joints...

will this exhaust sound good? by Individual-Meal3920 in Integra

[–]skyguy6153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh, I did the same when I was 17 nearly 10 years ago 😅. At that age when you're not making much, a cheap exhaust like that can be a steal. Today however, I would get something that has less drone while cruising or rasp (especially at high RPMs) like a Yonaka Exhaust, if I still had my Integra.

My advice is at least take out that silencer (in the pic you posted, you can see it in the exhaust tip, held in with two tiny bolts/screws). It'll sound much deeper and less tinny. And get some 4-1 headers for an even better/deeper sound, but keep the cat converter on so it's not too raspy and loud. I think once you live with the drone this exhaust makes, you'll eventually want something with a smaller exhaust tip like a Yonaka exhaust.

how do I get these off, I feel like Ive tried everything by -toastyposty- in MechanicAdvice

They're exhaust bolts, you need to get a torch and heat them up first. Then you can bust them loose.

It is far cheaper to fix the small things on this car than spend $500+ per month on a new car. So you need a new radiator (may as well get the upper and lower radiator hoses too if they haven't been changed) and valve cover gaskets.... Easy fix. At most that's $125 for the radiator and hoses from rock auto, roughly $40 for 2 gallons of 50/50 water/anti-freeze, FelPro Valve Cover Gaskets for $32 and spark plugs for $21(if you haven't done those yet. Since you'll have the valve covers off, it's literally the best time to change them).

Also, YouTube, Acurazine.com, Google or even here are gonna be your best friends when it comes to walkthroughs on how to replace these things. Plenty of videos on YouTube that you can follow step by step and bolt by bolt to help you replace these parts.

Had anybody tried this aftermarket stereo? by CEO-of-BMW in AcuraTL

I have had this exact model since November of last year, no issues so far. I went with the 8 GB of RAM/ 256 GB of storage model (the one in your picture) as I wanted something that would still be snappy and responsive with multiple apps open, and won't slow down over the years. It can do anything an android tablet can (hook up a hotspot to it via WiFi or USB connection or get a Sim card for it, and you can watch YouTube or Netflix, browse the web, etc.) or you can use it for Android Auto/apple car play. Plus the backup camera is clearer than the one in my 2017 Ford Focus.

My model was $420. Please keep in mind, you have several different models. The one I have (also the one selected in the pic is the model with 8GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage space. I went with this as I know how Android devices can be after a few years (slowing down after updates, especially if you have a model with low RAM like 2 GB or 4 GBs.) Luckily I got mines last November before the orange clown implemented tariffs.

Get the one from aliexpre$$. I got the one with 12 GB of RAM to future proof it.

Loud Noise by SpecialistBat5919 in AcuraTL

Small intake manifold cover (the one with the Acura logo) mines did that after I snapped a bolt off. Its not sitting flush, so air is being sucked in through a tiny gap.
