I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

It should be quite noticeable, and the quieter the exhaust the harder it'll be to hear. With an intake and cat-back it would be unmistakable.

Im not to sure about old ecu's. Maybe a pm6?

You should be able to feel a slight pull a little before 5k....if you dont have a short ram or something, go borrow one and strap it on. If there was something messed up with the solenoid, or wiring, you would get a cel

PM6 is a CRX Si ECU...which would be the wrong ecu
