I also had to shorten one of the bolts on the corner because it is a tight fit trying to angle the bolt down in the hole. So 3 bolts and 1 nut were used, the 5 spot is a no go, but damien mentioned this earlier in the thread. Everything else fits fine, down pipe and all. The only fabrication I had done was having an o2 bung welded on on the top of the housing next to the dump tube.


I am impressed that there is only one stud that doesnt fit.

wow! took long enough did any of the others get theirs yet?

I would suggest if anyone wants this part they should get their orders in now and if they are lucky they will have an o2 housing by xmas 2011.

Here is another option for this problem (noisey at idle).

Just shootin' ideas out.

Was there any contact info (phone number?) for this guy? Maybe hunt him down on the Honda forum he frequents?
This is insanity.
