dont have to worry about emissions, and as far as my honda, its showroom quality...45mpg on the average... hes claiming that it needs painted, yet the pictures look decent...says there is an exhaust leak at the manifold now, he thinks its the autozone gasket...yet ive head horror stories from my tuner about the cracked manifolds then cracking the head, im wondering if thats what happend to cause the head replacement in the first place....
