I've put 8,000 miles on it with a stock intake, custom exhaust with cheap tip, and a 75 shot racing it all the time, using nitrous on the weekends. Now its got a couple new things, about 10,000 miles on it and still no problems. Maybe I stumbled accross a way to do it cheaper then you guys. I know for a fact we figured it around $1600 with everything minus the nitrous, and thats not including performance parts, enough to get it in and running solid like i did at first. and my used axles have held up just fine for 10,000 miles, and I saved a few hundred dollars there, and if I break one, oh well, i can replace it and still spend less. And yes, it was stock exhaust manifold too. And no its not a few hundred dollars for wires from honda.
