Totally dry. I reused my OEM gaskets and had no issues.

Well took me a couple of hours to clean the old gasket off.  it was a pain in the ***   But it is done.   I installed the IM using the crisscross method and apply some gasket sealant, just in case.  Everything works pretty good so far.  I will take it for a test run tomorrow morning.  Thanks for your guys help

Thanks for the feedback! i keep u posted if it works.

O yea, do you guys use any lube gasket sealant?  or kept it dry and just the ends off completely.

Need help....

I installed the TSX manifold today on my 2003 accord AT.  When i started the car, there was an unusual sound...a very high whining noise, like a high generator would do...  I left it on for 20sec and turned it off.  I re-tighten the bolts on the throttle body but still the same high pitch whining sounds happens.

has this every happen to anybody?  I did not completely scrape off the old gasket, nor did i used the crisscross pattern, so maybe that is why.
Im not sure whats wrong, but i am going to disassemble the whole manifold/intake and re-install it again tomorrow.   

EDIT
I found a video on youtube of exactly how the engine sound when running. 

Intake Manifold Vacuum Leak

Any idea how to scrape off the old gasket?

JDMaccord:  Yea DIY, hahaha typo..

Accordguy:  Front lip is from my 2002 Camry.  Im not finish with it yet. My plan is to fill some gaps with putty, smooth everything out real good and repaint it.

So i need some advice about installing and pricing. The part is a V6 tanabe cat-back dual exhaust.  I am trying to get it installed on my i4.  I went to a local exhaust shop whom quoted me 300-350 for the install.  They mentioned that the end flange of the Cat will not connect properly with the tanabe flange; ( The accord V6 cat flange is bigger and angles compared to the i4).... His plan was to cut the end piece of the tanabe that fits into the Cat and the end flange of the cat.  He would than weld the two together.  Install some new gaskets and put up the hangers where its needed.
Has anyone tried to put a 2.5" pipping dual exhaust on a 4cy accord?  if so how did you or the mechanics install it? and whats the price range for the install? 

Thanks

Seeing as how I have the OEM v6 coupe exhaust on my car, like you said, you need hangers on the DS and you would need to extend the B pipe on the exhaust itself where it would normally bolt to the cat. That's basically it. Don't worry too much about doing anything to your stock cat or exhaust manifold. An aftermarket header and cat will solve that size issue. Other than all that, just buy the exhaust and enjoy.

Thanks for the fast reply man.  cant wait to make the purchase now 

So i am about to purchase the Tannabe Touring medallion exhaust system from the local area.  The problem is the tannabe exhaust is made for a COUPE V6 while i have a I4 sedan! I did a lot of researching but could not find much. 
I know i need to modify the bumper with cutouts and add a extra hanger. 
The piping diameter is 2.5" and im not sure what the piping for stock sedan is but would i need an adapter piece from flex pipe to exhaust?
How about the length of the pipe? 
Am i better off buying a oem tsx exhaust from the junk yard and modifying that or get the V6 coupe tannabe touring exhaust?

Please let me know, need some advice / help. 

nice post but what kind of Oil do you guys usually use?  I just got my accord 2.4L and was thinking should i do synthetic or blend
