just change that and you be all set...

In allseriousness, check the bolts/flanges on the header/exhaust conection. They might have been left loose during the instalation of the new headers. Also, check the shifter linkage.

The answer for me was two. Had a accord then a Prelude when I was 16. Then I got a WS6 T/A when I was 17.
