I agree with the posts in the thread attached above. These are a common mod among Honda owners, but I really expect no performance advantage on my car. The only things I like about it are that they are reusable, and cheaper than OEM gaskets. I'm going to go ahead and try them out. I'm going to use loc-tite on the bolts and use a little more torque than the FSM specifies just because I really don't want to have to take the twins and LIM off again. If they lessen the amount of threads on the bolts that hold the LIM much, then I'll go ahead and get slightly longer bolts. I can't imagine any serious clearance problems but I will test them out. I'll post a review in a few weeks.
