i was thinking of purchasing some headers, but before i do would i get a nice gain off them cuz if not i might just but that money towards some nicer rims

plus if anyone is selling koni yellows..... i would be interested

 

i read a thread somewhere
i think it was like 20 hp.

the combination of cai (which u have)
and exhaust system
and headers

thats like 30 hp.
if iam not mistaken

 

headers should about 10-12 horsepower i dont think its 20 but i might be wrong and then intake about 4-7 and exhaust im not really too sure but probably between 5-10

 

I would be surprised if I got more than 12-15 out of my OBX headers on the 3.0.

 

dust -- how do your OBX's compare to comptechs? ...powerwise, anyway. I hear they make some resonation at certain RPMs... but whatever....

 

i just got my dc headers yesterday and i am loving it you can definatly feel the power

 

dynos yet?

 

You guys are smoking crack. The mods hardly do shit for the 4 bangers. 15 HP with all of that combined, IF you're lucky.

 

yo ballin cl u said u can def. feel the diff.
right?

its like night and day right?
cause got rice says the diff. is not noticible

is it?

 

If you do get them. Get a dyno before and after and you'll know what I'm talking about. If you don't believe me, ask TurboSupra (Ryan)...He used to have a 2.2 engine in his old car before he gave up and bought the supra.

 

i had every free flow bolt on in my old accord, didnt do jack shit for performance. maybe helped a *little* at highway speeds, but low end torque was gone. still got walked by a grand cherokee v8, my roommate's civic si, and got rice's cl 3.0 from a dead stop. i did get to race a nearly stock 98-99 accord ex 4-cylinder, i barely beat him by a hood and he was dead stock. anything short of forced induction or laughing gas won't make that big of a difference. just my experience. you're all welcome to learn the hard way.

 

I agree, I do on the other hand believe that people tend to "feel" things that arent there. I am sure that for many things you are able to fell something, but when people come on and say that their intake gave them 15-20hp, that is bs.

 

Yeah, bolt ons are pretty much a waste of money on our 2.3's/2.2's. The intake and exhaust were ok, but i didn't feel a damn thing from my dc headers.

 

I have to disagree.... I took off my caty and replaced it with a straight pipe... I definetely noticed the difference in torque... header gave me a little more power and smoother accelaration... and top speed increased from 120 to 135 from muffler..

Intake on the other hand... i didn't really notice the difference...
It definetely helps to pushes the car forward...

 

Did you dyno?

 

i got 27hp from my comptech headers


got the dyno sheet to

 

cmycl has a 2.2

Headers are like the ace card for the 3.0s.

 

sorry i didn't pay attention that yea 2.2's suck:P j/k
