well I've done a search and havent really gotten the answer to this.....so I was wondering if you guys think its good getting DC Sport or Greddy or just get something like OBX or Bomx....I want gain but if the nice one's dont give to much of a gain, I'd want something that sounds good.....any input would be great

 

you're not gonna get very many gains no matter what you get.

 

The cheap ones mostly are simply replicas of those expensive brands... the only difference may be the metal quality... The more expensive ones may look good for a little longer than the cheapo ones and due to the quality the expensive ones may have 1 to 2hp extra... thatz bout it..

 

Yo dude, buy mine. I've been too lazy to advertize. $90 + whatever shipping, brand new, never got to use em.

You mean if he gets a Turbo kit or n2o he's still going to get little gains?

 

Well I dont think I'm going to get a turbo kit.....what kind of headers do you have? and do they fit a 2.2?

 

i got the DC sports headers and i got some gain. It opens up your 3rd gear the most.

 

That would be a downpipe, not a header for turbo. As for nitrous, I still think it will be minimal. Might open it up a little more, but no significant gains over stock headers.

 

Whats the fastest 2.2/2.3, even on nitrous... 14s?
(Not counting turbo, cause thats a whole different story)
(And hybrids don't count either...Since we're just talking about the f22a setup)

Most cars do that stock nowadays.

 

I have seen dyno charts on a board, might have been this one, of headers before and after. They actually lost A LOT of low end torque/power on a 4 cyl engine, and didn't gain until high in the powerband. Basically, there was a loss throughout until the almost shift limit/red line. I remember them being bad quality though, can't remember what name.....

 

In other words ... just save up and go with a turbo or a swap

 

Yep.

 

ok guys... so most of you are saying that getting a good set of headers and a good catback exhaust systems are not worth it for a 2.2 CL? Please let me know.. thanks..

 

Probably... not worth it if you HAVE the extra cash for swaps or turbo... However... for couple hunder bucks... and if you're just working with what you have then the gains I belive are well worth the money!!

Again... your talking about spending couple Gs vs. couple hundreds....

 

well... i only make hundreds not Gs... and pay bills.. so I guess I'll just stick with headers and exhausts...

 

hey what kind of headers are they, will they fit a 98 4cy, and what part of MD are you at? Thanks.

 

97 2.2 has F22B1 (same as 94-97 Accord EX)
97-99 2.3 has F23B1 (98-00 Accord EX)

they have different engine!!

 

just bored out a little more...basically the same thing from what I understand.

 

wrong, worng, wrong. f23 has higher compression, however, the exhaust ports look exactly the same.

all of the headers for the f22b series and f23 series are interchangeable.

 

Will that a fit a 98 3.0CL? I'm assuming no, but was curious. Thanks...

 

dude...3.0s are V6 not I4.

 

sorry, miss where it said I4
