you really arent going to see any gains with just headers...even a full exhaust will yield neglegible gains...its just the nature of the beast...the f22 doesnt respond well to mods...please dont buy any off brand exhaust parts off ebay bc they are cheap and you wana save a buck. just save and use the time u r saving to do some research to find out what u really want and make sure its a quality part...then buy

ok so today i changed out my master cylinder and out of nowhere it started passing 3000 rpms !!!!whoohoo i was very very happy and vtec kicked in for the 1st time since i bought the car about a month ago ! i had already ordered the distributor since it gave me the code p1361 ! i didnt wait till it got here and just put on my new ngk sprak plug wires! turned car on and it started a bit weak....drove fine with vtec kickin in for about 5 min then it happened agin! wont pass 3k rpm!!!! i have a intake from factory that has a rip(aftermarket intake on the way) and 5w30 oil.........any of this a factor???? also can it be since the ngk wires had more spark transfer that the ecu read the code faster and got it to limp mode???? ADVICE NEEDED THANKS !
