I was shocked at the result myself, but TOV's dyno of a 2006 5AT shows a peak of 175whp SAE on a Dynojet, which leads me to believe that the 2006 TSX has somewhat reduced drivetrain losses in addition to increased power.

Do you know your stock hp/tq??? Since every car is different it's better to compare the "header" dyno w/ your baseline dyno.

wow i thought dyno runs cost like $70...$100 at the most....
anyone know of anywhere cheaper in the dc/md/va area??

doh
well i tried to install this header today but can't manage to unbolt the stock exhaust manifold from the cat. there's not enough clearance for a breaker bar unless i were to lift the car significantly higher than my jack can lift it, and i don't have an impact (not even sure if i'd be able to get one in there anyway). gonna have to give up on it for now and reattach the stock EM so i can at least get to work tomorrow, maybe i'll get an impact and try again Tuesday.

Hi, I might want to give this header a shot. At $170 it is a very good deal. And it seems that it doesnt have any issues or problems at all. Is the header the same as this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...46388224QQrdZ1
Thanks!!!

I just installed mine and I didnīt feel anything, but I got a hissing sound when I floor it? I tried tightening the all the bolts except the bolts on the block, and I still get it so itīs gotta be from either the sensor hole or where the header attaches to the block? I donīt wanna tighten the bolts on the block much more, scared of ruining something
weīll see if I improved when I go to the track next
I didnīt go to a dyno before so I wonīt be able to do a before and after, but maybe my 1/4mile will improve and tell us of some improvements

kwjustin89, just to clarify is this is the header you are using? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...46388224QQrdZ1 / How is reliability going? Anything bugging you lately? I'm seriously thinking of getting one. Thanks

I don't see how you didn't feel gains? My car pulled way better, especially down low, when I installed the header.
Do not worry about non shipping outside of US thingie

there might be some slight better overall feeling in the car but nothing to really tell about!
and I did a search and I found out that about the hissing, but thanks anyway for clearing that up for me
and yes the hissing doesnīt sound all that uncool, just thought I had a leak and was a bit worried?
I will be receiving my K&N typhoon real soon, weīll see if the 2combined wonīt give me a better impression

the new dc header has an 02 sensor placement change. i got an extension harness with it (manufact. june06). i originally got one that was slightly damaged (manufact. aug 05) that did not come with the harness and had a slightly different placement. I think the SS steel copy has the old placement.
