Nope, my audio systems are stock. What wheels and tire sizes are you running? Also, the Eibach springs sit higher in the front because Eibach test-fitted them on the auto, but it doesn't mean that they were only meant for the auto.

It Volk SE37A's 18x7.5 18lbs if memory serves me right. tires were so light added more tq-steer.

You bet you'll notice 30hp/20tq. crank pulley added another 7hp i think and 10tq.

Nice! Yeah, I chose to just order the underdrive pulley instead of the whole set, because the underdrive is pretty much the only one out of all of them that gives noticeable power.

I have the Comptech Icebox, and Comptech mufflers with a removed mid-muffler in the stock piping.

Do you plan on B-pipe? I also did a fuel pressure regulator and tuned it on dyno.

Yeah, I eventually want to get a B-Pipe. The only other mods I want to do to my CL are:

-Stoptech Drilled/Slotted Rotors and pads, to replace my iRotors rotors.

-Eibach rear Chamber kit

-Comptech B-Pipe


That's it

I highly doubt a crank pulley is going to give you that much power/tq.

You are really gonna pay 1100 for headers and 250 crank pulley ? And 500$ for install ? Bc i know that u wont do it youself. For that money you Are almost looking at the SC. Whatever you like lol.

The pulley doesnt add power, only frees some up. People have said it frees up 5-7whp. I dont know. The car revved quicker but it didnt feel like it had more power.

You can see that the front on the blue one is a little higher. It all depends on the ground its sitting on.

Your wrong about what I payed. I payed less than that. Also, I have a guy that can install it all for $100. I could do it myself if I wanted to, but I prefer a mechanic to do it because they have impact guns. Also, Superchargers cost more than 3 times of what I payed.

They actually do. lighter weight meaning less rotational mass. You gain maybe 3-5hp but tq is the big gain with pulleys (10 ft/lbs +).

True, but I did really like that mod because it made the car feel faster due to the quicker revs. I enjoyed the underdrive crank pulley second most to any mod; headers being first!

Civic, sorry to hear about your dog. It's like losing a family member.

And you tell us where youre gonna find another company providing headers for 6 speed... No on does. Sometimes you've gotta pay to play and for a 30whp gain, it's a value hp/$. And they def do make that power...

Huge difference with headers and Comptech Mufflers. Numbers speak for themselves...

revs faster = more tq= twisting forces which means more power DUH!!! I'm kidding (the duh part).

UPDATE:


So the weather cleared up and I finally drove my car today with the new Icebox. I mostly just drove below 3.5 RPMs, but I did do one 40-90 pull. To be honest, I didn't really notice any difference, but I did notice that my car seemed react faster after I let out the clutch after each high RPM shift.

My guess is that I will notice the icebox's true power after the headers get installed.

Pretty hard to feel a HP gain that small, but you will certainly feel it with the headers. Also, for those with the AEM CAI, there is a noticeably throatier and deeper sound when the car hits VTEC. Not sure how it goes with the Icebox.

I also didn't notice any difference in sound (not that I'm complaining).

I also plan on getting my whole car wetsanded and buffed to remove all of the factory orange peel. Should look brand new. I probably won't get it done for a while though.

I absolutely loved how quiet the Icebox is.

But Ive grown to enjoy the throaty, om-nom-nom-more-air sound from an open element filter.

Did you reset ecu? The pulleys should let engine rev fastern due to less rotational mass. Wont be much power but low-end tq should be different.

Do you guys think that my stock clutch will be fine with the added bolt-ons? It only has around 1000 miles on it.

It's probably close to being completely broken in. I wouldn't worry about it unless you were doing some serious engine mods.

As far as the crank pulley discussion, I remember there was a thread around here saying it freed up a negligible amount of horsepower. Backed up with calculations. I'll try to find it.

I was almost dead on with the numbers of hp gained (freed up but it's still a gain whp). You should def be feeling 11ft/lbs torque bro...lol. Your ass wants the headers bad I guess.

Damn who owned that b4 you? Nope you are fine.. Next time you go into Acura for service just have them look at it. It wont hurt. Major work isn't dont till 105k. Your clutch be fine if on normal situations you are granny to semi-granny shifting through the gears...lol. Dropping the clutch or power shifting (pushing in clutch/shifting under WOT) will cause the clutch to wear fast...

I redline it maybe once everytime I take it out. I almost always shift at or under 3.5k though. The guy who owned the car before me didn't drive it much because he traveled out of town very often.

I have another question guys:

If I give my car some slight negative chamber in the rear, will it hurt my car's handling?

I'd have the timing belt checked out at least. Manual says it should be switched out every 105k/7 years, but your car's probably well past the 7 year mark.

As far as negative rear camber, depending on how much you dial in, I don't think it should be that noticeable, but you'll go through tires faster.
