Ebay. You won't make that much power with bolt-ons. Not with a B16a. I've been told that PWJDM intake is pretty poor for making power.

Not. Overpriced for no power gains.

Default Re: header help

there is a new skunk2 header that looks very good, SKUNK2 ALPHA HEADER . dyno sheets are good too - several headers, tho replica's, are compared and results were better for the skunk2 header.

skunk2 header: https://honda-tech.com/forums/performance-45/skunk2-alpha-header-manufacturer-intro-special-1-week-only-2979052/ http://cms.skunk2.com/id/751/B-Serie...Series-Header/

could be a good option for you?

I'll probably order one for my em1, but that tegiwa header looks very nice
.....my em1, stock b16 w/ pwdjdm CF wp intake, spoon n1 axleback
