quick question about headers
A little curious if it would make a little difference. I have a b16 sirII, skunk2 exhaust system, and a "drop in" intake and i got 149 hp on the dyno. If I threw on some dc sports headeR, how much hp would i have after that? just about? Also is it worth it?heres a pic of the whip 
?
?

Re: quick question about headers (KrazyMC)
Forget about the peak power. Look at the entire graph. The DC header won't make a huge difference in peak power, but you may gain more midrange, and useable power below the peak point.

Re: quick question about headers (KrazyMC)
he is not e-racing or asking about times, he wants to know how much power is really gained through a header. i think that is pretty legit. and to answer the question, i don't think it would be that great. there is a book you can buy at a borders (or any good bookstore) and it is only dyno tests with different parts on honda motors. they test just about all bolt ons and some forced induction. i read it some in the store and i THINK you gain like no more then 10 whp through the whole exhaust system. again i THINK. im sure you could research and find out.

GTFO. I take to your rule zealotizing the same way I take to fellow Christians waving the Bible under someone's nose like it's some weapon of enforced social reform. Stop it. Nobody likes it and nobody needs to hear it from a kid with 350 posts. Period.

That said, I think the more built your motor is, the more you will get out of headers. You might get 10 extra Hp out of yoru headers w/ intake and exhaust, but you could get even more if your motor was built. ie: cams

Re: quick question about headers (spoolingb20)
here is my opinion on the headers....
if you have the money to spend....get good ones...$500+ there are a few brands out there...do a search or look on kteller.
personally i don't like DC headers...not worth the money IMO.
if your on a budget then just get some ebay special.
you'll save $100 or so & you have something thats similar...maybe not quite as good in quality but close. and if you looking @ a difference of 1-2hp between the two...personally i'd rather have the $100+ in my pocket then the 1 extra hp a DC will give you over a generic.

Re: quick question about headers (jmayhew)
HA!
Screw HeAdArZ! Get a turbo manifold...
Seriously though, what are your goals for your car. I know when I got my Civic I said I Wanted to be turbo. So I spenty ZERO dollars on bolt ons. Waste of money. Some thing like CAI you can re-use for turbo but you cant re-use a header. If you plan to go all motor, then the header would be fine, or if you just want to free up a couple mroe ponies and stop, then a header will be fine.
