ive been searchin around looking for info on performance chips and other easy ways to get a few hp.. on my past cars you could get a performance chip for about 100.00 bucks and ad 15-20 hp... everywhere i look on this forum everyone is talking about swapping ecus and stuff ive never heard of ... what should i useif i just want a few extra hp and dont have any plans of major mods in the near future ?

 

chips are garbage.

 

the only way to benefit from chipping is to get something you can tune. If your car only has minor mods its probably not worth your time.

 

so ill save that till i get a little closer to the almighty turbo build ( ways down the road ) ... ive also been looking around at headers ... as far as headers go would i want to stick with a more trusted brand or would ebay ss headers get me close to the same power gains ( Hey they still look cool )

 

dont waste your money if you are going turbo.....use your head.

 

alright alright alright ... how much horsepower can be had by adding a high flow cat and muffler ? also what is the stock exhaust size?

 

minute, in the scheme of things

 

DC Headers have a good reputation. When it comes to extractors, its worth paying a little more for a set that will last the life of you vehicle. Stock exhaust size is 2.25 Inch which is more than enough for an N/A Prelude although you could go up to 2.5 inchs if your going to replace the whole system. Total power gain with extractors, high flow cat, and sports muffler 6-10 Australia Hp approx. Installing a cold air intake will increase torque and low to mid range power. With whole system running effectively your probably looking at 7 - 15 Hp Max. If your not into heavy mods these small changes will give you just a bit more torque and power that you will notice and will certainly give you an advantage over a stock setup.

 

so besides saving my pennies for years to turbo whats a decent way to pick up power... do ludes just come pretty unrestricted fromthe factory or what?
