ok i know sum of u guys are getting tired of my stupid "stunna" post.
but im new to the prelude and i like to ask stupid questions so i dont have ask any one else.(so im not a dumbass twice)

stupid question 1: who here has ever heard of Qtec?

http://www.quicktimeperformance.com <---- their is a link.
ok, i found a dc sports header with this already fabricated.
so it bolts right up to my prelude.

stupid question 2 and 3: would you buy it? and will running open headers mess my car up?

please if it sounds stupid...please dont bash...this is the only place that gives really good advise.

thanks 4 reading.

 

well, from this picture, it looks like when it is closed, it'll just create turbulence ...so, other than the fact i hate the sound of a 4 cylinder with an open header, no i wouldnt buy it...



the dyno numbers it give is versus a stock exhaust...so yeah, open exhaust will give better numbers than a stock exhaust...but i imagine that a good aftermarket exhaust would perform nearly as well and sound SO much better...

just my 2¢

haha!!! when that valve opens, check out that red text, UNLEASH THE POWER!!!!!!! hahahahahaha. Its a waste of money man, dont even bother. instead, put the money to mod the collector on that POS DC header and you'll be much more happy.

so a dc sports header is a pos..???
i thought that was the best header to run on a honda...
whats the best header then?

 

shoo, if you don't buy it, let me buy it. I've been looking to buy and E-cutout and need a new header. let me know.

Ummm no. The best header to run is a custom made header for your application. DC Sports showed, like 2-3 HP gain over the stock??? i think that was the final result in the header comparison. Eaither modify the collector on the DC one if you wanna go cheap, or go buy a bad *** header from; prospeed,SMSP,Hytech, many other people but there are 3 big ones. decent header is going to run anywhere from 500-1300 bucks.

500-1300?!?
ok, i just want sumthing to run (instead of stock) untill i get enough money to put on a t3/t4 turbo kit.
in that case a dc sports...or this qtec thing... would be perfect right?


here are sum pics

 

running an e-cutout with a turbo kit is good. You can keep the sleeper look with stock exhaust and run it open when you're racing.

 

I had one for a bit. It leaked all the time, I really thought it was a piece of **** and running open header does NOT sound good at all. Plus your engine isn't tuned for open header so actual performance is questionable on a prelude anyway.

Don't forget to factor in the cost of modification to make it work. I would just buy a header and forget about it.

 

My car gained like 3 whp and 1 or 2 ft lbs of tq when i put the exhaust back on. during the header comparison.

Running open header on stock prelude will only hurt your ears.
