I have been looking for things to upgrade and I personally decided to buy the DC 4-2-1 headers with the AEM V2 intake. I would like to know if I am buying something good here and How much power can I get from this?? I also will buy the Whiteline strut bar from Muz and I wanted to know first if the strut bar manufactured by Whiteline fit with no problem with the AEM V2 intake?


Thanks for your help!!
God Bless!

 

the DC header will give you zero gains, but will shave off 10 pounds from the 22lb stock header. headers are for v6's and v8's and anything that has more than one exhaust manifold pushed through pipes.

not sure on fitment with the whiteline stb. but one thing is for sure, it will do nothing at all for you, especially since the s2000 doesn't have struts. it has shocks and therefore works on a different suspension gemoetry whereby the top mounts of the shocks are not going to flex like the tops of struts would.

 

So buying and Strut Bar I just will be adding some kind of style to the car??? I mean will not improve handling, neither making it worst??? right??

 

correct. it will do nothing for you. but it's a shock tower bar, not a strut bar, since there are no struts in this car.

 

Thanks Bagel!! I now get it!!
Thanks!

 

get an x brace instead of the STB..... however if you want some bling in the engine bay then get a STB... and yes it will be very close to the aem intake.. and at time it will hit...

 

get a 4.77 final drive

I made excellent gains with my Comptech header on my DC2 - and it isnt a V6 or V8. I wouldnt go as far as saying you shouldnt get a header for a 4-cyl car.

the F20c already has a header on it and it is tuned quite well. It isn't pretty and weighs in at 22lbs, but the power bands you are looking for are not going to increase as much as a DC2 would.
