Default Profab header Works Good!!!!!!!

So last week I dynoed my car. My best last time I dynoed was 201HP 135.5 TQ with a dc header and prelude injectors. This tim I did 440 injectors and a profab header. The first pass on a base tune I got 206HP and 137TQ. The end results were 210.5 and 138.8TQ. It had a real nice torque curve too!

The old setup

The new setup. Header has rusted a little with all the moisture in the air from the rain. Don't mind the hacked up cross member it's just to get me buy till I get a traction bar. Sorry no dyno charts right now I'll try to get them

i've heard they are a pretty good bang-for-your-buck item, but they just look like shitty quality to me....i've never seen one in person though.

Hey man

Ive been looking into these headers a lot lately, and reading the posts on here about them. Just wanting to know if any what modifcations did you have to do to your car to install this header. I have heard that the o2 bungs are very far back and you may have to extend the wires...anyway if you could help that would be awesome..thanks

-Adrian

Chewie is my friend. chewie is bubba I'm Billy, but yeah. I am glad he let me run his header, but it will be mine soon.

I was using a 4-2-1 Piece of crap. I have never heard of people loosing power. Considering I know 10 people with this header I would say it works

I converted my car to OBD1 a while back and when I did that I made the o2 wires extra long. I also had to cut the **** out of my front cross member on my EF. I also cut my exhaust and put in a flex pipe that I can remove easily.

I like the design of the exhaust manifold, but arent there clearance issues with the motor brackets on the bottom of the motor where it bolts up to the tranny?
