I got a 98 itr complete swap in my 95 si hatch. Currently have stock gsr header, stock exhaust. It also have a generic short ram intake.
Just wondering if i would be able to feel noticable gains if i was to upgrade the motor with the following AEM short ram intake, Hytech replica header, some sort of high flow cat, apexi ws2 axel back exhaust with custom piping.

Reason im asking this question is because my bro just installed his tanbabe super medalion hyper full cat-back and it feels like he loss some power. He have a 92 vx with a 98 gsr swap. I also remember reading somewhere that with i/h/e, you will experience some low end power loss. Can someone clear this up for me, thanks alot.

 

you have to re tune a car everytime you add new performance mods to the car.....

you will fill some power with that header and exhaust..

however ive noticed that the aem intake is actually smaller than the stock tube. . your better off running a stock intake with out the bottom box..

and if your getting custom b-pipe why get a test pipe? just get them to make a header back to axle exhaust with a flex pipe at the header

 

Without a chipped ECU that is tuned for your set-up, I highly doubt you'll feel much difference...you'll just hear more noise.

I was running I/H/E on my GS-R on a stock ECU, then I spent the money to get a chipped ECU with a chip that was tuned for my set-up...I know for a FACT that the car pulls harder, I just need to put it on the dyno to see what it does

im guessing your talking about the stock itr intake right?

 

the aem intake for an ITR is a 3" tube. it is not smaller.

 

just in case cops pop your hood i would use some stock ITR header

why is that.

 

x2

 

Well I bought an aem intake (dry flow) for my 95 del sol vtec (b16 motor) and it is not a 3" tube.. its smaller than stock its the same size as the opening of the throttle body..

 

From what i've been reading, people like to use an aem ITR intake in the 92-95 civics. i guess it apparently fits and the piping is bigger so it varies from car to car for pipe size

 

jdm itr's have an oem 4-1 header that you can put a heat shield on....cops wont be able to tell the difference beteen that and a stocker

 

Not allowed to have a header on your car where you live??
