Should be the same for any other Si. It's the same engine.

As far as I understand it the car does come with a header.. and an intake that does suck in cooler air that under-the-hood temp air.

It's all the same. Just like a stock Si. Except for the exhaust.

Re: (SIVIC 3)
Ive heard it was an axle back just like this:
I know Honda stated it was a " "catback" exhaust system"....but I wasnt sure if it was a play on words somehow.

evidently the best intake available for this car....
makes alot of sense since MAF diffuser housings are so integral now with other makes that use MAF, such as Cobb's intake for the Mazdaspeed3 which makes mondo power and is very little more than a silicone coupler, MAF housing with internal fins and filter.

People are not seeing the gains that he has claimed and others who have ordered have not received their purchase after a couple months.

Re: Best CAI & Header for a 08 Mugen (RICO_)
Best place to get all your FG/FA parts is us...
1. We stock it, like you can come here and touch the parts.
2. We have dynoed at least 29 of these cars including 5 the last past saturday.
3. We actually have the car in house to do R&D so you dont spend your money on stuff that doesn't work.
Vibrant Header has impressed us the most with power gains etc. The DC Sports Race header though is still a killer *** deal for the price. Cars respond very well to bolt ons.
As far as an intake, Id go injen. Thats what we ended up using. Power gains on all of them are about the same.

doing anything to a car like that... you will regret down the road. first off, you won't get **** for gains with a header unless you're boosted... and if you decide to get an intake, stay clear of AEM. unless they changed their design, they leak around the MAF sensor which causes a rough idle...

Our FA5 ended up with 211.55hp on our dyno.. It backed it up with 209.9X on another dyno.
Injen RD Intake
P2R TB Spacers/Gaskets
P2R IMG
Vibrant Catted Header
Vibrant 1626 Street Power modded to fit 4 door.
The header makes alot of power. In fact, if i had to pick again and could only choose 1 id go header over the exhaust.
I do agree though, if your fi, you need the header bad. We had a customer come in wtih a comptech kit with factory header and apexi ws2 exhaust and the car didnt even put out 225 and was richer than rich. With the header and bigger exhaust he would have easily picked up an additional 15-20 horses.

dude it's cool that you're trying to sell your products and everything here, but a header is a waste of money unless you're FI... at least with an exhaust you get something that makes the car look better and gives about same "power"

We have about 10 dynos.. I can assure you that the DCRH, Buddy Club, Vibrant header with factory exhaust makes more power than any factory header and exhaust on the market.
