I got myself a decent deal on a SSR header. My car is a 2002 Premium RSX, i am very curious to see the results on the K20A3 model. Has anyone else run one on this engine?
I'll have it installed within a couple weeks

 

wtf is a premium rsx?

 

In Canada we had 3 models:

Base model- cloth seats, no sunroof, no cruise ect

Premium- full load with leather, just like type S, but base engine

Type S- Top model

 

premium = base lol.


alberta crew!

 

Interested to see the results on an a3 as well.

 

^^ the only thing the premium shares with the base is the engine/tranny and the brakes.

Premium upgrades are-

- heated leather seats
- heated mirrors
- sunroof
- leather steering wheel
- cruise
- 16" mag wheel/tires

Does this look like a base to you....

Different company...here's the link

http://sixsigmaracing.com/home.htm

They make hard core custom hand built headers. On a type S, these header i now have been know to make make 19 ft lb's torque, and 7-9hp "more" than the DC race header, oh, and yes, thats at the "wheels"!!

 

That's a Nice header, I have one.

Read it and weep.

This graph show the gains of SSR header, All gains over the DCRH are shown as 0. So its kinda confusing.

How many pulls is this? What's the margin of error? Same day, car, dyno? Was the SSRH ran first and then the DCRH? I'm not saying it's not better than a DCRH, but those numbers seem way too high. They could have used the worst DCRH pull and the best SSRRH pull.

Those number about average for an SSR header. This was done by user 9Bells, and were done on the same dyno (mustang). Don't doubt a Custom hand made header when comared to cheap mass produced header, as 9-10 time the custom header will win, make much better power across the board and last longer.

Wow, you seem like a real hater. Since your great interest, here's the detailed thread to the exact header i bought, and all the answers to those questions so you understand these numbers are accurate.

It's the same header I have as well.

 

DTR fab

 

Why would I hate a header? I just want proof of those claims (I might buy it). Because I sure as hell am not paying $1200 for an n/a header if it's only a little better than what I have.

 

I just bought this header yesterday...will an oem donut gasket fit the adapter?

 

Are you sure there is a dc5 body that doesnt come with a sunroof?!?!
