Default rsx-s + kpro , other mods needed to get more hp ?

Hi guys, right now I got I/E thats it.. should I wait to get some DC sport headers before I add my kpro for the best hp gain ?

btw my intake is from Injen (w/ the heat shield) and just a regular catback that was on the car when I bought it....

K-pro will help no matter what the mods. You can run a RH without it but to get the most power out of any engine/mods you need to retune. Make sure you get motor mounts or inserts when you get the race header. Once you get K-pro I'd look into an RBC IM next.

I was thinking of a regular DC sport ceramic coated header, not the race version..

is it really worth it ? don't want to get my car 2 loud...

as long as you have a resonator don't waste your time and money on a shorty header. Get the full race. Mine barely made the car any louder, just deeper and I love the sound.
I have the DCRH and Greddy EvoII catback

How does your car sound? I'm looking at that exact same setup. I love the looks of the Evo 2. I have DC Race Headers on the way. Could you post a vid of your car? I'm really curious to see how it sounds lol.
