Didnt know you can put headerS on a 4 cylinder.
Get the "R" lip only and the header.

btw- what kind of camber kit are you using?

comptech race header is supposed to put out more power.

Go for the header. You'll like it more than the Type-ARRRR kit. Just get the R lip.

So there is no way to get rid of the CEL...when you get either the JR or comptech header?

I know my opinion goes pretty far with you so................. let's see here ah yes go wit the header because I don't see you goin turbo for awhile n the front lip will always be availible if you know what I mean~!

I know speed is the first thing on your mind so do it&gt;

I think that the Tanabe looks good w/ the car...b/c the RSX has a lil roundness in it.....so..i think it looks good....but that is my opinion!

Why not...get the lip kit and the JR header..both will only cost a lil bit more than the Comptech Race header...besides, I've seen less people complaining about throwing CEL's w/ the JR over the Comptech which is definetly gonna throw a CEL....is the extra 400$ worth it? I dont think so...the JR gives very good gains for its price (500$) however its not as much peak up top and the midrange isnt as great but its still better than the stock header..also the Spoon header is ok, just because its made by Spoon doesnt always mean its the best..dyno charts/plots say more than what the name of the brand says....
