I´m thinking of buying a header or a nice exhaust(rs*r gtmag).
But what make most power?? The car is a Civic HB with b16a1 motor in it with K&N filter, testpipe and a home made 2" exhaust.

Soo.. do I go for the header or the gt-mag exhaust?

 

You're better off swinging for both but to answer your Q, go with the exhaust first.

headers for power, exhuast for everyone else to know that you got something on your car....

Yeah because a $1000 header will do REAL well bolted up to stock exhaust.

Do both. Start with exhaust then do header. When I sold my Mugen twin-loop I had to run my stock exhaust for about 2 weeks till my new exhaust came in. Let's just say 2.5" header, 2.5" cat and stock si exhaust doesn't like exhaust gaskets to much.

 

the exhaust is not stock. Its made with 2" alu piping. Go for a new exhaust anyway???

Might as well be stock.

 

Change exhaust first? Which exhaust do you think I should pick??

one name comes to mind.....cheesefrog, stock exhaust, 10 sec car....nice little sleeper
so you all say that a exhaust on stock headers will do more than headers with "stock" exhaust...

He runs a ******* 3" QTEC AKA open downpipe.

 

Best approach is do it all. My motor put down very nice numbers with the HyTech header and stock ITR exhaust though.
