Default Will I FEEL a JDM header and high flow cat/testpipe???

been thinking a lot about getting this set-up soon. probably DC JDM and CarSound cat.
but my question is....will i really FEEL the difference? will i see the difference when tooling around with my other buddy's stock ITR?

i remember back in day when i got a header for my 98 prelude it did make some difference, but nothing amazing...like i've been hearing about the JDM header on an ITR.

just wondering b/c i'm getting the mods for a daily driver, never raced. just wanna have more fun on my daily commute to and fro work, etc.

thanks.

I'm personally not one of those big butt dyno guys, I never feel anything IMO, but I did notice a slight improvement. It did help at the track as well where I gained an average of around 1.5-2mph in trap speed.

is the loss of low-end power that noticable?...particularly around 3K-5k rpms.
i'm sitting around 4K rpms on the highway, and i'm worried i may lose some of that torque when maneuvering around in traffic in 5th gear.

You probably won't loose any noticable difference in the low end if there is even any loss.

Contrary to common belief...the JDM 4-1 actually improves midrage moreso than most large tube 4-2-1 header systems like the hytech and comptech race....while still breathing sufficiently for the topend.

You wont loose any power whatsoever. I'm running 2.5" from the cat to the muffler with no bottlenecks and at every RPM point in the lowend and midrange I had moderate power gains.

It makes a very noticable difference. Great bang for the buck
