Just wanted to know from people who have experience if the DC , Comptech or jackson Racing header is best? , Which intake do you think is the best AEM V2, AEM CAI or Injen CAI? and which exhaust should perform better 3inch or 2.5 inch? I hope to combine this with hondata, but the thing is that they havent cracked the 05 ecu yet, i think a possiblity could be to come with an adapter harness to connect a 02-04 ecu since its the same engine. My new 05 rsx does 3k rpm at 60mph and 4k rpm at 80mph, could someone that owns a 02-04 tell me if its the same, just want to se if the 4.77 does any difference
Thanks

toda is probably the best header out there. as in CAI the regular AEM is pretty good and it seems like you are going all motor so I would go with like a power getter exhuast. as for the 4.7 final drive it make 0 - 60 times faster.I think I'm at 3500-3700 at 80 not sure don't pay much attention. but the best thing for me to tell you is to wait. people who are impatient with new cars always buy the 1st thing that comes out. wait for the hondata flash they will most likely come out with one sooner or later.

 

toda header is probably the best. is it worth the 1300? that's for you to decide.

injen cai is probably the best intake. if you want a cai. v2/icebox/mugen is up in the air for best non cai intake.

for n/a applications, u don't want 3inch. that's only for turbo cars. i think 2 3/8 is supposed to be best.


for 2005's, the ecu unit is not flashable. hondata has been looking into making a harness adapter so you can go and buy a 2004 ECU and use it on your car. the 2005 ecu lacks flashability hardware.

the engines are not the same. you have different cams, different intake manifold, different exhaust manifold. not different by a huge amount but not the same.
