HP Header installed (pics) EX DIY updated AGAIN with performance review
Other Honda Civic Parts and ProductsPost new products, talk about parts other than Honda Civic electrical, drivetrain and Suspension. This forum is only for Other Honda Civic Parts and Products.
so lets say you get a hi flow cat and just before the hi flow cat have a dump put on ... wouldnt that possibly get us around the no cat issue ? which will allow you to put the exhust thru the dump or the cat ?
Yeah I got the Megan Racing Header, And I felt similar gains also. I didn't reset my ECU, nor did I try it out right after I got it installed because I had to make a trip up to Colorado. I bought my car up here and when I brought it down to Texas my car felt faster. Maybe because of the alltitude. Anyways, even up here with the Header my car feels faster than it did in Texas. Can't wait to get back to Texas to see how it feels, and also to get my hi flow cat (downpipe)
Jodster said: It didn't change the sound of your exhaust at all?
Since you're cool, I'll go easy on you. I already said up above: As for sound, I don't notice any difference at all. I have a stock exhaust, though. MY K&N FIPK II intake is still the same sound/volume I think. So I'm happy with that. I have heard, however, that headers will make an aftermarket exhaust louder. But like I said, I still have a stock exhaust.
Anyway, if you were wondering about a change in sound, no, I don't detect any. But I can't really hear my exhaust anyway when I'm driving, so I wouldn't know.

I haven't had time yet. And unfortunately, I won't get a chance to until after I get my lightweight rims mounted (tomorrow). So any increase in time I get is going to be partially due to the header and partially due to the lighter weight rims.
But, I will definately post my new times once I get them!
Dude you post that in all of my threads. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but $150 is not the best price for the used header. I paid $130 for mine shipped and it has less miles than yours. You can get them new on eBay for $165.

Alright, well I think this is yours on eBay. Same pic you use. So don't mess up and sell it to two people like some people have done on here before.
Second of all, here it is for $175 shipped on eBay new. Looks like it says HP to me.
And if someone bought it and it wasn't HP like you claim, then the seller would have a nice lawsuit on their hands.
You should get a muffler with bigger piping IronFist. Your Header will work a lot better with the bigger piping and sound better with the muffler. My muffler with bigger piping helped out my CAI, and my 4-1 header helped out both!! The three really work well together.
I have always heard that if you just get a top portion header, that it wont actually give you any power, that the only way to get power out of the header is getting the top portion and downpipe, is this true?
No, that isn't exactly true. You should get a bigger increase if you get the downpipe but mostly because it is just straight through (OFF ROAD USE ONLY) If you notice the picture that he posted of his OEM header and the HP header, you will notice the larger diameters of the runners increasing airflow allowing exhaust gases to get out faster.

I don't think this is true for the HP header top portion. If you read my performance review you'll see that I did feel a difference from it.
