REDLINE: I took the liberty of running a search of the dyno runs that members have posted in this forum. Like I said before, I've yet to see much more than a 6hp gain at the wheels with I/H/E. And you think that intake adds 9hp, exhaust and header adds 10 hp?
Here ya go:
If you look on AEM's website, their V2 intake dynos a 5.5whp gain.
The v2 makes less horsepower than the original CAI, yet costs more? Haha...doesn't make sense. Or maybe this might be a clue that AEM posts whatever numbers that makes their products look good knowing that individuals like yourself will believe them.

Originally posted by akiboy7 exactly the 6th gen respnds way better to mods espescially intake the most obvious reason being that the trottle body of the 7th gen.faces upwards meaing the intake has to make a 90 degree bend.
I am lost on the 7th gen rsx the throttle body faces up, i thought it faced sideway like on the 2003 civic si. I need verification who thinks the 5 speed ex can beat the 2002+ rsx(base)?
Originally posted by R3DL1N3 when it comes out through the flywheel it would. well im just talking my setup. aem intake adds 8.9hp, magnaflow catback and hp header would add around 8 or 9.
there i did you the liberty of finding it for you.
i remember awhile ago someone posted about the RSX that gained 15 hp from a DAC DC CAI....everyone believed that but they dont believe we can get 8.9 hp out of an AEM?! pfff...you guys are damn crazy. even with dyno chart posting.

well have you ever tested it? i honestly doubt it. pay for the dyno and ill go test mine right now. and as far as the 7thgen vs 6thgen. our cars have 7 lbs. more torque than they do so thats something to remember.

Rsxtc, i never said AT THE WHEELS. I SAID WHEN IT COMES OUT THROUGH THE FLYWHEEL
maybe you don't know this but dyno's measure the wheel power NOT the FLYWHEEL you idoit

and my fault for not making that clear. i meant the 7th gen civic's d17 throttole body faces upwards.

find a dyno on that.
I don't see how your setup is so much better than the other guy who dynoed his car.
AEM CAI vs. Hayame SRI (You have the "better" brand here)
Magnaflow vs. DC tcs (Both companies make quality stuff)
HP header vs. DC header (I'm gonna have to go with DC on this one)
You mentioned that you were talking about FLYWHEEL horsepower. Assuming that you claim to obtain 18 FLYWHEEL hp from your mods, a 15% drivetrain loss would mean that you're putting about an extra 15.3hp to the WHEELS from your mods alone. Hahahahaha...
Like I said before, don't bull$hit yourself.
Since you trust AEM's dynos so much, would you care to give me an explanation as to why their V2 intake shows lower gains over the CAI?
youre going with DC header over HP? what are you on crack? HP Header get THE BEST gains for our cars, DC gets half a horsepower.
as far as why the AEM site says the V2 gets less HP than the V1. had you ever thought that mabey theyre telling the truth? and you said something about the price difference, why would they change the price for our cars when you know the D16 would probably get more HP from the V2 than the V1. its just opposite with the D17. it's more or less a mixed relationship. and why would you not believe an exhaust and header would get 9 hp to the flywheel? if the AEM site is telling the truth, then my theory would be more or less correct.
and dont kid yourself, DC makes crappy prodcuts. the only thing they make good would be the TCS and their interior dress up shit. they charge too much for all of their parts. they charge $100 for their stainless steel header over their ceramic header. thats how ****ed up they are.
I know DC isn't the best company in the world, but you missed my point. Your HP header *might* make 1 horsepower over the DC. Still, that's only 1 hp. I'm not going to argue with you over the numbers you think your car puts out because it's pointless. Even members here will agree with me that it's fairly hard to extract hp from the D17 w/ BPUs
Get your ride to a dyno, prove that you're making 15whp w/ your current mods, and I'll be more than happy to shut up.

its not like it matters on your car anywayweather itas steel or ceramic cuz its not a full 2 piece header its the small top section only. which means that it doesn't matter cuz it is not at risk of being cracked.

so you saying dc sports is shitty becasue it cost 100 more? wtf you are a fuucking idot, it might not be worth the extra 100 to buy it but to say it is a shitty product is just foolish
Originally posted by R3DL1N3 i never said 15 whp. im talking at the flywheel. theres no way in hell im making 15whp. btw, dynos cost a lot...can i borrow like $70?
Uhm...you said you were making 18hp at the flwheel. That translates into 15.3whp (assuming a 15% drivetrain loss)
I'll be impressed if you even make close to 8-10whp.
And why should I give you $70 to confirm what I already know? You're only gonna end up dissapointed at the numbers...
