I think exhaust will give you more hp than an intake or headers, if your only doing one thing at a time. But it takes all three for a complete deal.

the best way to get more horse power, and sound better is first get a cold air intake, then do headers, a high flow cat. and exhaust thats the best way to first start off, then go with a computer chip, and motor mods, in the future.

what the hell are you talking about. exhaust only gives you 2 to 3 horses if any. some doesn't really give you any. intake will give you a lot more than exhaust

Aaaaaarrgggghhh!!!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] I hope to hell someone at Honda is dropping in on this site from time to time, because the general feeling we all have is that we want more power and the D17's are very though when I comes to squeezing out every last bit of hp. Give us a next generation B18 with I-VTEC (K18A ???). Please

some of us bought the car for the gas mileage and are satisfied with the performance[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]


as far as I/H/E, not worth it IMO, you wont get more than 8hp from the set, certainly not worth the money they cost save your money for when some better parts come out

Better parts ? Like a Turbo or Supercharger. But in order to make full use of those, you're gonna need the i/h/e anyway. In other words, we picked an expensive hobby. What's wrong with collecting stamps ?

An intake and a header would be useless if a turbo ever came out, those are critical parts of a turbo system....
