Just installed my HP header with downpipe

about an hour ago i picked up my car from the shop with my HP header and megan downpipe just installed. I felt noticable gains after 3500. and i actually heard my vtec Hit as well. IMO this mod was worth it. i have the basic bolt ons by the way. headers,intake, and exhaust. the downside is that i think i will have a EVEN more heavy foot

maybe the heavy foot is the only reason you feel a difference.

hmmm i dunno because alot of members say its because of the downpipe i feel the gains. i installed both at the same time so i dunno if tis true, but i'm pretty sure its because of the downpipe and catback exhaust as well
