I've been shooping the market for about 2 months now looking for the best set of headers and on most cars it would be a no brainer and i'd go right to dc sports but i havent heard too many things about thier headers for our 7thgens so for the best performance which headers do i go for?

We only have one header not a set of headers.

What else is done to your car? A header won't do much at all on a stock D17.

It might help a bit I guess. I have the Dc Sports but I got it for practically nothing cause the shop owned me. I got it for looks mostly to be honest. I hear good things about Kamakazi brand too.

Right on. Do you suggest i go for something else first or do you think the getting headers is a good decision?

I wouldn't really know what you should get next. Lets put it this way...Honda Tuning took a DC Sports header, cat back exhaust, and intake and made less than 5 horses. So, if you just want to pretty up your engine bay a bit I say get it. If I were you I would get a rear sway bar and lower tie bar. I bought the Progress one and it comes with both....by far the bEST thing I did to my car. I got pics if you want to see them too.

Looks good. Was it expensive at all. Another thing was i was thinking about getting some coilovers as well but i heard it ruins the ride. I still use my vic as a daily driver, do you think coilovers are gunna take away from my evryday ride?

By modding your rear suspesion with the sway bar and progress lower tie bar, how did it affect your handling? The sway bar thicker than stock?

Depends what kind of coilovers you get. I have driving in some cars where I could not tell it had coilovers (Tein) and some cars that felt like the suspension was welded solid and road like crap for a daily driver (JIC).

The sway bar helped handling awesome! It is much thicker than the stock one and much stiffer. It helps out body roll big time.

Another thing is once the whole exhaust is done what would you say is the next best thing under the hood i could go for to keep gettin sufficent hp gain?

Honestly...with our engines...after you have intake, header and exhaust I would say the next step for more power would be either nitrous or a custome turbo.

Whats the best price you've seen on a turbo like an SF one? How much hp should i expect from a turbo?

Is the tail end of the car a little bit more wild with the less body roll? Can really put the car where you want it?

you can get a used sf turbo for 2000 ish, hp would be 200+
P+P your head

go spend money and play on your suspension dude.

I'm not sure on turbo prices cause I have not looked into them.

The car seems to stay planted on the road much better. After i installed it we took it to Hell, Michigan where Road and Track and Car and Driver test there vehicles on public roads and my buddy even commented on how well the car was doing through those back road turns. You just notice a huge difference with the rear bar and lower tie bar.

does the tie bar do anythin really?? i have an rsx say bar, and i love it. yeah much better handling on corners. but i dont have a tie bar. is it worth gettin?? how thick is that progress sway bar anyway??

From what I have read the lower tie bar does a lot and really stiffens up the car. I can see how the lower tie bar could greatly stiffen up the chassi. I rememebr reading when this site first took off that people were putting on bigger sway bars and it was causing the roof to sort of dent around the sunroof. But the people with the lower tie bar did not have this problem. My guess is that with the stiffer sway bar and no tie bar the chassi was flexing and adding stress in a different spot and that spot or more than stock was between the lower control arms.
