Hp Racing header installed
I just got it installed and it really added some hp!!! I didn't expect it to do so well. Here's is some info: I have a 2001 Ex coupe. They had to take the whole left/front motor mount out to get the header in. It fit when they put the mount back on, but it made a awful vibrating noise when I drove it down the road. So, we cut the peice that was causing this and that is all. i haven't received the O2 simulator yet, but I will Monday. I highly suggest this header. Cutting that mount wasn't as big of a deal as i thought it would be. I hope this helps

It's all in your head. You definitely cannot feel a difference. Take it to a dyno you'll see what I mean.

I dont think its in his head. I bet he'll get better results once he gets that o2 simulator in too.
here's why the header simply works
it extended the initial 4 to 1 pippings longer, giving a better transition from the 4 to 1 flow, and a more even smooth flow than the stock setup.
it elminited the cat convertor and replaced it with a straight pipe. have u seen the inside of a cat convertor? its very very restrictive.
take a look at the DX, LX, HX stock exhaust setup. how the stock header is setup.
and compare it with the EX.
take a look at 5th gen (94-97) Accords. compare their DX, LX header with the Accord EX's
take a look at previous gen civics DX, LX, their exhaust system is also different.
I'd do this, but I dont want to say good bye to my mount, and I dont want to pump out more pollution.
DX, LX peeps should yield more result than EX peeps.

CapYoda is right!!! Have you seen inside the stock cat?? Replacing that alone should show a good gain. I'm just saying it's the best mod I have got yet. Take my word for it or not.
