Hey guys. I've asked about headers and exhuast before about,which is best etc. Now my question is for those of you that have i/h/e...are the gains really worth it? How much improvement have you noticed? I'm very reluctant to put down this kind of money and not get enough bang for my buck ya know? DC ceramic header and ws2 cat back is gonna cost a pretty penny When it comes to sound, I'm not too big on that. So if the best thing is the sound it makes that's not for me. I drove an expedition with flowmasters for 4 years and got so annoyed by it (was cool for the first year or so).

Thanks for advice guys.

 

to me its worth it,but then again every individual is diff.

 

It was worth the expense to me and I'm still running the stock exhaust system. The before/after difference was not astounding but it was indeed a positive move.

 

i think exhaust and headers r worth it. cuz hondas are really air restricted. so if u get headers and exhaust u will feel the difference in power and throttle response bcuz it alows more air flow

 

So it's not a significant gain? Did you happen to do a before and after on your 0-60 times?

How about fuel efficiency did it increase/decrease?


Thanks for the input guys.

 

.your 0-60 wont really get much better unless u turbo or do a big upgrade like that. it is kinda a big difference. and gas milage is alot better then wut is was.

 

Cool cool. Maybe i'll just do the headers to start out with and go from there. First I need replace my timing belt cuz if that breaks the header and exhaust will ave been in vain. Thanks though for the advice. The idea of better gas mileage is appealing, since I plan on keeping this car till 200k (i'm at 93k now).

 

Get all your ducks in a row as far as maintenance before you spit big bucks out for aftermarket stuff.

 

I agree. Getting your timing belt changed and the water pump n such is going to be pricey ecspecially if you have the dealer do it. Mine cost a little over $800. So yeah, def. do that and then save up again for mods. If your t-belt breaks you'll most likely have to get a new engine which makes the timing belt change seem cheap.

As for the I/H/E setup. I am really glad I did it, although I wish I would have gotten a cheaper exhaust. But you have to realize, that any hp gain on a 4 banger helps. I noticed a power increase, and smoother powerband.

 

ya that is a must b4 u upgrade all ur stuff. but first start out with a CAI or a SRI and then go with headers and exhaust.
