I mean, they said I would get a 10-15hp gain from my Header.

Here look at how powerful my car is.

Motor 1997 H22A4 - 200hp
CAI +10hp
header +10hp
exhaust +10hp
high flow cat +5hp
fuel rail +5hp
FPR +3hp
ignition +15hp
pulleys +5hp
camgears +10hp
VAFC +10hp

That is equal to 283hp! Add my 75 shot of nitrous and I got 358hp! It has to be true! That is high boost range right there. I got a 75% hp gain from bolt-ons!

Actually, the only thing I could "feel" was my wallet getting lighter! :D

You should write for SCC or Super Street posting that type of HP gains off those mods!!! Lets see the dyno chart, maybe you got 1/4 of that power to the wheels.

I hope you realize that I was making a joke. My last sentence should make that apparent.

i had the same problem after i installed my headers (i already
have an exhaust and intake at that time). and whenever i'm
going off the line, at some point in the rpm my car feels like
it's having an asthma attack. since i'm still a neophyte at that
time (4 yrs. ago), i didn't want to mess with the fuel system
or whatever. i just left it at that. but after i installed a JG bored-
out throttle body (which was part of the plan anyway) that
problem have disappeared. so i never really knew what caused
it. but others might know something about it.

and that was the complete unedited version..
..where am i anyway? is this s*pe*ho*da.org part II?

BTW, i'm touched cause Mr. BlackDeuceCoupe cares for me after all!:D

I freely admit the reason I switched my OE exhaust to a Tenzo R Venturi was for LOOKS and SOUND. I wish others would be as forth-coming and truthful about their header decision. I was also looking for WEIGHT reduction and got it. I achieved all these things for a little more than 200 bones.

I think this picture says it all:

Weight reduction? Maybe a few ounces. The OEM muffler is massive in size, but doesn't weigh a whole lot. I'm you admit that it was for looks even though.......

Ok I think I'm done with this topic......Seems like this one will never end...........;)
