Well, they say 5-8 HP gain with a Honda OEM JDM header. Personally, I don't get it. Maybe someone can fill me in on what I'm missing here.

The OEM header works fine. Exhaust restriction isn't all that important in the larger view anyway. Intake restriction is what kills power the most. That why they put butterfly valves on the throttle body instead of the exhaust manifold.

And, assuming you are going for looks, this doesn't do much for me. How about you???



Imagine them discolored and covered with rust...
