Headers usually merit around 5-10 hp..you're probably paying a lot of $$ for the fancy "Spoon" name.
Headers free the exhaust gases faster than the restrictive stock exhaust manifold...think how a rocket is propelled into the atmosphere...
You could've searched for this information. Cousin.

i agree. a header is a good bolt on upgrade but you will not notice the power gain by the seat of your pants. it is a minor power gain, only a few horse. i would have probably bought a dc header. i would imagine the spoon header if its not a knock off was more than double the price of the dc sports header.

i only see one question?
anyway the spoon headers youll find on ebay are knockoffs, they are just random ebay headers with SPOON SPORTS tags tacked on them.

Originally posted by NAiL05I was about to say when did they start making spoon header for a B1? So powerwise you aint gainin much. Your better off with some sort of Forced induction but the intake header should help the engine breath a lil easier.
I agree, but with his question of asking why a reg header would or wouldn't make power i think FI is a lil out of the question lol.
I personally wouldn't waste the time on a reg header when it comes to bolt ons. If i was really trying to go n/a i'd actually spend the bread for a quality heard such as smsp or hytech and the like.
I thought i read somewhere on here ( prolly h-t ) that the b1 header made by dc is an exact copy of the oem header just ceramic coated or ss lol.I love the bouncy...it's great...

It will give power for sure. you are paying more for the name though. if you dont notice a power increase then you will notice better throttle responce, but usually a torque drop .... i have a cheap header, i like it very much though.
The sig name is new from a local forum. sorry to confuse anyone.

why do people think i am getting this of ebay and it is...cheap. it wasnt cheap and if i am paying for ''the name'' then i kno what i got.. it was catalog ordered. im really not trying to be an ass. and you were saying that the spoon header i got may not fit my honda and ccomparing it to a shoe thats to big..buy the fitting shoe... buy the fitting header....

I think what they're trying to say is that anything that is not with dyno proven gains of over 10-15whp is a pretty cheap header. Companies that make quality headers don't have prices in the 100-250 range like DC, Ebay headers, Knock offs and the like...( cheap header ), they have prices in the 600-1000+ range ( not cheap header ) Bisimoto, Hytech, Smsp etc.
I personally didn't know spoon gave a flyin fuck about f22's and whatnot so i didn't know they made headers for f-series. Anyway, if your buying a header that isn't really mass produced ( DC for example ) than it'll probably be cheap. Not in the cost terms but quality and proven gains side of things.
I dunno if that helped but that's my .02 on it.I love the bouncy...it's great...
