    4-2-1 header power gain? DAMN

    Hey guys i just got my "Focuz Racing" 4-2-1 header off ebay for my accord lx.... and my exhuast is not restrictive at all... its RICEY as hell... loud as hell... its a header - bored out cat - 2.25 exhaust, no resonator, then the muffler. well i noticed a pretty decent power gain and tonight confirmed it!!! raced my friends 00 cavi z24 and usually from a 40mph drop he'll pull 3 cars on me by 70mph... tonight he pulled 1 car from a 40 roll - 70.

    i had to call him and ask "was it me or did my car hang with you a lot better" all he said was "yeah it did" hahahahahah... now my real question is.. would a high-flow cat off ebay and a resonator in my exhaust restrict it enough to hurt some power?

    overall - if you have a dx or lx header... get a 4-2-1, DAMN!

            I have that same header, bought it about 2 years ago. I had 2-1/4" cat-back and I installed a 2-1/4" straight pipe to replace the cat with that header, and the difference in the butt dyno was much improved for sure.

              yeah, and what probably helped out is my stock downpipe size was 1.5 inches.. we measured it cuz the downpipe was fixed 2 times on the car.. they just used the same flanges the whole time so the diameter kept getting smaller and smaller. so i noticed my throttle response got a lot better and at low end, my power was actually there instead of sorta bogging like before.
