For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

    header question

    I know quite a few members on here have ebay headers. I am looking at megan and obx because they are more safe than just some no name header, but my question is relative to the price do these give gains at all compared to stock or do they just look nice and sorta change the tones in your exaust.
    F22b + MP1A = mad fun for me now. . .

    I've got a cheapo ebay one on my f22a1. It was a significant gain over the stock manifold. I don't have exact numbers but I got a lot of throttle responce and top end power.

    I picked up about 15whp from intake and exhaust to intake/header/exhaust/new OEM replacement cat.

      That's an exceedingly generous guesstimation.
      Pretty much any tubular header is going to have a power advantage over the stock manifold. There's obviously a difference between OBX and Bisimoto, but they both operate on the same principle.

        I have no idea how much i gained when i swapped out the A1 manifold for the Megan header. My friend said not to believe any numbers that a company advertises unless theres proof from a dyno test.

        i just bought the header because it was cheap and i needed the flexpipe.

          I just had a DC Sport installed, and honestly I feel little to no gains in the low end.
          However, 4rth and 5th gear are another story alltogether .. and besides
          my engine bay looks better with a ceramic coated header ..

          I thank Kyle and his shop, Mild 2 Wild for the great work also ..

          A Hui Hou !!!

            1. obx sucks. i would never ever buy a product made by them. altho they just came out with some itbs for the h22 and thought about trying them out. its kinda hard to mess up itbs.
            2. dc sports header is no better than the stock header that you had one.
            3. a ebay header will be fine if you do a collector mod.

              Ok, I should have made an asterix or something...
              I do have numbers, but they are from 2 different style dynos (1 dynapak, 1 dynojet) in 2 different cities (Columbus and St. Louis) and 15,000 miles apart. I'm trying to make an educated guess based on other cars that didn't undergo any mods during that time, but went to both dynos at the same times I did.

              On the dynapak I made 136whp/132wtq after the header, but on the dynojet I made 110whp/116wtq before it. Most of the cars that went to both dynos were down about 12-18 whp/wtq on the dynojet compared to the dynapak.

              The shape of the curve after the header was much better than before (the motor could still breath well after 5000rpm where it choked before the header.
