i think he means losing 2kw compared to an expensive header...
eg....expensive header gets him 5kw while cheaper only gets him 3kw
a header will only do so much, its only people chasing every single bit of power possible that generally buy the expensive headers. 2kw is gonna make almost no diff in the car's speed. Spend the $400 on a Steel cat and a high flowing exhaust and that will give you more power something along lines of 5kw-10kw.
exactly waht i mean!!!Quote:

as long as i can feel noticable difference before and after the headers are on.
so what do u think?
-megan racing ($369)
-xforce ($400)
-5zigen ($720)
the price difference is nearly double yet the difference are little.
ever thought of edelbrock? ... don't think they're alot more expansive than x-force but are spose to have more gains...
You should give me the Type R.
pretty sure all he was asking for was the comparison between the two types and a branded one...
no need to just say "OMGZ NOOO!!! GET TODAAAAAA"
lol i agree hahaha ive got some xforce extractors on my lil civic and they made a big enough difference :) and no whistling noises either :D
buy ureself one.Quote:

shiiitt... man just turbo the mofo. extreme power gains there. lol 100kw +
oh btw. try asking dynodave. he makes custom headers, he would actually tell u how much kw u will get etc. :) dyno proven too.
dude if you dont spend half the value of your car in your mods you wont get respect, now you do want respect dont you? because we all live a quarter mile at a time around here.... and imagine all the hot stickers you'll be able to put all over your carQuote:

there's plenty of experience over in the states, from my research, i've found that most people who do these mods say the power is in the tuning. So you really should budget for that too i suppose, but im pretty sure even without it you will get a bit of a difference.
Keep us posted man, i haven't done the exhaust side of things on my car, its all stock, so i wouldnt mind checking out your results
get the xfroce 4-1 for your dc2r. heat wrap it to reduce the noise.
the end result. a marginal increase in power and torque. a bit of wank factor.
and less noticable noise. problem solvered.
