Default Profab header Works Good!!!!!!!

So last week I dynoed my car. My best last time I dynoed was 201HP 135.5 TQ with a dc header and prelude injectors. This tim I did 440 injectors and a profab header. The first pass on a base tune I got 206HP and 137TQ. The end results were 210.5 and 138.8TQ. It had a real nice torque curve too!

The old setup

The new setup. Header has rusted a little with all the moisture in the air from the rain. Don't mind the hacked up cross member it's just to get me buy till I get a traction bar. Sorry no dyno charts right now I'll try to get them

i've heard they are a pretty good bang-for-your-buck item, but they just look like shitty quality to me....i've never seen one in person though.

Hey man

Ive been looking into these headers a lot lately, and reading the posts on here about them. Just wanting to know if any what modifcations did you have to do to your car to install this header. I have heard that the o2 bungs are very far back and you may have to extend the wires...anyway if you could help that would be awesome..thanks

Chewie is my friend. chewie is bubba I'm Billy, but yeah. I am glad he let me run his header, but it will be mine soon.

I was using a 4-2-1 Piece of crap. I have never heard of people loosing power. Considering I know 10 people with this header I would say it works

I converted my car to OBD1 a while back and when I did that I made the o2 wires extra long. I also had to cut the **** out of my front cross member on my EF. I also cut my exhaust and put in a flex pipe that I can remove easily.

I like the design of the exhaust manifold, but arent there clearance issues with the motor brackets on the bottom of the motor where it bolts up to the tranny?
