Ok, stock 92 accord LX has 125 HP. Now with a CAI and 2.25" exhaust back from the cat what would you say Hp would be at? I know the EX has got about 140hp, so I would guess it would be closs to that wouldnt it? Also If I bought 4-2-1 headers am I really gonna gain anything. Ive read so many places that headers arnt gonna do a damn thing, so what is it?

you'll gain 5-10 hp w/ headers. the headers will gain you a better power curve, but not always top end hp...all races are won by the power & not top end.

If you have an LX, a new header is a must. The EX manifold is already "ok".

What kind of Headers did you get? Are they painted, ceramic, or stainless. I found a web site that you can get Matrix Stainless headers for 179.95 but I dont know what shipping would be. Having a 1990 Accord, I was looking into these myself. I could upgrade to the ceramic ones for $30 more. Matrix any good as far as headers?

Oh, that web page is....

Spend the money and buy a nice DC SS header. They are one of the best designed, and are of good quality.
