Hey guys, (and girls)
I bought these headers today on Ebay for my brother for Christmas.

He drives a 2000 Civic EX. I was hoping you could provide some insight as to how much of a gain he might be able to get from these. I know the ad says up to 15hp, but I also know that the guy will tell me what he needs to in order to get the sale.
Please only provide honest opinions. I am no stranger to modifying cars, but all my work has been with domestics, so I am not familiar with how his civic will respond.
Please, no "ricer" answers of like 30-50hp. I know damn well he won't get that much. I know that many of you import drivers are not "ricers" and that is why I feel comfortable asking for information on here. I was thinking it would be like 8-10 horses, but I didn't know for sure. Also, would he lose any low end torque due to issues with decreased back-pressure?
He has the SOHC engine and it is completely stock as far as performance goes. I think he plans to put a full exhaust and an intake on at some point soon, but he'll have to do that on his own, because I can't afford that much shit...
Any comments on the headers would be great...
Thanks all...
