Can Header harm a Prelude??

[mattilude]

My dead swears up and down that a Header can "RUIN" an engine. Is this true?? and he also swears up and down that I will have nothing but problems as soon as I install the header on my 93' SI prelude. What are the facts??

bs is what i say

[dbebesi]

it won't harm a thing. he doesn't want you to spend money on your car, it sounds like.

Tell him you're buying a new exhaust manifold and downpipe because your old ones are rusted. Because that's what a header is.

The worst a header can do on a Prelude is make you lose hp/torque.

I have had a header on my prelude for over 5 years. 0 Problems, unless you call getting adicted to modifications a problem. LOL hehe

[mattilude]

lol thanks guys.. Now I have proof to show him that they wont harm anything. Besides they're on their way and should be here Thursday.

the worst a header can do is lose HP/tourque??.......... well I suppose only if the header was wrongly made, but buy a nice ceramic coated one from dc, there real good

DC-S headers suck. If you heat wrap the OEM header, you get a better system... I've explained why I swear against DC-S before.

well aces maybe i'm wanting a nice shiny exhaust manifold and not a rusty looking piece of shit

More power to you, dude.

[FastGuy000]

dc headers suck?......... hmmmm

[mattilude]

we'll find out how bad they suck as soon as I install mine.. I have to take my lude to an exhaust shop because the bolts on the downpipe are basically welded on
