I’m sorry but I doubt a throttle body spacer will give you any significant power. And as far as the header thing goes… believe what you want, but the designs that make the most power are out there and they are expensive. DTR/SSR/Hytech/SMSP/etc. make a superior product with a lot of time and effort into their headers.

With all the wastegate noise claims, I just though it was a joke. My post wasn’t intended to insult you, so I apologize for that. Good luck with the part.

And I can agree with lance that people on here are a-hole’s, but I can guarantee you that I am not one of them.

A good gain would be very nice! Don’t be worried about the peak numbers, look for more area under the curve. Good luck :up

Guys stop giving her a hard time.

Spacers do give HP believe it or not. NWP makes a Maxima spacer for the TB and the IM if coupled together, they do result in around a 20hp game and 40\* drop in temperature.

As far as the header…I have one thing to say to you…

GET HONDA GASKETS…PLEASE!!! The ones that come with headers (and mine looked EXACTLY like yours) such big shlong. They burn EASY. My OEM ones are metal, they’ll never burn. I made the mistake of using the ones that came with the headers and had to tear everything back apart.

Uhh… wut? I’m not giving anyone a hard time, I’m stating facts. I’ll believe a 20whp gain from a tb spacer when I see it and then I will ask myself why in the world every person on here doesn’t have one.

He was planning on going turbo, no sense in spending a ridiculous amount on a temporary set-up

Yep exactly, AND if dkid knew the whole story…Mike did a little modding to the header and actually performed better than the DC and OBX swap headers.

cough cough why are you giving me shit then? The header doesnt fit on a k24. I will be running either the hytec or possibly the ssr next season. this header was 235 dollars and is an exact replica to the comptech.
