yet another question that would have been answered if you'd ran a search.

You mean you bought a header without knowing if it would make any power, why would you do that?

I seached past post's before I bought mine cause I wanted to know before I spent the money. You should have done the same.

Since my experience in owning a header I have gone out of my way to talk about the power differance. But when people don't search, my past words are wasted.

Answer is, yes. A header is worth every penny for the gains they provide. Wheather you spent $160 for a pacesetter or $300+ for the DC Sports header.

as a first mod, you will not notice that as much as you would if you already had an intake system and or exhaust done. i added mine after i already had a civic short intake and 2.25 catback system. i noticed a huge difference, it felt like a real gain in power, vs the exhaust which i didnt feel a gain from, just noise. and the intake, which i BARELY noticed a gain from... but it was noticable. the headers made a big diff, and the car pulls harder all the way to redline now. :) you will enjoy them

Oh yeah man.....you will get some good performance out of them. They are less in weight and provide faster exhaust flow out to the exhaust........so it would be a good idea to have a cat-back exhaust system for faster exhaust flow and you'll have a good 10-15 HP. You'll also have a sporty sound and a nice look. The intake will also be a good idea to have next for the cold air(since ur ettin a CAI), more airflow compressed in the cylinders..and also give you a throaty sound and nice look to your engine bay ;).
