    Exclamation Accord 86 mods

    Hi, i has been reading your posts and all are really good, now my questions:

    I own an 86 accord who runs really good however i would like to make some additional changes to gain power, i have an 2 1/4 exhaust but i have not headers, can somebody tell me how much power can i get with headers?

    Another benefits from use headers?
    Some problems i could get with headers?

    Thanks.

    benefits are much better power. smoother and longer powerband, better throttle response, more wheelspin!

    cons - worse gas milage, because you will WOT everywhere!!! (oops thats just me!!) lol

    i think there is nothing to lose but they will make your car a lot noisier!

    Thanks Bobafett!

    Thanks for your suggestions, now i'm clear. The unique problem i have now is a Ractive 2 exits muffler that really makes noise, now with extra noise using header i will be crazy in few time.

    There won't be much change it your exhaust tone with the headers, but do get some.

    Get a header!! I have a Dc sports!! The gain is really good!!IM not sure how the Hp gains are on the pacesetter!!! Also when you get the header, bang out your CAT!!! It will give you also a fair amount of gain!!!
