Generally speaking since we're in regular Integra land, I mean a GSR or less. Not an ITR.
I don't disagree that a 2.5" header is a good idea, however on a totally stock GSR, Si, plain B18B Integra, whatever, it might not necessarily produce much of an increase without tuning.
Not disputing Trey's dyno results of course, but most of the gains I've seen with 2.5" headers are on ITR motors or lesser ones with internal mods that bring them at least to that level.
And of course, the part of my post which you so conviniently left out of your quote, that in fact qualified my first sentence with essentially the same thing that you decided to point out, is as follows:

Stop trying to find every opportunity to contradict me. If you have some sort of issues you need to work out, contact me via PM or email.
