The header will not only dress up the engine bay, but it will help the CAI and exhaust reach their full potential. Otherwise, the stock "log-type" manifold would constrict the air.
What are you talking about? Its known already that the EX has a lot better header than the LX in 5th gen's. Most people who have ex's dont expect much help at all if they have an EX w/ aftermarket header(minus the looks), but those who have an LX(like this guy) will notice a lot MORE improvement then if they had an EX. The LX header, on atlest 5th gen's is restricted, unlike the EX's. Maybe you should get a little more info on 5th gen's before putting other's statements down.
I'll say it again.... u'll gain more (meaning total power gain) with having the headers on a LX than a EX because of the way the factory headers were already built.
