Default exhaust/headers questions.

just got a new 99 civic ex, im not going to go crazy on it, no engine swap or nething but i do think i should get exhaust and headers. everyone has apex n1, and dc sport headers. i was just woundering is there an exhaust/header that work better with each ohter?? by better i mean hp. what would u guys suggest as a good exhaust and headers as first mods?? o and was the difference between steel and ceramic headers, niether of them are cast so there shouldnt be ne obstruction??

dont expect a miracle increase in power by addin header and cat back exhaust system, u will just end up gettin more noise then power.

:werd: A header and catback will do little as far as power. If you want more power out of your SOHC then you better start looking into FI.

Exactly!

So how much have you dropped your car? What springs/ coilover setup you riding on? Got pics? :wopics:
