it could really go either way. as for the noise comment you should hear a k20 without a header on it. its got to be the funniest sounding thing in the world.

Not no header, but a cracked one.

Well that's pretty close to what yours would sound like. His is a DCRH, and cracked at the flex pipe.

No offense (you already probably know anyway) but DC is pretty crappy. There are much better race headers out there for your car.

yeah i know but i dont plan on keeping this header forever. im saving up for and getting ready for an f/i build once i eliminate some debt, one of which being the car LOL. if i had intentions to stay n/a is s/c i would have saved up for a better header but even when i bought the car i knew after it was paid off i would do a little more. i would love a toda header but $1,500 isnt exactly an amount id like to spend knowing that i would get rid of it in a few years. im running this rsx to the bone.

That's so weird, whenever I raced rsx's with that set up I pulled a lot more generally. Then again I always beat them really well off the line. Quick shifts makes a big difference too.

How much power does the 9 second all motor Civic have and how heavy is it? Very impressive.

That is a lot lighter then I was thinking it was
12.9 is really nice for a 105 trap speed. Was this on drag radials?

[franklinhid]

yea drag radials spinning 1st n second.

time for slicks

105 is a common speed for us actually. a few cars have done 12.7-8 at 105. i seen a few 11.5-11.9 at around 109-111

Very nice. I'm hoping to be trapping around 110 or so myself, but definitely not in the 11's lol.
