is this a good setup?

[cujo_cjc]

hi i have a 97 gsr and was wondering what you guys think on my proposed i/h/e combo

-injen cold air intake
-mugen sports exhaust
-spoon sports header


do you guys think it's worth it to be spending the extra $$$$ on the mugen and spoon parts?
or are there other suggestions u guys have for exhausts and headers for my gsr

for exhausts and headers i'd like them to sound pretty much stock and not really loud like other ones out there ;)

Money talks. I'm sure that would be an awesome setup! :thumbsup:

what he said!!
you should be rolling nice on that setup:thumbsup:

[1-Bar]

yes...good setup!!

[hyperwhite]

sounds good to me. i've never seen any dyno numbers on the spoon header but i assume its probably good. and the mugen exhuast will be nice and subtle. plus you'll get more cred for having the real parts instead of APC or other generic shit.

:bigpimp: , that's crazy. What do you do for a living?

Don't you realize that you could probably supercharge your car very reliably for that much and have a WAY faster vehicle?

I've learned the hard way - there is nothing dumber than slapping a header and intake on a 4 cylinder Honda...

[bighead2267]

for the spoon header. i'll consider Vision T1R since Spoon is make by the same manufacture..........(correct me if i'm wrong)

Or better yet, putting together a homemade turbo kit for even less and be even faster!:thumbsup:

I second this and you also learn so much while doing it. For the price and gains from a I/H/E I just don't think it's worth it.;)

[hjr]

the gains from i/h/e are basically but dyno results. the car sounds faster and the engine should be more responsive, but for the dollars put up, there are far better routes to move up the HP ladder.

[Seanith]

Even if your going to turbo it, you would want to get an aftermarket exhaust.

learning is always good....i say just keep your eyes open...dont jump intoanything, u mite find that ther eis omething better that u would rather have spent the money on...look at all the options..and then post pics when ua re done

[kolumbo69]

Dont waste your money on a spoon sports header if you search there alot better that will make more power, the best being a bisimoto header from aero speed. other wise a custom from header tech. Exhaust wise i think i would go with a apexi n1 or a skunk 2 tuner exhaust. OTherwise if u want some more power you could buy some pr3 b16 pistons and bump up your compression. But if your future plans are a turbo setup only a exhaust really applys

ya i'm not too sure about my set up now anyways

i'll prolly sell my car in a couple of years so i don't want to dump lots of money into it

this is all i'm thinking for my car now

-injen intake
-mugen exhuast
-spoon carbon lip
-xenon depot 4300k hid kit

totals to around 3gs so..:dunno:

3 F***ing G's. :eek:
Go with a custom turbo setup and spend A similar amount of money. Shit

[cujo_cjc]

^^
yea but like about $1100 of it is for my only 2 exterior components since my car is completely stock right now :nut:

so its really only about 2g that i want put into the performence part

Id have to agree with Mike on that one. you arent going to get much of a performance boost with just intake and exhaust. that money would be better spent on a turbo setup if u want some more oummmphh

My buddy did his custom turbo setup on his 00 SIR for $2500.00 That included the turbo. Not a used one either. A brand new EVO biggest.

Other then an exhaust and his turbo kit his car is totally stock. He is trapping 98mph in the 1/4 now.

And you think you'll be satisfied with Minor bolt-on's, It'll just feed the fire. Might as well start off big!
