Seeking an answer about Header upgrades on Civics/Integras

You may sacrafice some low end tq, but you'll gain mid-high end tq.

Some headers give you better gains for peak hp, others for better mid range increase. It all depends on what you use your car for.

Yeah I figured that wasn't true, but I just wanted to make sure since I've never owned a Civic or Integra until last month. Better safe then sorry I guess lol

what header isnt tubular? Ive never seen a square header lol

Tubular header vs Cast exhaust manifold.

Some people refer to the stock exhaust manifold as a header, so I assume thats what he is comparing.

Why would they prefer the stock exhaust manifold over headers?

does it matter if i get a header and have stock pipes from the header to the cat?

A new header bolts up to the cat.
