Hey guys i ordered the buddy club spec 2 exhaust for my 03 rsx, does anyone know about how much horsepower this will add to my car if any? I was told the exhaust was a cat back no headers. Thanks guys!

Im buying jdm race headers to put with this using my regular cat converter if this changes anything. Maybe an AEM cold air. How much would all this boost my hp? Thanks

wtf is a jdm race header...sounds cheap to me...JASMA headers mean they pass emissions btw.

Anyways i cant tell you how much hp you will gain...i gained 11whp changing my header. You can do this, dyno your car, as is, put on your exhaust, redyno it, put on your header and do another dyno pull. then if you want more power tune it on k pro.

The exhaust alone will not add noticeable/ minimal HP. You need to improve the airflow throughout, Intake-Header-Exhaust, to gain HP.

Ok thanks the jdm header wasn't the full downpipe exhaust it's the same thing as any of the other 4-1 headers just the header only. I wasn't trying to cheap out I just didn't want to get rid of my cat and get a huge fine for it. Said it adds 10-15 horsepower it's stainless steel as well. Thanks for the info guys

Pretty much what im asking is by adding these items will i notice a big difference in the way my car drives and the power it has or not really. Ill ask for the AEM air filter for my birthday so ill have to wait a few months for that.

Sorry this might be a stupid question but do i need to buy a hondata tune kit or something like that or can i take my car to my local garage and have them tune my car with the stock programing in it. Im not looking to spend 5 or 600 on one of those devices but im just wondering if it can be done with the stock programmer. And if its possible to change the rev limiter setting on one.

Hondata K pro is like 700 then you need to install it into your factory ecu which costs some money, then you need to take it to a DYNO TUNER and a dyno tuner will determine the redline for you etc. And, tunes range from hourly to a base fee. I personally paid 500 for two dyno tuning sessions. You dont want to just raise your redline, you risk floating valves, or other things going wrong.

if you posted this like 3 years ago, i would have said to get a crome chip and run the kpro codes on it but crome got sued haha
