Hey everyone, i ordered my spoon N1 exhaust for my 04 a few months back and i think they're finally gonna come soon. I just wanted to ask what headers work well with this exhaust in terms of power gains? I know the s2k is a delicate car to modify because randomly putting parts will mostly yield no gains so if anyone has any suggestions or experiences with headers for this exhaust let me know! Also if anyone can give me some more info on the exhaust that'll be great. I read in one of the threads here that it drones a lot around 4-5k rpm and also what's the approximate weight savings? Thanks!

 

Just stick with OEM.

 

This is it. You won't find a better header for this car without breaking the bank. Even then the benefit is minor and in most cases of aftermarket header the car loses power

 

Oh wow thats great thanks haha, but just out of curiosity, how much would a header that will yield gains cost?

 

The ones that have shown gains are the hytech or j's with is $1400+ or the ballade sports which is $800 and on a stock motor with just bolt ons and a tune it is a small gain. Get a test pipe and a tune instead. Lower vtec.

 

i've got a 5zigen pro racer, proven to make small gains but its japanese made and jasma cert. $700 shipped

Yea i think getting my exhaust plus my intake, a tune and coilovers plus new wheels and tires will make it overall solid. But i live in Toronto and i don't know what exactly and where to go for a tune

 

^ I meant to say was what exactly do i need to get in order to get a tune, like all the components i need lol i don't know why i kinda stopped halfway through my sentence

 

Get the Berk perfect and it adds power in the mid range which is what you want in our cars.
