Is it worth it. On a 2.4 w/ K&N sri, what kind of gains would I see? Are there any quality control problems with this header? It looks beautiful, but I want some first hand experience from a few owners.

 

My only complaint is that Ive burned through three gaskets. Im not sure about gains, never been dynoed, but paired with my magnaflow I know it sounds great. But if you do get this header I would recommend looking into better gaskets.

Its worth it if you dont plan on going turbo in the future. And there may be, and probably is, a better header out there.

 

Hmm, alright thanks man. So did you feel any more strength in your acceleration with your setup?

 

I put all my mods (I/H/E) on at the same time so Im not really sure what gave the best gain. I do know that my butt dyno felt a good bit more power after the mods were installed. I would chirp third gear on dry pavement, and wheel hop was more evident. Definitely made the car feel quicker. I have read that the header gives some of the best gains for these cars.

 

The CA header is on ebay for 214 dollars.

 

What's the best header that won't give CEL's or mess with emissions causing me to fail inspection?

 

I honestly saw better gains with my AEM intake. It seemed like the header didn't do much, but I probably need a tune.

 

i have a CA header and i haven't blown the gasket yet

 

I have the CA v1 header on my car......its been on almost 3 years now/60k miles, so its safe to say it holds up great. I don't have any personal experiences with their v2 header, but i'd imagine the quality is just as good.
