Alright, just looking to see if you guys can clear some things up for me, I've been researching all day and can't seem to find a definite answer..I know this issue has been beaten to death but please bear with me.
I have a '92 GS-R and I'm looking to do some minor mods to it in the future, just your basic I/H/E for now, as this is my daily driver.
Now, being that the car has the B17A1 makes things a little confusing for me.
My main issue is finding a header. Will any B16/B18 header work? If not, what exactly should I look for?
Some sites will list "92-93 LS/GS 4-2-1 header" with no mention of any parts for the GS-R anywhere, whereas other sites will list a header as a "B16/B18 header" so it would make sense to think it would work for all B16/18 variants which would lead me to believe all headers to be of the same nature.
But does it vary from manufacturer to manufacturer?
Other than that, I'm just debating between the AEM SRI and CAI..this car is going to be daily driven all year round and living where I do, we have winter for 7 months out of the year.
The way I see it the CAI frees up more power, is more expensive and you have the risk of hydrolock whereas the SRI is cheaper, doesn't free up as much power and suffers from heatsoak.
Should I just grab the CAI and slap on the stock intake come winter? Or go with the SRI and keep it on all year round?
Any other intakes worth looking at? I saw the Weapon*R Secret Weapon SRI but at twice the price (MSRP) of the AEM, does it make any (noticeable/worthwhile) difference whatsoever?
Lastly, exhaust. I have what I believe is just an aftermarket ebay special catback and wouldn't mind switching it out to something of higher quality (I have friends who have run ebay exhausts and had welds crack/hangers break off, etc).
So mainly just looking for recommendations as well as recommendations for either a test pipe/high flow cat..might as well go with a test pipe though seeing as how we don't have emissions restrictions here.
Sorry for the long-winded post, just trying to wrap my head around this Honda stuff again and get some answers from the more experienced.
Thanks in advance for your insight and opinions and Happy Father's Day to all the dads in here. :thumbs up
