Header/Exhaust + Suspension? - Honda Prelude Forum

phoenix237 · 10-19-2004, 10:26 AM

I'm curious if you guys think upgrading to a sport header is worth it (looking at Greddy here). The stock header looks way better than most stock headers out there. And what about exhaust? What exhausts are supposed to work best with the 4th Gen? I was looking at the RSR ExMag and the Apexi WS2 for their quiet performance. (I'm not a fan of the rice sound).

Also, what do you guys like in terms of suspension?

talk to ludevtec95, he has the greddy rsr exmag combo and loves it. Greddy is a nice choice for a header. Rsr, fugitsubo, mugen, smsp and others are better choice but they cost up to 4 times as much. As for suspension, how much do you want to spend, how close do you want your ride to stock. how much do you want it lowerd. Do you want adjustablility? Those are all important questiosn to answere. I have been on neuspeed springs, on every prelude i have owned. You can get them for like 150$ brand new, and it has a nice drop.

Yeah, I have a DC/RSR Combo myself. Though I might be going a little more racey with the fujitsubo. I was told it is a great NA header with the best bang for the buck. Though I love my RS*R exhaust. Very quiet, and I do not have the cops pulling me over for some loud exhaust.

the Fuji header is $580 from PPP, not bad for what I've seen/heard about it, and Fujitsubo products are very well made. Too bad one wasn't available for the last SMSP dyno comparo, I really wanted to see how it would do against the others. Lol, the Legalis R on the other hand is a pricey catback, but once again, of quality construction and all stainless. There have been many exhaust threads on PO, I think I authored one here or on honda-acura.net which turned out to be a very long "I like my exhaust" "well I like my exhaust" thread, no one really hated what they picked. Since you're looking for something quiet though, I'd definitely recommend the RS*R, I have one, and, well, I like my exhaust!
