97-98 vs 99-01 header (are you ready for the truth?) - Page 4 - Honda Prelude Forum

I heard that the SS has different stock headers to maximize low end torque, perhaps that would explain the different part numbers.

I personally think the +5hp came from the mktg dept. Just take a look at Nissan and their bunk claims of hp at the crank.

Just a question, would I/H/E on a SS be equal to a stock 5sp in terms of whp?

Also, is it safe to have the AEM pullies, since we know the UR pulleys can be harful??

I think as SS's we loose 5hp from 5spd.

Honestly AEM pullies was probably one of the best mods i did b/c my CAI took so more low-end torque away and i got some back w/ the pullies.

No problems that i have heard of

is that proven, has anyone raced a 99-01 lude with a 97-98 lude and seen who has won, then switch cars... to take out the driver's factor... cause i think there is no diff between them...

tho i wish i had keyless entry

I've never heard that the 99-01 Preludes were any faster than the 97-98 ones... Plus I doubt 5 ponies would make a big diff in 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times...

ILELUDER - no prob! Also, glad to know you found the CAPS LOCK key! Cheers bud...

hmm.. I think they also changed the pattern in the cloth seats in 99-01.

but anyways, a little off-topic but does anyone have any proven claims of differences between the stainless steel DC Sports Headers and the ceramic ones?

The interior fabric DID change in '99. The '99 also got the "micron air filtration."

(but it's on the left side, dude.)

you're right--
97-98 = 190 SS, 195 Manual
99-01 = 195 SS, 200 Manual

FAQ'd.

thank you, Klee, for this comparison and FINALLY putting this stupid debate to its long awaited deathbed.
