    I'm new to automobiles so please help me choose what's best for my Honda SIR.

    I was told that to improve speed of my SIR is to change headers and high tension wires. Also, buy a turbo, but of course i can't afford that.

    thanks for your help!

    Agree ako na stay with OEM. Tingin ko hype lang ang mga thick colored HT wires, more eye candy than anything.

    Wait ka na lang sa input nang iba for headers.

    There are lots of good headers out there... what's best for you will depend on your budget. If your budget is tight, go ahead and get secondhand japanese headers from the surplus stores. If you can afford more (about 12-15k), get original mandrel-bent headers from local manufacturers (Mufflerland, Brodeth, SMT). If you have mad money (say, 25k), you can look around for original new headers with mandrel-bends, slip-fit construction and tapered diameter tubing.

    I'd go for the middle course.

    High tension wires do nothing. Buy the cheap sets and they crack really fast. Buy the really expensive sets and you may possibly gain 0.1 hp over a brand new stock set. You only really need good wires if you've got a highly tuned beast running at 1,000,000 rpm... otherwise... stock is good enough.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
