Semi-Headers?

[knicks1204]

Question po fellow tsikoteers... Magpapalagay po kasi ako dapat ng headers sa gen 2 CR-V ko.. bumili ako ng headers sa Mufflerland last Oct. sa Delo Car Show pero ngayon ko pa lang po ipapagawa. Nung dinala ng driver namin sa Mufflerland yung kotse, sabi dun di na daw kailangan lagyan ng headers yung kotse kasi naka "Semi-Headers" na daw. Pinipilit akong lagyan ng resonator, muffler, etc. yung kotse para complete na daw yung set-up eh A/T po yung transmission. Gusto ko lang sana ung dagdag na HP pero ayoko yung maingay na muffler tsaka mahahalata na A/T.. na-suggest nyo po dati na headers & air filter ang ok na ipalagay sa A/T.. pwede ko po bang pakabitan pa rin ng headers yung kotse o air filter na lang? Salamat po sa replies... TIA...

even an A/T car can be installed with headers. There will be some gains too but it might not be felt as much as with M/T cars though.

so ghosthunter, pwede ko pa rin po pakabitan ng headers yung kotse kahit may semi-headers na? ayaw kasi nilang kabitan ng headers kasi meron na daw semi-headers.

Hmmm... bakit ka binentahan ng same company kung di rin nila ikakabit? Ire-refund ba daw nila?

maybe its a difficult installation or full headers might be prone to cracks on the newer CRV. (headers exit towards the firewall)

be wary though with the kind of headers that you install. if done wrong, you lose valuable torque which is important in an a/t and heavy vehicle such as the crv

[knicks1204]

would you guys suggest na try ko na lang i-refund yung deposit ko & magpakabit na lang ng air filter? TIA.. :D

[knicks1204]

bump lang po.. really need your suggestions.. TIA.. :D

ano bang itsura ng exhaust manifold ng cr-v?

[knicks1204]

sir mazdamazda, nasa likod daw ng engine.. yun ang pagkaka-alam ko..

[knicks1204]

sorry po kung makulit ako pero bump uli.. salamat..

If it's the new CR-V, the exhaust exits from the back... thus it could more likely be na it has less bends already outright so changing your headers might mean more on getting larger diameter piping for it.

My reservation would be that its a relatively new exhuast/header design so we still do not know of it's actual effects. Have you tried searching the net for any info on aftermarket headers for the type of engine layout?

If it is indeed better to keep the stock headers, changing your piping and maybe the collector portion may help a bit (it depends on how restrictive the stock one is)... if you want to be sure, add first an aftermarket filter.

thanks po vinj.. yung headers & air filter po talaga ang balak ko.. pero baka nga po i-una ko na yung air filter.. thanks uli..
