Well DIZ stuff is freeing up the flow of your car taking air in and getting it out more efficiently. Instead of using a constricting intake that is meant to be silent and give the car just enough air that it needs, you rid it of the stock pipes and just basicaly use a like 3" intake pipe with a filter on it. Header usually doesn't do much, unless you get a 4-1 header. Header is usually for looks, not much of a hp gain. Full exhaust uses a larger diameter piping from the cat back (hence thename catback), allowing exhaust to exit quicker. I/H/E is all about getting in more air and getting it out faster. Most people with cars and don't know how or want to modify much performance don't go past that. And your butt dyno will think you got some huge gains too!

ok!
 
hey man thanks i get a lil now so headers is for looks and intake & exhaust for power n speed im right ???if not im dumb

A stock header flows pretty well, depending on what motor you have. Stock motors have 4-2-1 header, goes from the 4 exhaust port and the primaries become 2 at the midpoint, then combine to one collector before the cat. There are 4-1 header which will give you more top end power. The motor with a terrible header is d16y7, and that is because the cat is built in it.

A header isn't just for looks. I'd say that most people do the header to complete the exhaust system. While it doesn't give you much more power by itself, it does make future N/A mods more effective (such as cam). The stock exhaust manifold is pretty restrictive on all of the models compared to aftermarket.

This website does a pretty good comparing headers, even comparing a couple of the different stock exhaust manifolds and some aftermarket ones.

I've never seen a performance radiator that was compatible with automatics.

i have, but from what i hear, there is no real need to go aftermarket on radiator unless your actually racing it, so i just replaced mine with another stock one.

c4rtm4n 03-21-2010 02:46 PM

while true...

The CXRacing radiator is pretty decent and actually costs less than an OEM-spec radiator from the auto parts store. But the CXRacing radiator won't work on an automatic so that doesn't really apply to this situation.
