Default System CAI + Headerback

How much power does the System Headerback add? With the Cold Air Intake/Filter?

Depends on the intake, header, and cat back.

On the low end side (cheap ebay intake, header, crushed bent exhaust, universal muffler)...you're probably looking at around 10-15 horses.

On the high end side (AEM or Injen intake, pro race 4-1 header, full stainless MBRP exhaust, free flow catalytic converter, and high end muffler)...probably like 25-30 horses if you're lucky.


I/E/H dont give as much power on small 4 cylinder Naturally Aspirated engines. If you add a Supercharger (turbos dont use headers or intakes really), then those things can give quite a bit more power, or if you have a bigger displacement engine (V6 or V8).

Hope this answered your question. smile.gif

dont expect much AT ALL out of I/H/E i think i lowered my quarter mile with that about .5 of a second

.5 of a second for the low cost of about....1000!!!

waste of money IMO

best cheap mod for our cars? a GOOD SET OF SLICKS

probably run you about 2-300 installed and will easily shave off a second with a good driver

Good advice from faith but honestly the best mod for a fast car is save your cash you plan on putting into your car and just get a new one haha. No one wants to hear that but it's true, sorry.

I wouldn't spend that much money on IHE as visionz said, won't do much for your lawn mower engine.
