kyekye09 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 as jamie said dont go by ebay bull....... if that was so id be around 200bhp by now alot of people think by bolting on a cat back you will get bhp NOT true its all about the first 16" of you exhaust(manifold ports to the primaries and how the down pipe is set up) long tube down pipe seems to work well on sohc when it come to torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Its more about torque then BHP with manifolds the 4-2-1 that vtec-maniacs selling should suite nicely check it out man ebay is so full of sh1te i learnt the hard way many years ago and just so you know you cant beat good engineered parts makes all the difference dont buy cheap cr*p you will end up loosing bhp not gaining. good luck in your quest mate.

DAVEMB2 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Yes like peeps have said on a 1.4 engine it does not really add any bhp you may even loose 1 or 2 bhp . But what it does do is change the power band and add a bit of toque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjacko1987 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 looking good. need some silicone hoses now and some cable dressing and a good clean will really finish the bay off nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
