It might be small, but will be more significant as the more things done to the motor.

- Sat Sep 04, 2010 4:55 pm #212164 i see i see. i guess its just hard for me to see how the exhaust can change the hp but i beleive what you say, i have always been told that cai and headers and all that bs only reaslly get you maybe 2hp at the wheels no matter how nice the parts are, thats why i was debating this topic. now is that true or is that just b.s. because like i said i have been told since starting my honda game that when you see the ads for say k&n that say 17hp that it is bs.

so i guess im asking if bolt ons really make a diference
