I know that this just came out from Skunk2 3 days ago but I'm just curious if anyone has already ordered it yet. I know that I'll be placing my order when my tax check gets deposited.
I have the mega power header and the install was a pain. Had to get the em2 sway bar cause the stock rubs and I had to cut off the arm for the exhaust hanger... Cause it hit the subframe.
I hope it turns out to be a good header for that price. It should be, considering how long the RSX has been available and all of the headers available, they should have been able to refine them quite a bit to fit correctly and have good gains.
Just placed my order today, will be ready for me to pick up this Friday, my buddy is helping me install Friday evening so I'll have pictures and a review either that night or Saturday sometime.
In for some feedback.
BTW it does clear oem sway bar for us, "Skunk2's Alpha Series Header for the RSX is designed to clear the OEM anti-sway bar"
-From their site
Like Topher said the before results is with the password jdm power chamber and HKS 65mm exhaust. AAAAAAND the after is with the Skunk2 Alpha series megapower. Very happy with the results.
The install was done at VIP Performance in Portland, Oregon and they use a dynocom dyno
I'm tuned on a cold air intake, dcsports race header and hks 65mm exhaust and made 201.1 to the wheels im going to throw this damn dcsports header in the damn garbage. How does it make more power is it the design or diameter size?
Can't compare one car to another, way to many variables. Was the dyno the same? Was ambient temperature the same? Compression differences in the cylinders? You probably have a much better power curve then he does, which is what matters most, not the peak number.
im workin on it! i still have to order the piping for my exhaust and i wanna get an IMG on the car before the reflash, but the RH reflash is definitely the plan!!
Im in the process of getting this and innovative 60a (all except the front mount of course -___- ) and kpro when my taxes come in. Questions are. For those who own this, hows the drone inside the car. Since im getting mounts should i worry about any banging? any other suggestions would be awesome.
From the research I've done which led to actually deciding on getting a KiddRacing/PLM/SSR header (up until the release of this Alpha header), I think you have yourself a great header that won't differ much from this new one, personally. I hear it's the same as the Skunk2 MegaPower header, only cheaper. Now if you had like a DC shorty header then yeah I'd say it's worth it, but as it is, your setup is what I want
Ima cut the hanger on my alpha header alittle bit with my dremel to see if it stop banging and rattling
