Well, I've heard it before but have forgotten this issue.
I'm wanting to run intake and a header on my soon to be b16a1 91 rex SI.
According to This article:
Cold Air Intakes(long tube) are better for low-end power.
Short Ram Intakes(short tube) are better for High-end power.
With these being said,
1. Where do most aftermarket headers(i.e. DC-S, OBX. the cheaper ones) provide the most power? Lower or higher RPM's?
I'd like to match up my setup(and stop my thinking if I'm wrong) between the Intake/Header, so that I get the most HP(ha!)/bang for my buck..
(i.e. if most headers work well in higher RPM's, I'd use a short-ram, which also helps out in the higher RPMs, etc)
Am I wrong for thinking this, or could I 'cancel' them out(I/H) by getting the opposite, and NOT have much of a power gain(well... the 2 hp that i would get from them anyway.. lol), or 2. Does it even matter?
3. What do most mid-grade(i guess) headers do in this regard?
Thanks
