    Confusion!!

    ok i have been searching through eba and the forza/Obx exhaust manifold headers
    and i saw some performance headers. im confused if there the same or if the obx goes behind the engine an the headers go in front of m engine. they both have headers in the name..
    Such a stupid question but i cant find anything online :shutup::confused::confused::confused:

    The exhaust manifold is in the back of the engine. The intake manifold is in the front. It looks like headers but they are not. You change the stock exhaust manifold and replace it with headers. So the headers would go in the back of the engine were the exhaust manifold is.

    do you see how my weapon r intake hooks up to my intake manifold in the front......

    and its not a stupid question people get them mistaken all the time. the intake manifold looks like a header compared to other cars that have the exhaust manifold in the front like civics as were we have them in the back.

    Correction to both of you. It's "header". Singular. We don't drive six cylinders. :D

    btw, if you get the Forza/OBX, be prepared to spend some extra money to get it installed correctly. It is definitely not bolt on.

    It only adds to some top end. It's not a huge difference.

    Wait... what? The header is in the back like we've been saying. The front is the intake manifold and no. No company makes an aftermarket intake manifold. If you want one, you'll have to go custom. I have seen a few before. Not cheap.

    you could always port and polish your intake manifold and the throttle body for better air flow but not sure it would give you any hp(maybe 1hp)
