thanks for the advice man. U seem to no alot about cars so wenever i have a question i guess ill ask u. And that srt-4 almost got destroyed today because of some dumbass bitch that cut me off by switching into my lane. I had to slam on the brakes and jerk the wheel almost going off the road or else she would have pushed me off the road. lol she was in one of those new mazda turbo suv's and wen i had the chance my grandpa told me to get in front of her so i downshifted and flew by her with my middle finger out the window. She tryed to catch me because i pissed her off but i was goin too fast. it was pretty funny.(except for almost dieing)
Should i just put the old header back on? I saw a race header by ODX on modern performance that comes with the downpipe to replace the cat for like 209$. Its supposed to be stainless steel.

how much hp gain do u think ill get if i take off the pacesetter and the downpipe and put on the kirk header?
Also how much do u think it should cost to do that?

I can give you an example for power gains, there is an R/T with basic mods, CAI, UDP, STS, LTH, and a Comp 400 cam who runs a 15.1-15.3 in the 1/4 mile. Since you dont have the cam yet you should be in the mid 15 second range...compared to stock which is 15.9 or so.
Oh and make sure when your order the Kirk from MP that they know it will be for an R/T so they can give the right one for the Magnum head.

RE: How do I make my 2nd Gen neon faster.
i looked at the picture of it and the header has two o2 sensor holes, one at the beginning and one at the very back so i think it would be ok. Also i have an 02 simulator on the second one already and my cel isnt on anymore. So if i dont have to get a hole cut for the second one, do u think i could put it in myself? I wouldnt have to weld it would i?

RE: How do I make my 2nd Gen neon faster.
one last question about the header lol sry. Wat makes the long tube header better than just the stock one with a downpipe instead of the cat on it. Isnt it more free flow to go into a 2.5' pipe than to stay in separate tubes untill it reaches the 2.25' piping? Wats the advantage?

RE: How do I make my 2nd Gen neon faster.
I ordered the kirk racing header today with the magnum gasket. I got it from modern performance for 230$. I have access to a lift so i guess im just gonna unclamp the pipe and unbolt the pacesetter and then bolt on the kirk to the engine and reclamp the other end to the rest of the exhaust. I asked him and he said that the header has two spots for both 02 sensors so im just gonna hook those right in. It sounds pretty simple but idk how hard it will be to put the new header on the back of the motor since theres not much space. And hopefulley the other endd fits right on the exhaust so i dont have to get a special pipe bent.
