I have a d16z6, and instead of just throwing parts at the car, i want to do a little research.
I have been looking for a header. I know some are the short kind, the kind that are small, and there is the longer type, i guess you would call it long tube headers. What are the benefits to each?
What is a quiet brand of muffler?
What other bolt ons should i consider?
I dont want crazy fast, and no notrous or forced induction, just a little more oomph.
I also dont want to spend much money, so lets not reccomend really expensive parts.
And if you have any of these parts, pm me details, price, and a contact number. Thanks alot.

Bottom line, you won't see any decent gains on a single cam without considerable investment (high comp pistons, cams, etc.) especially with an NA set up. If you want to help your engine out, you can do the regular I/H/E, but like I said, you won't notice much.

For the single cams, header style won't make any drastic difference, though I would recommend a 4-1 long tube style to maximize your top end. Shorter and/or 4-2-1 headers are generally more beneficial for torque, though I would advise you avoid 2-piece headers, as I've never seen an aftermarket one that didn't have an exhaust leak. DC Sports, Megan Racing, and various other companies sell good headers for the D Series.

I would also recommend changing to a bigger throttle body, and possibly upgrading your intake manifold to improve flow. Nothing drastically big, but Integra throttle bodies tend to be several millimeters larger and more air can make a difference for an NA set up.

Alot of people love the OEM S2000 mufflers, they flow better and are quiet, plus they have an OEM look.

The cheapest thing you can do is keep your engine free of carbon, check your plugs, all of your filters, etc.

I do have alot of D-series parts, the link is in my sig, but theyre for a Y8, not a Z6, so not everything may fit. I'm sure you can figure out whats compatible on Honda-Tech or through google. Hope I was helpful!

 

^thanks for the help, and like i said, im not going for big gains, just a little more go.
As far as the parts go, that would be for a die hard single cam enthusiast. For all that dough, i would buy a dual cam 1.6 or 1.8 and go that route...

 

if you havent yet check out D-series.org im registered with them also and its all about d series motors
