When Skunk2 developed its MegaPower and Alpha Headers for the ’06 and newer Civic Si, horsepower was the company’s primary concern. As a result of the long-tube, race-inspired design, space is at a premium, and subframe-to-header clearance is minimized. In an effort to please its customers but refrain from redesigning MegaPower and Alpha Headers – which would ultimately compromise power and performance – Skunk2 offers the ultimate solution.
