headers?....HELP!

[sinseven]

i no youll be looking and saying SEARCH! but thats not going to help me with my question...

been told i need to get a custom header but i feel i dont need to but i could be wrong..

its a type r in an eg sedan..so what i need help in is do i need custom headers or can i use branded? if so what brands and how much? also can the headers just connect to the stock exhaust?

sorry about the questions just really need this clarified up for me

cheers

it fits, but b18c headers hang lower.. it's the header back piping that will be of different length

[sinseven]

Or would even stock be ok?

Dsp26 you recommend gettin custom?

[vinnY]

you'd only have to modify your b-pipe to get it to fit if it is actually a different length
no need to get custom headers made up

pretty sure you're not the only guy in the world to get a b16/b18 into an eg sedan
search up honda-tech.com for more info

How much would that cost? Im on budget but like I said should I just run stock headers for the mean time or atleast change headers and leave it stock exhaust?

[vinnY]

doesn't matter what b series headers you're gonna use, still not gonna fit if your bpipe/cat is the wrong length

[VT3C]

sounds like you're a bit of a newb (no offence) so I'd say just run withthe stock headers for now.. as someone else mentioned, you may need to extend the 'B-pipe' which is the exhaust piping from the cat-convertor backwards to the rear axle.

[sinseven]

Haha I am a newb and no offence taken. I gota start some where but just don't want to annoy people with my stupid questions..

Back to topic thanks vinnY and VT3C for the info ill just leave it stock for now.

Just wonder if the guy will still install if I leave it stock as he was demanding to have custom headers and exhaust!

[vinnY]

probably won't need custom, just modification

[sinseven]

Ill have to talk to him and see what he'll do as I can't really fork out more cash for the motor

[RandyRhydah]

my standard headers fitted fine, but modification was needed when i bought aftermarket headers (was slightly longer then standard)

[OMG.JAI xD]

Get a decat. 4 way adjustable straight pipe.

Works wonders. Search it up on ebay usa.

no stock itr exhaust will work on your sedan
oz or jdm
but not mixed

so you can use either both will line up fine
or any jdm aftermarket exhaust will line up if its for a eg9 / dc2r / db8r
chasis are roughly the same lenght

[dsp26]

just to answer the 'custom' question.. i would never ever again get a custom header back piping done unless you know for sure the exhaust shop is competent and simply didn't graduate from fitting tyres at a tyre shop.

This is because every one i've been to including the big popular names in liverpool and bankstown do such a shit job of welding that you get weld leaks between the joins which create sharp pointy areas in excess of 1cm length inside the exhaust pipe diameter that screw air flow massively anyway.

i'm sure there are good shops out there but the only shop i've been to thats done a 110% job is Performance Exhaust in Northmead (Hakan)

[sinseven]

yeah thats what scares me i spend $$$ and i get a dodgy job done i guess i will just have to look into it more cheers for help
