Riding height of Extractors

[Limbo]

Hi guys i'm just wondering if any of you have a b16a2 with a JDM 4-1 set of extractors on the car. Can any of you guys gime input as to their riding height once on the car? I've put the 4-1 extractors on my EK4 and it is riding quite low.

I'm looking at getting the JDM 4-1 but i would like to know if anyone else has these and can tell me the height ride. Better yet if someone can post a pic on the extractors on say an ek4 that would be even better.

I'd really appreciate any help. :wave:

I have an ek4 with 4-1 headers and 50mm lowering springs. The collector is under the slump so it scrapes all the time.

Have a few dents in it from driveways.


Just one of the negative factors of having a lowered car.

[SiR JDM]

Because they are designed for a head 7mm longer, the b18 (ie JDM 4-1) headers will hang significaly lower than the stock, or even most aftermarket b16 ones. Plus they are a different arrangement.

Although, i doubt they would still be the lowest point of your car? Would just have to be more careful around driveways and speed humps

thats the price you pay for performance

#1 don't get such low springs
#2 get the lower guard for the jdm4-1

does it hang lower than the front of the bumper??? tanghy, have u got a pic of what the lower guard looks like, is it just a custom made guard ?

OEM item

Macros - Just wondering is it only the collector that is hitting cos its lower? or the front also?

Hey Tanghy are those for sale? I wouldn't mind a secondhand set

Btw.. wasn't actually trying to lower the car. It just became lower when i installed the shocks and springs. They were a combo set for the Civic Type R from Japan. I wasn't expecting it to make the car that low.

what type of combo is that?

[Limbo]

Its a 5 zigen shock and progressive spring combo. Was designed for a CTR.

Hey Tangy what is the diameter of the JDM headers anyway? and what is the piping size of the rest of the exhaust on the JDM type R?

[tanghy]

2.5" collector but has iinternal bottleneck, 2.25 stainless piping
