Hi,

I am curious as to what headers you all use for the CL7 Euro R with the K20 in it? as i cant find many options in NZ :(

do the CL9 K24 ones fit the CL7 K20's??????

any advice is appreciated

I would assume they wont as they headers would not line up properly. CL7 headers would be harder to get because we dont have them here your lucky in NZ with your cars.

You could try EP3R Civic type R headers or DC5R integra type r headers with some modification they will fit japan will be your best bet try http://www.nengun.com they will have some stuff specific to the CL7

hi

thanks for the reply, finding headers isnt easy, there are the Jap brands but they are sooo expensive. same applies for the exhaust systems, they are hard to find as well

The europeans have K20A in their Accord Euro's, may I suggest trying Honda forums in UK for guidance?

EuroR (K20A) has the 2 Bolt flange while the CL9 (K24A) has teh 3 bolt flange... I think thats the only difference.


EDIT :-)
SSR in Carlifornia makes a Hytech style CL7 header

Very easy to get cl7 headers.

JDM Concept sells the J's Racing Headers for the CL7 which will line up perfectly on your car 1fstkr.

FYI I have them on my car :)

Goodluck

I have cl7 Toda header on my cl9 k24.....

Had to cut the hangar on the collector and reposition it for the cl9....

Bought a cl7 exhaust so the flanges mated no issues

Yea of course different flange but you should be running high flow cats with headers and exhaust LOL. Stock cat = rubbish.

one of the perks for living here, so its just the flange that attaches to the rest of the exhaust. so the k24 headers will fit the K20?

so these should fit my cl7 with the k20 as long as i change the end flange that attaches to my exhaust

If you could do a before and after dyno, that would be awesome to see how the tri-Y design stacks up for the Euro. I have the DC Sports copy in stainless steel. Before installation, it made 110kW atw, but after installation and replacing the flex pipe which tore to a double braided one, the post install dyno gave me 119kW.

Tri-Y is hytech style header. It's all the rage in the US.

However. it wont fit a cat with out some welding/cutting of the stock catback. Because it's really long

Nothing wrong with the PLM headers (PLM for Private Label Manufacturing, they are in SoCal methinks).

Some people in the states prefer PLM over Weapon R.

The PLM headers look like a much better header than the Weapon R ones

here you can take a look at some Acura OEM Parts (http://www.racepages.com/oem/acura.html) on race pages, they have good quality replacement parts there...
