I saw these for sale on ebay and I've built some interest, but never heard of the brand till I did a search on ebay. Can anyone give me some info on them ? someone thats actually tried them. Or maybe give me another recommendation of headers for around that price range that those extractors are for sale for.

yeah, i wouldnt get it if i were you because theyre 2" at collector and mild steel.
do you have cat back to suit or not?

i got a 4-1 header for sale but you might be interested in $350
2.5" @ collector and made in ss.

not sure if that's what youre after as it 4-1, ppl say its good for top end.
4-2-1 would probably better for you because of your vtir intake manifold is good for mid range as well.

Heard of them before, can't say how they are..

Try X-force headers they are bang for buck and quality is not to bad! I have a set on my DC2R and i love them!

For sizing I'm looking for 2.25". I just need a cat extractors to go with the 2.25 piping.
TweetR got a video of your car?

No sorry I don't! Are you after sound or just performance? What car back do you have?

Had them on a b18c2 and maybe noticed a slight gain, nothing dramatic.

I run hytec 4-2-1 on my old b18c2 and i found these to be a good, fairly cheap alternative to alot of other manifolds out there. If your interested, drop me a pm and i can get pricing for you on monday

We had a discussion on these headers lately and the verdict from a few previous users was that they were a very average header at best, probably only good for some weight saving lol.

For $400 or so I'd prefer XForce. They're not a top brand either but a at least a decent product. Haven't seen many complaints about them.

Otherwise I'd strongly consider a JDM 4-1 OEM header or a second hand JASMA part (IE. 5Zigen or Fujitsubo etc) if you can find one.


Either way you look at it there's certainly a lot of better options out there for that $ ball-park.

[dougie_504]

Also consider what configuration you want.

4-2-1 design headers tend to produce better mid-range response but less high-end power than a 4-1 design header. They also have better ground clearance (if your car is lowered). For this reason most people choose 4-2-1 setups for daily driving.

Furthermore I wouldn't be too worried about a 2" outlet. That's perfectly fine and then if you move to a 2.25" cat/cat-back you'll have no worries. Any exhaust shop can join them up with a flex pipe despite the size difference.

Ive got those on my dc5r. I dont if they are great but it came with the car when i bought it. I would probably save a bit more and buy a better quality header. Just my 2c

Don't waste your money

[ekvtir90]

4-2-1 is my choice then, as I just dont want high end all the time want to have performance and sound of the engine on the streets, looking into mild steel extractors doesn't have to be stainless as the piping i currently have in my car is mild steel i want to leave it like that, don't want them mixing together as that could cause rust appearing.

Pacemakers look ok but don't know how it will do on a honda integra, what is everyone elses thoughts?

Anyone know any good website stores that sell exhausts or headers jdm. I found this site and these headers that seem like a shot but i want to hear everyone elses opinions.

If $400 or so is your budget go XForce new or like I said get a used 5Zigen, Fujitsubo or similar. Check the parts for sale section here.

Try to find RMF 4-1 headers which has been proven the best bang for buck header on the bseries market. I cant complain as these headers on my car did a huuuuuuuuge difference. Compared to my toda 4-2-1 v2 i didn't find much difference at all from 5,000rpm onwards, however low revs is much better than the 4-1 rmf.

On the track I'd say the toda 4-2-1 is such a great advantage, rmf would be nearly the 'same' for high revs

Xforce wasnt very exciting, also made the car sound weird.

Ive got em on my euro with no problems!

Hows the clearance on these rmf headers? Thats the only thing I'm worried about as my cars lowered a little.
Also know anywhere where I can find those headers? also will they fit with the radiator at the front?

Saw these on ebay the other day I'd love something like that in my car :) but too bad the postage costs are so high!

Looked up JDM 4-1 2.5" and it seems it runs pretty well whats the difference between this and stock ones?

Hurricane Headers are locally made by Liverpool Exhaust in Moorebank nsw.

they are proven headers as best bung for your buck! (tight budget) - and will do its job.

They have used these headers on cars that featured in hot4's, fast fours articles etc and they are not too bad back in the days.

their website dont say much but give em a call and speak to Jimmy, they are top blokes and offer great discounts on exhaust systems, custom jobs etc. (been going to these guys for custom metal fabrication work).

i fitted hurricane headers 4-2-1 on my DC2R, to be honest and clear about the performance of these headers - my car revved in the low-midrange slowly compared to the stock b series header, so yeah i had to change it back to my OEM one cause they power was poor with the Hurricane Headers. Also i still have them gathering dust plus the blue coating peels off them pretty quickly, also they were cheap but everyone is looking for quality headers...
