typeR aus spec oem header vs after market

[locote]

are type R headers as good as after market 4-2-1 headers, what kind of gains would i see in a 96 gsi and what would be the best exhaust diameter to get in press bent??

or would 4-1 headers be better, i know they are mainly for top end power. how would they work on a non vtec motor which redlines a 7000rpm. does any one have any experience.

[quangsta]

auspec type r headers are susposedly the same as my vtir headers so yerr i dont think they would be that good and as adrian from toda au said if u aint got the money go for x-force headers they would be equal to jdm headers but for half the price....or something like that...
as for diameter of zorst type r's run 2.25 or there aboutz and pplz say max diameter for a b series is about 2.5 so yerr not much room to work with but atleast you roughly know whats best....

aus spec itr headers are junk, heavy and ugly POS

aus spec itr headers are junk, heavy and ugly POS

simple but str8 up answer...

but reason for aftermarket headers are because they are better in most cases...

[jords]

What about JDM 4-1?

[locote]

does mandrel bends make much difference if i put xforce header and 2.25' zorst

[locote]

i got told that b18c headers wont fit a b18b is that true, i wanna get the 4-1 headers from xforce

[locote]

so would it make much difference in power getting the jdm 4-1 or xforce 4-1 as oppesed to aftermarket 4-2-1 not aus typeR??

[quangsta]

mandrel bends susposedly give almost a 50% better air flow rate as oppose to crush bends, not sure if crush bends are the same and press bends but yerr main point is mandrel bends make a difference....so ive heard =)

[locote]

can some 1 please help

[faijai]

depends what ur after
4-1 better top end and can feel the bottom end lagging on the jdm 4-1's
4-2-1 better bottom to mid end power.
jdm 4-1 headers r good and go for n e where form 650-800.
aftermarket gof rom n e where from 300-1500

so what type of headers have ya got dave? =P

[^_^civic^_^]

I heard that these headers r meant to b pretty good in civics also...this true?

[^_^civic^_^]

oops, meant 2 say that the stock typre r headers r meant to be good?

[locote]

so would i get any gains from aus spec typerR 4-2-1 headers they are stok honda 1s

[Da1nONLY]

aus spec itr headers are junk, heavy and ugly POS

Please explain... why are they POS??

[locote]

they r surely better than a stok gsi manifold!!!!
the desing is totaly different

[Da1nONLY]

yeah im asking nipnip why he thinks stock ITR headers are shit.

[locote]

What do you think??
Ill get at least 10hp gain thats all im hoping to get

[faijai]

stock itr headers r too small and they have a bottleneck on them.
have u seen how small they r da1nonly?
tiny lil babys!

[Da1nONLY]

the stock headers are great.. =)

10hp on a Gsi with only headers...
hmmmz... just cruise the car around =)
tbh...its a waste trying to do up a GSi.
just sell it and get a type R =P

[locote]

the headers are only temp to have some balls for like a month to 3 months then im getting it turbo charged.

i cant drive a stok car i have to do something to it!!!!!!!!!!!!

well compared to the JDM ..yes they are small.. =P
come out sometimes..
and we'll give it a hit or two...
see how your aftermarket goes against a stockeR =P

yeah.... well get a canon muffler, that'll give you some noise..
will make you think your cars a little faster =)

[faijai]

hehe da1nonly, forgot ya names. sorry bro.
ive only got stock headers also. even my exhaust is stock. ffs the whole cars stock! haha.

got a chance to drive frends car when he got jdm 4-1 headers on and felt the difference immediately.

[locote]

lol!!!
ill know how slow it is on sunday im taking it to the drags.
ill be happy with low 16s, high 15s.

All ive done to it is cold air intake with k&n pod in stok box. it doesnt go that bad. ill give v6 commos a good run and some 5lts to.

i had a 12sec 200sx before hoping this to be as quik or even quiker 1 day

[locote]

Ill never get the power i want staying atmo. and lumpy ass cams cost heaps and need alot of tunning and who knows how much hp you gain

[locote]

got my itr aus headers they are not cast iron, not heavy, and would for sure make a diference compared to the stok gsi manifold, i just fixed them up and they look like new
