Im guessing B and D series exhaust manifolds are not interchangeable. I'll probably do a complete b16a swap later on anyway, but for now, i'll keep my SOHC.

What header would u recommended for performance and/or looks (oem or aftermarket) and what would be needed to ensure it fits? cheers! :D

where i could get these??? im looking at installing some in my vti next month...

i currently have a 2' cat back exhaust, the note sounds good up till around 5k rpm but then it goes a little funny, will the extractors help maintain its note?

that is such a clean engine bay btw. love it.

Get a stainless steel DC Sports 4-1 header. They are extremely well built, and offer high(er) power and torque gains than some of the inferior ones built locally. You'll have to import it from the US, so it will be an expensive exercise.

<edit>
I am curious, does anybody know where XFORCE headers made? I've never seen or heard of these before.

Seeing though this topic is up again, i might as well post some pics. I'm delaying any purchases because im thinking abt saving up for a b16a swap. I wonder if x-force do b series?

BTW do u mean this dc header?

Pretty sure it's d series otherwise i wouldn't of saved the photo. dc41 polished, dont remember much abt it, was a while ago and i should've saved some info with it too.
