XForce

[Integra89]

Can anyone tell me about XForce extractors? like where they are from and if they are any good?

[aaronng]

It's pot luck. I have a set of xforce extractors that they bought from a china copycat supplier (who sells on ebay as well) and they just tacked on an xforce badge on it.

ahh ok because one of my mates whos massivly into cars hadnt heard of them, and said they might have crap welds and lots of spatter on the weld which causes poor flow

Haha, on mine, the freaking flange is not flat! It burnt through the gasket and now I have to apply liquid gasket every 2 months.

The money spent to reweld it will cost more than the header. I'll just reseal it until I get some proper headers.

where bouts so u live? because i can weld and i know a stack of people in my workshop that can if you want me to i can

[aaronng]

I'm in the inner west. How much would rewelding cost? I reckon going for Toda headers would be more beneficial.

oh im guessing your from sydney? lol im from melbourne, not sure but if u were here id do it for free, im a desile mechanic on trucks, so i have to be able to weld so yea im ok at it and some of the guys at work are like champions at it, yea that would probibly be best, do you rekon toda would make some from an 87 integra, with a D16A in it?

[aaronng]

I don't think Toda makes headers for the D series..... :(

ahh dam, looks like XForce or HM, have u heard much about HM?

[johnprocter]

iam sure there are other brands?!?

well i have done so much searching, and pacemaker dont have any, one exhaust shop said genie might but probibly wont but i have seen genie with a set for a 1.6l DOHC engine but for a 87 - 93 civic not integra

[squish85]

genie can fabricate one if u're really keen... got quoted $1200 for mild steel... (that was for a 94 DC2...)

That costs more than a SS header from japan.

[hisoka]

nah xforce is pretty good~decent for the price your paying~used some headers ages ago on a sohc vtak engine.~

he diesel mechanic. u ever worked on caterpillar machines before.??awsome job u got bro. diesel mechanics are best mechanics to have when doing up a car

[squish85]

for the price .. 400ish... i would recommend saving up a tiny bit more.. and buy a set of 5zigen headers....

[specialst]

i got xforce extractors in my dc2. they are fine for me. no probs or anything. i dun have a comparison cos these are my first set which also came with the car.

[VTECMACHINE]

I have seen a fair few go by. I'd say 50% of them have clean welds, and actually sit flush against the block, where as the other 50% tend to leak, and don't sit flush against the block.

Personally i'd stay away from Xforce headers... but an Xforce cat back, meh, a B-pipe is a B-pipe.

[mattchuej8]

Yeah i agree, ive heard mixed opinions on xforce headers.
some are perfect some are gay,
theres a chance u could get a crpa one, u dont want to risk your money on it tho.
if i were you, save up a little more and invest in a good known brand that will definitely be fine :)

my two cents.

Not always true, unless you classify BuddyClub as a 'good' brand? my Spec 3 pro's mid resignator blew in the first month. And as good as BC are (?), they refused to give me a refund or new exhaust.

[hisoka]

yer BC has mixed opionions aswell, i have that exhaust story 3 times now from different people.

[we tec]

ive got a dc2 with 4-1 x-force headers, havent had any probs,ive had them for a year or so. they give a slight rexxy sound, depends what you want to spend i paid $450 for em and they look just as good as the other brands, whether they perform as good i doubt it but seriously if your cars stock with no MAJOR mods or engine work your not goin to get a huge gain in kw's so whats the point of spending over $1000???

[NightKids]

I'm sure everyone on ozhonda can vouch that they give like 150% more power increase than Toda headers...








Sorry i lied.
