Heard that "someone" might be comparing all different brand headers very soon. Back to back dyno readings. :P.

Shit when is that happening? That will be exciting, any donations of particular header needed?
Why not a set of RMD headers since you are gonig to change the CAT. Proven results already with two ITR motors hitting the 13's barrierQuote:

xforce ftw
Yep, you'll definately win with xforce headers. Aslong as you racing a bunch of ricers.Quote:

yes i thought the same. There are slightly higher gains on toda but its in the +/- 1kw range. Depending on how much costs are will determine which one i get, Toda new for headers itself is roughly 2grand, not sure on spoon.Quote:

you cant really say what is better a 4-1 or a 4-2-1.
its jsut different power delivery at different points in the rpm range.
i have had both on my teg now and i will go for 4-2-1, but thats becuase i have a b18b non vtec and is a torquier engine thus a 4-2-1 will add extra torque in my powerband.
a powerband of a vtec engine is much higher and thus a 4-1 can come in more usefull for these engines. in saying that though, a high quality 4-2-1 can still be as good as a 4-1.
for example my 4-2-1 now had the same top end as my 4-1's had but they also have a much beefier low/mid range so its overgain was muc better than my 4-1 which was more above 4000rpm before it started showing gains.
so in the end, have a powergoal, and buy the header that suits what you want to achieve down the road so you dont waste money buying the wrong one.
Another option is a Tri Y header, which is supposed to give you gains all over without compromising the high/low for each other, u havn't had much experience with these so mayvbe someone else could talk about it some more.
yeah thats what im afraid of, buying the wrong ones.
my car has 4-1 on it atm but they r off a b18c vtec and I think they r too big for my motor... an exhaust place told me they r a bit too big (I could tell by looking at them) they r larger than the ones I had on my civic b16a.
So for my b16a im thinking another set of 4-1 (designed 4 B16a)
Would this b a smart move?
there are plenty of choices, but it depends how much you want to spend really.
you wont go wrong with toda 4-2-1, proven results.
if you dont wanna spend as much you could opt for a 5zigen header.
or cheaper maybe a DC sports, xforce etc
in choosing the layout i think collector size is important to consider. if you are not going to be building your engine any further than I/H/E then stick with a 2.25 collector i reckon.
if aiming for bigger power then 2.5 inch collector.
i got myself megan racing headers from the states, they are pretty cheap headers but heard some good things about them, i used to have xforce and these kill them. megan have the blueprints for DC headers apparently and have improved them further so i would say best bang for buck.
I was thinking xforce... im not looking at spending a great deal atm, down the track I will.
So maybe xforce 4-2-1 with 2.25 colletor?
I just dont want 2 make a mistake and get the wrong ones and be dissapointed :(
imo xforce was alright for the price, but i heard a lot of them make loud hissing noises. if you can put up with that.
if u are going with xforce then i would recommend maybe try megan racing from the states. or if you can spend maybe around $500 you could try get some second hand headers like 5zigen off these forums.
hmmm ok - thanks for ur help :)
I might hold off 4 a bit till I can afford something really good rather than spending my $$$ now on lesser quality ones...
:thumbsup: :) :thumbsup:
hey sally...maybe u should come and try my car out...i got 4>1 dc sport headers which are designed for b18c type r motor....got a 60mm pipe exhaust that follows the 2.5inch cat....and all i got is j's racing intake, headers and full exhaust...i'm personally happy with the gain
Really? Hmm yeah but remember.... u r'nt coming on the cruise cuz u will b hungova!! :(
But yeah thats a good idea :D
hmmm, yeah i might just come to meet u guys at P6 at watever time u guys r gonna be there...then i'll just go home after that...dont wanna risk driving all theway to the gong hung ova
cool :)
For 4-2-1 headers that are good at a reasonable price...

anyone have any info one these AN-R headers?
http://www.an-r.com/bseriesheader.htm
what are peoples thoughts on DTM headers? 4-2-1 to suit D16
hey guys, what would suit BuddyClub spec III Pro exhaust system on a DC2R?
Someone told me to get Toda header....but with that combination, not really recommended for street use and X Force 4-2-1 is within my budget....
1. Toda 4-2-1
2. X-Force 4-2-1
and possibly what gains would i get roughly out of these two header systems?
For a B18C you're better off saving for a better header than a cheapie.Quote:

That is they're not much point in just buying a header for the sake of having one when it hardly out performs the standard manifold.
4-1 ftw man
lovefab customised are the best fullstop.
for the h series anyway.
if you're going for xforce 4-2-1 extractors, i'd head towards american ebay first. it will cost you $500 less for stainless steel 4-2-1 headers shipped, plus its the exact same design and material quality. only difference is that xforce ones give you their badge on it.
you might think the quality is worse off and it will shatter if its from ebay, but it hasnt yet for me. i've gone >80 over speed bumps, and the worst that has happened for me was some of my flameproof paint was scraped off and a minor indentation.
what about Greddy headers? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GREDD...3020QQtcZphoto
took off my xforce 4-2-1 and installed my jdm 4-1 itr headers today, surprisingly bottom end felt the same but top end was good shit!
ps. anyone wana buy my xforce headers? LOL
You in Brisbane ? hehe
I'm using fujitsubo 4-2-1 in my 90 CRX(b16a1), i like em so much i got Fujitsubo RM01a catback to match and it made a good thing, the best thing!:thumbsup:Quote:
