sorry to ask a n00b question but is tri-y a particular design of extractor or is it a model of extractor from a manufacturer?

I have also been interested to see how they match up against each other powerwise. I have hytech style on my B20VTEC and it makes good power however the ground clearance is pretty shit as the bottom two primarys hang lower than the sump. I have already scraped them pretty bad and worried if I lower my car I may end up denting them as well . Also, FYI the highend style is a copy of the SMSP header which are suppose to make similar power to the hytech design.

Something about mixing cylinders 1 and 2 together just doesn't seem right.

Heck, even the Hytech doesn't add up when you count the 1-3-4-2 firing order.

cheers, thanks for that. would the SMSP style have better ground clearance?

looks like rage header wins - gives the best overall mid-range gain while only just making slightly less total power.

also probably half the price of a DTR

1st ones look like SMSP tri-y style headers...

[NSPYRE]

yeah, rage ftw... US$650 not including shipping which i guess is another US$200 or so. that hurts considering the state of the economy...

There are cheaper ebay versions which would probably do the same job for 1/2 the price

Rage headers are the same production headers as Buddy club ones.

yeah, was looking into that... the welds on some look pretty darn good...
