Ive been searching but i have found nothing. either there are not many or i really suck at searching for them (do no comment haha)


but i found a handful of companies (that are reputable) that make header

DC, Comptech, 5Zigen, ASM, Toda,


i was wondering if anyone know of any other options?
im asking because this forum is very hyped up on comptech (because its best bang for buck) but i was wondering if the more expensive header (toda, ASM, 5zigen) are any better (besides in super high quality JDM blah blah).

please let me know

 

don't forget Mugen

 

tried a search on mugen website... of course its in japanese. the english section is under construction....

so obviously i couldnt find it but i will add it to the list

 

Don't count out DC's as its a bit cheaper than comptech's. There is also Topspeed (DC replica) but it hasn't been AZ dyno proven. But, for <$200, what do you want?

Oh, OBX makes one for under $200 too, but no one has been foolish enough to touch that one.

 

price on header goes to no limit... as i said im willing to buy ASM header which are 1700 retail.

but my main concern is gain, noise, etc i just want opinions and input of use of these header and more brands

 

If price is no issue and gains are important, consider the Hytech exhaust system. Its a whole replacement exhaust track, from header through catback. Cost around $2500 and comes with its own custom Hondata reflash to take advantage of the setup.

I believe member shaang has this setup now, search for him.

 

I would recommend the comptech header, but you will nto find it new, maybe used somewhere on the forums or ebay

 

quick ebay search found one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...spagenameZWD1V

now the new ones will start disappearing real quick. used will be the only option soon.

 

This is how the ebay ad is listed...

It might be fine for MT but AT users seem to have a noise issue. I think mainly due to lower idle rpm.

 

Actually Shaang no longer has the HyTech. It is now in my possession.

I dont have the reflash, as of yet.

 

do you have any pictures?
the internet one's are not close enough.
hows the welds? finish? etc?

did you dyno yet? hows noise? please give full details if you can

 

I'm gonna be in the OC this Mon, Tues and Wed (April 2,3,4) and gonna check out some Hytech stuff while in town

 

Consider that no longer a problem:

try this one... they do make headers for the CL7

 

I belive this to be true as well. The Comptech header will rattle while at low rpm & in gear, which is only the case on an AT car. I love the quality of the comptech header, but it belongs on an MT only, unless the AT owner is OK with there being a rattle while at idle.

 

mugen is 4-1 header? that waht it looks like. anyone know of hte power gain?

dont we drive CL9's, im assuming the CL7 will fit
power gain?

 

The Mugen header is not a direct fit to the CL9 undercarriage, and the O2 sensor is in a different location where the wire harness won't reach. Therefore, keep that in mind when you place your order and make sure you have the resources to make it work.

 

I'm not on the SSR, using the TODA instead. So far, there was only one CL7R in SG that fitted the SSR and his reviews were good. Fyi, the owner was on TODA prior to SSR.

I had wanted to order one to try but realized that the SSR header does not come with a test pipe option and therefore, the stock cat will not fit. The alternative is to customise a test pipe to fit.

 

I haven't dyno'd - yet!, but you can see dyno results on Shanng's thread.

As far as the noise is concerned, this is the proto-type system so this is somewhat loud, although it can be quiter. John is making the production quiter, I will be swapping out this prot-type one for the quiet production one.

Welds, and finish are

 

is it this thread?
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ghlight=shaang
just wanted to share for the lazy searchers haha

 

Yes that thread

 

wow...2g's for the mugen header

 

Did you swap his VTC as well? My guess would be no, since it won't advance beyond 20ish degrees anyway without you-know-what.

 

Nope - not yet.

I am waiting for "you-know-what" and debating on cams too. So I will have the full package


BTW How do you know about that?

 

^^ I think I know what too...

 

I'm waiting for "you-know-what" to release officailly, then I'm gonna go bankrupt..... cams... turbo... SC.... whichever I want .... woooohooo... 05 5AT this time....

 

 

"you-know-what"



what?


im lost

 

*k-pro*

are you guys trying to keep this a secret or something?

 

The you-know-what is a thingy that's a secret.

I hope that clears things up.

 

You forgot to leave the

 

Just go with the flow and act like you know

 

so is it official that "you-know-what" is coming out?

 

that's not the "you-know-what", and I haven't heard anything official about it coming out. its anybody's guess whether that or you-know-what will ever come out.

 

"you-know-what" ?? you know what SUCKS!! you know what, it sucks!

 

 

+ 1

 

The real question is, is you-know-who still working on you-know-what? Because it may come out who-knows-when.

 

^^ Yeah. It's kind of sad that the Honda Element of all cars got the you-know-what before we did.

The S2000 will have it in May. OMG -- did you see how many parts they would have to buy to make it work?

At least it gives you a little hint on how our A/C might work:
Patience grasshoppas. Once the Civic Si or +05 S2k has one, you know it's only a matter of time. If one DBW model gets it, everything else will.

 

Everyone just send them another email reminding them we're interested.
