i was on superhonda to looking in the prelude forum and they were talking about wat the best header really was. all of them said that DC sports is really just for show and that if you really wanted some power to buy a race header SMPS, RMF, Hytech etc... but they also said that if your budget wasent that great to pick up a greddy header and just modify the collecter to 2.5 and you can almost get the same 10-20 whp out of it as if you had a race header. my question is wat do you guys think of this? any info is helpful

thanx

 

My Suggestion is if your budget isnt too great, save and get the better part, you always get what you pay for? i dont know the prices on any of them but i just think get what you really want even if it may take a little longer but in the same sense i never feel that fabrication is a badd thing "IF" you know what your'e doin...

 

save for the nice expensive part, it's always worth it. Greddy headers are no special, they're about as good as DC sports.

Also, no header is going to give you 10-20whp.

The greddy header is a nice header, my buddy had it on his b16 and made some good power. On the contrary though, DO NOT expect 10-20whp gains with just bolting on a nice high price header like RMF, SMSP, AN-R. Alot of your HP gains, if that's what you're more concerned with, will also vary depending on what motor your starting with, what other modifications you have done, and which design best suits your wants and needs.

If you're on a tight budget, the Greddy header is a good pickup and with the possiblity of modifying the collector to 2.5 isn't a bad idea either. I know that Sparks Racing makes a new 4-1 one piece AN-R style header that is supposedly well built and makes decent power/numbers. Like i said before though, don't expect insane butt dyno results or amazing results with a header unless you plan on really modifying you engine.

Buy once, Buy smart.... you get what you pay for

you need to read more about Hytech, SMSP, RMF and other quality race headers. Those headers offer substaintial HP and TQ increases over DC or greddy headers.

They do actually perfom. That is why they cost $750 plus dollars.

 

they said that with a tune you could posiblly get that and im not going to do the fabrication im going to get my machanice to do it for me i was just asking wat you all thought about the idea. yea i would like to buy a race header but at the same time if i can get close to the same result by just buying a greddy header then why not

 

im starting off with 97 gsr and i know that im not going to get 10-20 hp i was just telling you wat they were telling me. i know that im going to get wat i pay for and ive heard nothing but good things bout the greddy header. maybe in the future ill by a race header but not right now i was just asking you guys wat you thought bout the idea of the modin the collecter to 2.5 and wat you all thought about that?

 

ya.. that is the way i am too.

sure SMSP ANR are all great expensive headers..but i can only afford dc or greddy now.

get what u can afford.
