Well here goes, on Christmas Eve UPS pulls up and delivers my long awaited Toda header(damn shipping strikes). My car is already jacked up and ready to go. I'm replacing my Spoon header with the Toda because of an accident I had a lil while back that killed my header...

Install was simple and easy, no problems whatsoever cept the bolts off my Spoon header were bent from my accident(see pics) and snapped off when I was unbolting them.

Performance wise, I'd like to say I should have gotten the Toda from the beginning period. Butt dyno feels more mid range and the RPM's climb up VERY smooth and VTEC crossover is more subtle than before. A bit more torque is felt going from a stop. Daily driving car has been a lot more fun the past few days simply b/c of the mid range and added torque.
Then of course you have ground clearance. As some have said and I'll say again, you'll hit your oil pan before you scrap this header. It has a good ~inch over the Spoon. You can see in some of the pics. Dyno charts coming soon...meanwhile here's some pics:

****-a-spoon and height difference of the headers


Some pics of the primaries(can you guess which one is fucked up?)

Your's truly

 

jesus dude that spoon header took a pounding

 

holy **** u took those pics back in 94?

sick header dood

 

haha it's my mom's camera. i think i should change that for her when i get the chance.

 

somebody's a baller. damn, good thing I read this, I used to want a spoon header.

 

nice stickers

 

is that a ITR Swap you have in your gs-R? Dyno please?

vnt

 

Its a GSR with a valve cover and Skunk2 manifold

i'll have dynos soon, with the list of mods to compare.

thanks for the comments. Imagine how it sounded when the Spoon hit..

 

Good thing you got rid of that spoon header! mine got dented oo and I switched to the Toda Header....hope the Toda one lasts longer.

 

Just curious...why is your o2 bung in your header? I thought all GSR o2 sensors were in the cat...

 

dood are you rich? i can't afford half the stuff in the pictures, not even jacket.

 

Dude, that pose in the very last picture is MAD JDM y0!

 

As I said in the ITR forum thread, I will probably be getting this header as well for my GSR. Is there anything special that you must do to install it? Any help would be appreciated.

 

ebelp - there's two o2 sensors, one in the cat and one on the header

cingham - no im not rich, i just have good credit

fEEsh - PM me if you have any specific questions. basically you'll just need a new cat to fit the 2.5 collector and the longer header.

 

ouch it does look bad
