i changed from my crappy dc 4-1 to a vibrant 4-2-1 w/2.5" collector (jun copy) and noticed a nice difference. Didn't break the bank either.

SuperImport

not bad checked them out can anyone vouvh for these and maybe give me a couple more ideas.. thanks

SuperImport

what about endyn's hytech header 4-2-1.. $795 anyone had any experience with these??

HBK GABE

if you are okay with that $800 price range i would get a SMSP or an-r

StreetEG

i havent heard that many great things about vibrant but if ur gonna spend the money on a 13.1 CR b20vtec you may as well finish out the job right. SMSP, AN-R

hi-tech by far is good a lil pricy but worth it my brother had one on his fully buitl gsr it made 13hp over the dc 4in1

SuperImport

Thats what i figured.. but stickin with the $800 price range i know theyve run some tests but i couldnt fond any result.. an-r smsp or hytech anybody know which put down more.. whether it was tested on a built engine or not let me know anyways please.. thanks.

SuperImport

U need 2 get the jdm itr header for that setup, 1 of my boys had the dc 4-1 on it, I sold him the jdm itr and it had a big change and the b20, vtec sound a lot better also when vtec kicks in....

if you have all that money invested in the motor get the right header for it.

Yes - SMS Products

I highly recommend going with an SMSP unit.

SuperImport

Its starting to come down between hytech and smsp.. sticking with around $800 would any one recommend the mild steel with the ceramic coat for $780 over hytech?? or spend the extra cash and get their stainless steel..

Ive been looking for a New Header as well for my Built B20vtec. Glad I seen this. I didnt know what other brands to look for, for a Header. I also have a Crapy Dc 4-1.

They talk about Headers all day long in the "All Motor" forum. SMSP and AN-R both have reps their that show their new products, and dyno results. Thats the best place to look for Header info that I've found.

SMSP's coated mild steel header will be a good choice. The coating provides good protection and heat retention, and if you ever want to freshen it up in a few years, you can always have it recoated for reasonably low cost, leaving you with a like-new header again.

SuperImport

Thanks.. but compared to their stainless is whats your opinion.. i mean is it really worth the extra $450?? saw i post today showing that.. on a built set up.. the smsp ceramic 4-2-1 put down about 4 more horse than the stainless 4-1..

Well, the difference between the mild steel 1-piece header and the stainless steel multi-piece header is not simply the material used, but also the design and construction of the units. The multi-piece stainless header will be the better performer, but whether or not that additional performance and the fact that it is 100% stainless is worth the added cost is something that you have to decide for yourself. Keep in mind that either header will be a great one, so you really can't make a bad choice.
