Are chikara headers any good??
I found a pretty good deal on Chikara headers, but I want to know if they are good before I buy them. Anybody who has heard anyhting about them, or has/had them on their car, please let me know what you think of them.

ive seen them advirtised in import magazines..but i dont know much about them..as for performance , headers are pretty much on par with each other..only difference is in the quality of it and whether its carb. approved..dont mean much if u dont live in calif.

I have a 4-2-1 Chikara. I really like it. It comes with all of the needed gaskets and wire extensions. Good luck.

i also have the torque step version chikara header on my 94 ex and I like it. Had a dc sports on my old civic and to tell you the truth I really don't see a difference.

I had one on my stock motor long ago and they are pretty decent. I had the standard 4-2-1 design - the cheap hi-temp painted model. The paint will burn off the first time you use it and they are prone to rusting easy because of that. If you're just looking to free up a few hp and aren't concerned too much about the looks then go for it.

i all depends on what tpye of motor you have. And the comment made that all the headers are the same is not true. the obviouse is quality but power gains differ throughout. HyTech builds excellent qaulity headers and they oout perform the next best by 10 hp to the wheels. They are expensive, but what you would spend to make the same power to the ground they're actually a great buy. Ask around.
