I've been looking at that header quite a bit on eBay, but it's a long tube, so wouldn't I have to have a really short test pipe? I have a RS*R Exmag exhaust and I'm not going to cut it. How did you fit yours?

lol, well you can do either one of 2 things, i had some none namer on there so i had them cut it, not knowin that there was an adjustable test pipe. so you can just get the test pipe, and bam more power straight through sounds nice 2, you can feel the diff

I believe that because this is a replica of the HyTech header that's made for B18/20, HyTech's B16 header is a short tube, so is SMSP's. So obviously the B16 does better with a short tube design, that's what turned me on to the Mugen replica.

The Toda replica is really nice and short tube but it's $100 more than I have to spend, plus I would need an $80 test pipe so it's out of the question. The Mugen replica seems more and more like a great deal. It's $250 + $80 test pipe = $330, which is $120 less than the DC Sports and I know it makes more power.

Was the power gain noticeable with the HyTech replica? How much longer was it than the stock B16A manifold? It would suck to get it and then find out it doesn't fit even with an adjustable test pipe, because it's too long.

That would be sick if I could get one because I have a RS*R Exmag. I found some pics of one, looks pricey.

I just found a RS*R header on Superhonda for $275 but it's a 4-2-1 2-piece and it looks like butthole. Dang it! It doesn't even look real anyways.

DC Sports sucks... it's overpriced for what it is. If you're going to get DC Sports, you might as well just buy Megan Racing for $250-300 less.

It has a 2" collector too like the DC, they made it that way so it will bolt up to the stock cat.

Is a 2.5" collector really necessary for my B16A? Would it really make more power?
