i would only buy one header unless you have two or more cars.....


but you wont notice much difference but it will look better. for performance get a 4-1 with 2.5" piping.

i know that 4-1 gives u more high end but, since i dont race for the price 421 is good for me cuase of the price.. i noticed a little more pep when i had dc in a d16z6.. i was just wondering if it would give it the same affect on a b20..any other expirenced these headers???

headers are a much different animal than an intake

and yes, we have dynoed some....they made 1ft/lb and lost around 3 whp across the board
this was on a dynopak at Eurospeed

wait for a while you come along a deal. That header is on there all the time so there is no rush. This is what I found just by being patient and looking around...

I couldn't be happier with it.

i/m honestly not sure of the brands...
i know one was megan or something like that

but, Alex just ordered a lot of them, and we tossed them on a customers car and pop, there ya go.

i'll look around for the sheets. haha, we took all of the headers and cut them up and made stuff with them

What do you guys thinks of these brands: focuz, powertech, and obx? Are they worth buying?

Why would you say that? Granted they may not have the most R & D or the best name out there, but why say that? I have a 91 Si that is my budget build up & I have been rocking an SS Autochrome (OBX copy) header for almost a year & a half- it made a significant increase over stock in teh mid range & it sure climbs to redline faster. You can't tell me that I lost hp/tq- it may only be my *** dyno, but I know for sure what results it had. I would definately prefer to be running one of Bisi's header's, but on a budget build up it just doesn't make sense.

ssautochrome IS OBX

and no, you didn't make a lot of power, sorry.

you're just THINKING you did since you put money into it.

they are shitty headers.

prob the best for hte money is the AN-R header out now.....it maks power and it's cheap as hell!
