Default Performance Headers

I am looking to upgrading the headers on my 95 Honda Prelude. I have recently installed the much debated Skunk2 manifold and would need something that would be compatible with these. Any suggestions? I am running stock everything else.

It would be helpful to know what engine you have, how much you're willing to spend, whether or not you intend to turbo the car, etc.

I intend to stay NA and not to turbo the car, willing to spend up to about US 500 but if I can get away with less then all the better. The Honda is a Vtec H22 engine

I have a built H22, and I was running with a DC header that was opened up to breathe a little bit easier but was still holding me back a bit. So we installed a custom DTR header and it gave me 11whp and 10wtq.

Looking for Canadian dealers that sell performance headers, something in BC/AB would be great!

Good luck, better off just having one sent to you... Most "Performance shops" won't have much worth a damn.

If Randy is still the one making the RMF headers, I'd ask around to make sure that he's back up to speed so that you don't wait 6 months for the header. It's a great header, but just be careful. If you want it now, it may not happen.

You may get an RMF before that. I was just saying check around. If Randy is still the guy, make sure he's on schedule.

Best route for OEM replacement yes! But not for performance wise!

If you want to keep OEM size, the best route is the stocker. It's free!

If you want N/A performance, a custom HyTech is probably your best bet.

If you want N/A performance and you don't want to drop a house payment on it, the HyTech replica is your best bet.
