I've been looking a the Hytech website and it's not too clear. They have the Type R system for like $1300 but it's not clear if that's just the header or if it's the cat-back or if it's the whole exhaust system. I assume that it's probably just the header but i just wanted to check if anyone has any personal experience with it. Anybody?

 

I'd guess the header and catback are around $1300 each.

 

Yeap I asked him the same question, The Cat-back is sold seperatley from the header. And ,as everyone already knows im sure, his exhaust systems are worth every penny. I had it on my Integra for about 3 months before it was stolen and stripped.

 

It's $1300 for the header and $900 for the exhaust including the cat, or $700 without one. When i got my complete system i payed $2100 for a complete setup including a cat so i got a $100 discount. This was a little over a year ago.

you need to be very rich to afford that stuff in norway...i know how the economy is there.

 

damn, that's an expensive setup... i may have to start looking elsewhere... trying to find a good quality setup that'll produce decent gains & not sound like ***.. trying to stay under $1500 if possible..

*starts researching again*

 

I have a Hytech Header and let me tell you it's worth every penny. Great gains without any tuning and with tuning should be ALOT more.

If you're looking for an entire high quality or custom header back for $1,300. I think you're out of luck.

"Decent gains" are defined as what exactly?

My advice would be to save your money while you research more.

Or if you just have to spend the money now, still research more but get the best header your money could buy and keep the stock catback till you could again save more for a well made catback.

A well made big name header that will provide decent gains and good clearance would be the Toda, then a HF cat, and then something like the Fujitsubo RM01A catback which is 63mm od if I remember correctly off the top of my head, no bottlenecks, nice low tone, kinda understated actually.

But depending on your plans, goals, budget and whatnot, you might decide on a custom setup.

It's up to you really.

But, you get what you pay for.

how much power did you gain vs. a jdm 4-1 header? I have heard up to 20 whp increases sometimes over that header, which i have now. I might look into getting a hytech.

 

Don't guess, search

What do you mean, Norway is among the richest countries in Europe so I'm not sure exactly what you are basing that remark on?

 

well, basically i'm wanted to do a mild - ish head build later. I plan to say N/A with stock compression, but with a nice cam like the BC Spec 3+, hav'nt really decided definatly. Just wanting something that will support 200+whp no problem without being annoyingly loud.. i don't mind deepness but hate weedwhackers!

I've been looking at the toda/fujitsubo combo for awhile now too... i wanted to get everything at once but now i think i'm gonna settle and get a header/test pipe first then get the cat back later. I'm still saving up and just wanting to put my money in the right places first. (Seriously thinking about getting the ATS FD setup first tho, lol)

 

I have a full hytech system right now I haven't tested yet, but I will probably be selling it, at least the catback.. How much do used systems go for?

I'll accept that lol


SOOO that second link just killed my wanting to by a Htyech. it only put down like 5 more whp than my header. Hmmmm, i know all cars are different, but with my exhaust i wonder if a hytech would really help that much.

 

But that is an ancient test, it does in no way represent the more present work coming from Hytech and the header in that test is a Hytech modified Mugen btw, this link is much better : https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1

Graphs seems to be down though but it's still a good read.

Used Hytech is worth about $200, but since I am feeling generous I will give you $250
IM me your asking price when you decide to sell, I am looking for a cat back to go with my sweet *** Hytech header.

Explain how you "tune" a header.

.....adjustable length secondaries.

And you can always tune the motor to the header's flow characteristics.....which is probably what he meant.....

Yep...you have to tune for that header actually. In fact, anything beyond an intake should have some tuning involved.

 

if you do sell it, pm me with your asking price please!

The best buy setup is going to continue to consist of the OEM JDM 4-1 (or DC <u>JDM</u> 4-1 if you can find one) together with a custom 2.5" system after the header.

With a JDM 4-1, Carsound cat and 2.5" SMSP quiet exhaust, my otherwise stock ITR dyno'd 184 HP on a Dynojet.

Definitely a best buy.

The only drawback is that you've basically wasted whatever the header costs you if you think you'll want to go on from there. However, provided you're interested only in mild modifications, that setup will return a lot of power for the money in an untuned car!

tuning a stock (intake/exhaust) car will yield gains.
