Im planning on ordering a header withint the next couple hours and i need some help deciding. I only have 2 in mind bc i dont want to lose a/c or p/s and plus these two are supposed to be the best of the best. Ive searched and searched and i've seen the numbers but nothing from an ITR motor. Its all been b20 or b16 im just wondering if anyone on here runs an sms or rmf header on their R and what they're pros and cons are. Thanks

 

I have no clue about the RMF, but the SMS is amazing. Dave does unbeleivable work.

 

RMF Narrow

 

Do you run an rmf narrow?

 

I was pretty set on the sms header but dave messaged me back and said it would be at least a 6 week wait. With rmf its a 3-4 week wait and a little cheaper. Price doesnt really matter i was thinking of dtr but the dyno charts ive seen sms puts it on the dtr header. I really havent seen many dynos on the rmf narrow so im trying to get a perspective of someone with it on their R

 

Im gonna wait it out tonite ill order tomorrow. For some reason this has become a bigger ordeal to me then i had planned. If you have any dyno charts for the RMF header on an itr or a b18 please give me some info. Thanks

 

ANR = RMF

my ANR with merge collector






real good ground clearance on this header

But you loose a/c and have to buy a civic radiator from a non a/c car. Any dyno graphs before/after for this header?

 

But that's why you get the new RMF narrow instead, it fits fine with an OEM radiator and you get to keep both AC and P/S.

there's ANR compact and standard.. the standard one will make more power cuz less bends.. they said it made 3 + hp on their car.. with standard header

 

Go with the RMF if you want to keep your aluminum tranny brace/flywheel cover.

That is incorrect, all AN-R headers are made by Steve Brown of Rage Performance who was Randy Monroe's former employee. The headers Steve makes are NOWHERE close to the quality and performance of the actual RMF headers.

that's actually right.. but mine is still made by the old fabricator.. it's like 2 years old or something and i got it off this other guy on this board.. he told me the guy who made it.. when he was working @ ANR.

a 6 week wait only, dang, if i had money i'd get that now, and it'd be here when my motor is finished.

 

anyone have a rmf header on their itr? how is clearance issues?

I say that you can't really go wrong with either header.

 

are these to run open header, or do u need to weld a flange for the cat?

well mine = running with full ehx..

you can do either way open header or full system

 

Well i decided to go with SMSP, only i went with a little better choice. Ordered a 1 piece stainless 4-2-1. Dave hasnt given me a date of when it should be done yet but when i get it ill post some pics up for yall.

 

i'm planning on getting th RMF..can I use the stock exhaust with new cat with this?

I was going to post the same article. Those numbers are all on a stock JDM ITR motor so that gives you something good to compare to. RMF seemed to have more midrange and a little bit more peak aswell.

Who the puck takes those photos??? they are horrible!
I should apply for that job

 

I'd get the RMF, but don't have the cash right now to get one

 

I have a brand new one forsale for b-series.
