hey i drive an EK-9 civic and i'm looking to get the best racing header.....i'm currently looking to get the Spark Racing Tri-Y Stainless steel header

http://www.sparkracing.com/pro...=2268

could someone let me know from their experience how good this header is...also what header do u guys think is the best?

thanks in advance....

 

There is no such thing as the "Best" different headers make different whp on different parts of your powerband depending on the set-up. So there really is no clear best.

 

well i'm looking for one that i would make the most HP from

 

i heard a lot of good things about these headers i want to get the compact version.

what's your set up?

 

the best header? very hard to say just like how everyone posted. I think the sparks header is great and very affordable. I think when it comes to money and headers. I would rather go with something that is a competitive header with the greats but still affordable. I highly recommend a company called Highend Autosports in Azusa, they are at the moment mocking up a header just like sparks with better prices, with better quality and a little more hp. good luck with your decision.

yea i have heard that they make great whp thats it what i would get.

 

In general. RMF, SMS, AN-R are all highly regarded compaines that make a very good header.

 

well i'm looking to run the BC spec IV cams....cam shaft valve springs retainers....AEM CAI...Buddy club exhaust......buddy club head gasket...apexi vtec controller(the black one)...RC 440 cc injectors...and well i gotta choose the headers still...well thanks a lot guys i'll look into the ones yall recommend so far and let u know what i think of them...

anyone else has any recommended headers?

 

Why are people talking about Spark headers?They are no longer in business.They could put a price $100 .THEY ARE NOT IN BUSINESS.CLOSED DOWN.NO OPEN NO MO.
Where is this Highend motorsports, China?If you think somebody is going to make those headers better and less expensive here in the old U.S.of A. your on crack.

This kinda sounds like a list of parts thrown together. Chances are your "thin headgasket" isn't gonna give you enough compression to run those cams, and those 440's are gonna absolutely drown that motor. I suggest doing a little more research before you go to a parts bin and strap a buncha stuff to your car, you'll waste allot of money and not make very much horsepower doing so.

 

ACTUALLY WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF RE-MAKING THE SPARKS TRI-Y BECAUSE THEY WORK SO WELL

 

interesting. Will it be re-worked at all?

 

Rage is coming out with a new header here soon. its a Tri - Y design. some more info should be out soon.

 

it is going into an EK9 so my compression is good enough.....i dont even think i'm going to bother with getting a buddy club head gasket i might jsut use the original one...440cc injectors....well i was considering 370cc but i thought i might of been better off with the 440cc....gimme your advice on this plz....

how good is the RMF 4-1 street header?...

 

also can i tune the 440cc injectors with the vafc so it wont drown the motor?.....or should i just get the 370cc?

i can see this much, 1/2 of those voters dont own any of the headers listed.
DTR and SMSP all the way

 

When someone asks a question like that .Thats all it is ,A popularity contest.Who has the most backers on line at that time.Of course not even 1/4 of those people have one .But thats the same thing as right now but over a much longer period.
The only way to find out what YOU would like.Would be talk to a few people that own these headers and see what they say.And make your own decision.
I'm sure if you got any one of the 3 that are most popular DTR,SMSorRMF
you would be plenty happy

 

hytech

 

RMF - DTR - Hytech - SMSP - ANR

RMF is my weapon of choice
