hello all, i have a JDM h22a EK and i was looking on kteller and i saw this...
http://www.kteller.com/store/p.../1149
i was wondering how would the fitment be on this and does anyone have any information on this? performance wise or whatever? and wat advantages does a header like RMF or Hytech have over this?

 

anyone?

 

well the third pic down is my car. it fits great, KILLER top end and decent low and mid range. My header was a RAGE header but slightly different from the one mike sells. The header he sells is supposed to make more power overall then my design.

let him know its for a swaped civic when you order it. I believe they specific changes for that to help deal with clearance issues and not affect performance

 

It looks to be a one piece header. This leads me to believe that the install would be a pain in the ***. Is my assumption correct?

on a civic i dont know. on a prelude it can be. the first time i did mine it took forever. but once you get used to it its not bad at all really.

front motor mount - 1 bolt
front cross member - 4 bolts
drivers side fan - 3 bolts
fan plug
ac hose bracket (just pull the hose to the side) - 1 bolt
then undo the header and replace.

sounds a lot harder then it is. but its definately worth it.

 

It looks like a nice header, and it's much more affordable than a SMSP or RMF. My only concern is the labor involved in installing a one piece. I lack the time and space to do it myself.

its more affordable cuz it doesnt make as much power

 

This is a different design but a one peice rmf header. This was done in a EG civic chassis. The header was made for 92-95 civic with an h22.

I needed to remove one of the a/c condensor mounts at the bottom for clearance issues. In the picture I left the mount on for reference. Noticed I bent it.

I also needed to remove the alternator and alt bracket for more clearance. I also need to remove the stud where the a/c bracket used to be.

Wasn't too hard of an install, just some things needed to be removed for clearance.

 

i have a swapped prelude motor in my eg and i have hotshot headers in my car and all you gotta do is turn it sideways and ease your way up then straighten out when you get to the top and bolt it up. its not as hard as you would think

 

so i take it that its not as good as RMF, SMSP, and Hytech headers...anyone know what performance gains i would get from this?

Well in the link you posted they say they gained 8 HP with a stock intake and exhaust. From an RMF or SMSP you're lookin about 15-22 HP gains. So basiclly you get what you pay for.
