I ask because i want the community to help me decide which you think it may suite my application. I have a 99'jdm R motor in my Ek hatch, i got gyped like a mother so now i have a gsr header. Im trying to make a decision from you guys before i blow a 1g header. I'm having a debate wiht myself spending over 500 bucks on headers. 300bucks a weeks paycheck daym boy it better be worth it. All it is a got daym pipe. all it matters is keeping the pipe clean inside out. but daym, i have the gsr header two piece. well any input you guys would help. An R header or a toda. custom made mild steel 4-1 i think it was 421 also? vs. a off the shelf w 421 header.

my car diagonostic
the engine is stock. test pipe and a apex ws exhaust.
I currently building a gxxer itb.
external cap w/ngk sparkplug wires.
i plan on getting one of these header and a hondata s2 or s3. i have a p72 and the ride feels a bit sluggish idles at 2000rpm.runs rich, not up to par.

what you think? any info would be happily appreciated thanks again

 

You will find better responses gathered in the hybrid forum

 

Are you talking about a factory ITR header, or an AN-R header?

Out of those choices, I would spend the $600 and get an AN-R, or if you've got a little more money, go with an RMF.

<-- Plans of buying an RMF narrow A.S.A.P.

I would blow a 1g header any day!

My Toda is far better than a gsr 2 piece anyday.

 

JDM 4-1 and be done with it. save your money. unless you intend to build the motor and want to get every last horsepower out of it. I would never spend 1G on a header and cant believe I spent so much on my Spoon 4-1.

exactly what i was going to say

 

With your motor in it's current state you will be fine with a JDM 4-1, DC Sports, etc. type header. I you plan on building it up to an N/A monster like a 2.0L or something you may want to look into a custom header like Hytech, SMSP, RMF, DTR, A-NR, etc. Don't spend unnecessary money if you don't need to.

But i like my an-R so far
it's on my stock motor but shortly will be re-built 1.8 L semi monster engine lol (12.5 : 1) CR. so i know the anr header will help out later on

mine's 4-1 with merge collector + ceramic or jet coated
