i bought a DC 4-1 header for my crx and i have a b16a. just got the thing ceramic coated and one of my friends told me that i can't lower my car much at all cause their isnt much clearance, it will hit the ground. i just want to know if anyone has had the same problem and if so, what other header will be a good choice with good clearance. im guessing a 4-2-1 would have been a better choice
thanks

 

i have a 4-1 on a d-series and it bottoms out but my car is also pretty low
also 4-1 in a crx with a b-series and the stock crossmember will not clear you need an after market crossmember unless you cut out a spot on your stock xmember witch i dont recomend

4-2-1 there is alot better clearance

 

would i have to get a after market cross member with a 4-2-1 header????
are there any headers out there that are made for b series motors in a crx with out any mods???, cause i would love to have a strict bolt on

 

anr rmf those all fit with stock srossmember and with a 4-2-1 you dont have to mod anything and you will get much better ground clearance

 

True, 4-2-1 will clear stock front X-member n/p. But I still bottomed out my first week of driving around like an *** and dented my new headers real nice.

There is no safe header if you are rolling around slammed- my advice, dial in a moderate drop in ride height and mind the dips in the road.

O/P, what kind of ride height change are you planning? I had problems already at 2.5" drop on Neuspeed Sports and 4-2-1 DC Header. Current setup uses Omni and n/p there, FYI.

 

see the thing is when i first got my car i got really excited and all i wanted to do a drop the thing at the cheapest possible price
that was the first mistake
the coilovers that i got now are by far the shittest things you could ever buy in the market. right now i dropped the car as low as it can go but it is about a 2" drop
but even then im worried about the ground clearance with the motor, and the header combined. but it looks like i have to go with ANR RMF's jus got to watch those bumps
thanks guys for your help and one more question
how much do those headers go for?????

 

like anywhere from 400 slightly used to say 800 new i believe
