I ordered a Mugen header for my 97 SH and never got a tracking number, so I called them for it. They said it had not shipped yet because the header had to be modified to fit a USDM Prelude. Does anyone know what has to be done to the header? I was under the assumption that Mugen made direct-fit parts...

Thanks

 

have no ******* clue what needs to be modified. I think they just might be out of stock. I guess maybe the down pipe could be in a slightly different location?..........maybe the flange for the cat is different?..........

 

im gonna call BS on that one, theyre killing time for some reason....

I ordered the header last Monday (9 days ago). Is this the normal amount of time to wait for an item that I was told was in stock the day I ordered it? I mean, they haven't even sent it out yet.

 

maybe they had to modify it to put an O2 sensor in it, or something...

 

Hey folks - this is Clayton from King Motorsports. I took Tony's order for the header, and I made a mistake when I spoke to him. I knew the base model header had to be modified, but I did not think that the modification applied to the SH header - again it was my mistake.

Now on to the modification. There are three things that are different between the US and Japanese Preludes.

SH Differences:
#1 - the bolt center is smaller on the US catalytic converter, therefore we have to slot the flange on the Mugen header by 1mm for each bolt hole.

Base Model Differences:
#1 - same as above the - bolt centers need to be slotted
#2 - the location of the flange must be moved forward to accomodate the longer catalytic converter
#3 - becuase of the length difference a specially made hanger bracket is fabricated and included with the kit.

FOR THE RECORD - WE DO NOT SUPPLY OUR CUSTOMERS WITH BS INFORMATION IN ORDER TO "BUY TIME".

Well. Guess you busted our asses.

 

After re-reading my earlier post, I feel the need to clarify that I wasn't trying to bash King Motosports, I simply didn't know King had to slot the flange at the collector. Props to Clayton @ King for calling to inform me of this. Now we know!

P.S. Hey Weatherman...no forecast for Bumf ck, USA?

On the map, it's in between Lobalz and Azhole.

 

HaHa, Its Bumfuck USA...I heard its going to be pretty shitty there...other than that...doesnt seem like much will be going on out there!

 

Yeah. I see the high being 70 degrees - chance of diarrhea. That food coloring in your purple fanta will turn your poop into a bright green color. Later tonight, i see your *** burning from 911 hot wings from hooters. And it might feel like needles are coming out from chewing on sun flower seeds without spitting out the shell. Good luck.

 

Yeesh, I think I'll stay in tonight...sounds like bad weather! Thanks, Weatherman!

I think we've gone WAAAAY off topic. It's been fun kids, signing off now.

Thanks again to Clayton for the obscure bit of knowledge regarding the Mugen H22 header.
