I have read a little about both these headers and they are in the same price range Vibrant=450 shipped Profab=500 shipped My question is whats a better header for my set-up. The header will be going into a daily driven b20z/vtec with all the bolt ons-IM-TB-SRI. I want something that will hold up well and make good power for my displacement. THanks for any opinions.

Profab unless u find a used vibrant for cheaper

 

Profab

 

Wow thanks everyone I guess I know what my choice is. That made it easy!!!

 

or you can buy both of the headers and do a dyno comparison for us, that'll be great!!!

 

is the vibrant even comparible to the profab as far as power wise?

 

I haven't seen any dyno graphs for the Vibrant but everyone says it makes power. It looks great and supposedly makes more power than there 4-1. We have all seen Profab make power. I wish someone would dyno there Vibrant 4-2-1 and show some graphs!!

 

is the vibrant 4-2-1 a knockoff the spoon? or is it it's own design?

 

It is a knock off of the jun and T1R 4-2-1 headers. Dan

i wasnt impressed with the power your car made . sorry..........

 

To the people with Profab headers- How many miles have you put on them-Do I need a flex-pipe or will the spring bolts that connect to the cat allow enough movement for the header-Any oil temp issues cause some people say that its sits right on the oil pan. THanks

 

I know someone can answer my question!!! Let me know

 

i heard u have to have slim fan on the radiator and have to bang in one corner of ur oil pan to fit the profab headers. could be wrong...

 

my stockish lsvtec made 209 whp with the vibrant header, great mid-range and the car made peak power at 8800 rpms. great product, no problems with a spring-bolt set-up.

Some people have to bang the oil pan while others don't. Pretty odd

b16 and LSVTEC's dont really need to
