</TD></TR></TABLE> I have not had a Sparks in the shop, but of all the others SMSP has the best ground clearence.

 

some of those guys make custom headers..so it really depends

 

I ment the production headers that these brands have.
Any picture of the clearance on a Rage version 1 header?

 

the only 2 that are production are the rage and sparks. the others are custom.

rage is a good header but the clearance is a little lacking.

on a crx.

 

wow that worries me, please tell me that crx is slammed?

 

And that it had a short oil pan? The pan tells you your clearance. DOH

 

anyone have pics of the ground clearance of rage, dtr, or smsp on a dc integra chassis ?

 

holy ****. roads here in MI would love the rage header

look at the clearance compared to the oil pan. doesnt matter what car its in. look at the oil pan and then compare that to how low your oil pan hangs.

 

I have no ground clearance issues at all on my SMSP.

 

I :heart: my SMSP

 

You didn't list it, but the Toda also has great ground clearance.

 

No problem at all with a RMF header

 

anything with a collector that isnt under the oilpan (rmf) is going to do the trick.

 

RMF is great as well

 

any design similar to smsp will obviously have the best clearance. The tubes from each cylinder are parallel with each other in a row 4 wide and not double stacked like others

 

My RMF narrow has wonderful ground clearance.

In fact, I no longer have to worry on drag strip return roads like I did with my JDM DC 4-1.

 

Notice that most of the headers with the "good clearence" are built to match the car or chassis...not to mention that they are build 1 off. Of course they will fit better then a "shelf" header that is built to work on alot of applications.

EF chassis have clearence with more then just headers when it comes to performance parts or swaps = K's hit the hood / H hits the fire wall / B turbo no ac 92up rad / headerz are not the only issue with that chassis.

 

my SMSP header was built for the engine, not the chassis. im sure custom header builders could make special adjustments for special needs but the main focus is building it to the engine setup.
