Default quick rmf header question

first off i have been reading this forum for a while now

what ive read from many is that the new rmf race header will give more power than the old model

personally im a bigger fan of the sweet looking design of the older header and the fact that it fits with out having to upgrade to the half sized civic rad

i wanted to buy an lsd but didnt want to save up for a quaife so now i have around six hundred dollars laying around and im about to get my paycheck which will give me enough money to buy a rmf header

what im getting to is two things how much of a difference is the old model to the new model if its something like three or four horsepower i could honestly care less if it saves me four hundred for the rad

my next question is does anybody have the older model header laying around that they would like to sell me?

they are open right now

i was going to get the rsr mag two point three exhuast but decided against spending six hundred dollars on it

im looking at a two point five custom exhaust with a magnaflow muffler so i can keep the exhaust descrete from the police and most likely a magnaflow high flow cat

would the race header just bolt right up to the exhaust? would the shop that does the custom exhaust just match the piping to the end of the header?

Quiet and Magnaflow don't exactly fit together. The cat will be fine, but that muffler will be loud as can be

yea the shop you use will match the piping

and I agree, don't waste money on an aftermarket $600 catback

If you want to be super sleeper, get a cutout.

oh and btw, check your pms

He's looking to buy one of the older design ones, which aren't as huge and do well on a stockish h22, ie my setup before cams.

I just sent you another email.

If you didnt get it, its as simple as this.

I have the style rmf header you're looking for, and I'll sell it for that $600 you've got. Its near mint.

Let me know

yes, or you could send me a money order...either way I'd rather not paypal or do anything that gets me a fee.

Send me an email at mgags7@gmail.com that way I can reply to it.

Shipping should be relatively cheap too, again, email me your address and all and I'll get back to you with a final price.
