Hey there,

I've been searching around but only found answers to my question if i had a RSX-S. I've been looking around for a header for my A3 motor. Does anyobdy know the best bang-for-the-buck header for a K20A3? I know you need ESMMs for a A2, is this the same case for an A3 and if so, where can I get some?

 

Shop around for the 02-05 Si header, its the same part. I had a DC shorty header on my base. It was a nice. Coupled with 05 Type S catback I had on there it gave me some good gains. I had the Catback extended though and the flange rotated to fit the Base.

 

i believe if you purchase a type-s race header it will fit on a type-s exhaust
i'm about 70% sure
can someone back this up

you can purchase esmm from clubrsx.com or wotm.com
its only around 25 bucks

Yes. But if you're sticking with the base model exhaust, you can get a header originally intended for the 02-05 EP3 Si as mentioned earlier.

Now I'm wondering -- are there many choices of catback exhausts for the base RSX? EP3 catbacks won't fit right, and neither will Type-S catbacks...

You can get an adapter to make any type s catback fit on the base, or have a shop weld it on for about 50 bucks like i did.

 

also looking for a good place to purchase a dc header... im not having much luck finding the stainlesss race header...any help would be sweet, thanks

 

stinless for an a2 just look in club rsx .. they are more frequent than flys on ****

Damn, how did I forget...

 

lol from experience, if base models are running a dcrh, made for the S, you need a type-s exhaust system. Comptech made the extension for the race header for the base models and I think 5Zigen made one too. But I would just run an S exhaust for better flow.

You need to specify which type of header are you looking for...Race Header or Short? So for for a race header, DCRH is the best bang for the buck...but if you can save a more $$$ then get something else than DC...You'll have better #'s...
