i was looking to buy a race header and was wondering wich would be the best buy

is there really any difference between dc sports buddy club and toda beside todas Million dollar name mark up on their products ?

 

most of my purchases come from wotm.com
clubrsx.com is a nice place to look at as well

yes there is a difference between those exhaust

i suggest you read up on each one and do some searching so you know which is best for you

 

Some are good some are ok. Its mainly the price is what gets ya.

 

buddy club from crsx and if u wanna spend the big bucks. ssr ftw. or a hytech. imo they are both beyond toda.

 

Yes, there are differences not only in the prices, but in the performance as well. The DCRH isn't as free flowing of the design compared to BC and Toda. DC connected the 1-2 exhaust outlets together and the 3-4 together. BC and Toda created a better free flowing exhaust b/c they connected the 1-4 exhaust outlets together and the 2-3 together which allows better exhaust flow. The better exhaust flow comes from the straighter/ longer exhaust pipes and bends. How much of a difference is it going to make? I don't know enough yet to answer that question. Anyone else what to pick up from here?

 

here's a quick breakdown from good then descends:
SSR or Hytech
Buddy Club, Toda, Comptech
Strup, Jackson Racing, DC Sports

 

toda may have a big price mark up but then again they do give ONE OF the best (not the best) and you can always find someways around the price if you know people ... (try emailing a toda dealer cause sometimes they will hock you up just for inquiring, so you never know ...

 

i personally don't think that the toda is the best
maybe in the top 3 but not the best

for their price, it does compensate the craftmenship and quality of the header but i count the toda header as a "jdm bling"

for flat out best performance
my choice would be ssr or hytech
others may argue though

 

where could i find this ssr race header

does the ssr race header require you to run a different sway bar

I'm unsure of an answer but I know alot of guys run EM2 front swaybars if there is clearance issues with their stock one. Also, TODA sells a front swaybar with their race header.

Here's a quote;

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">The TODA exhaust manifold is designed for the Japanese DC5 Type-R. To use the TODA exhaust manifold on the U.S. RSX Type-S, the front stabilizer bar must be replaced with our special front swaybar. This is due to differences in the North American RSX Type-S front suspension components.</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

i know but im talking about the ssr ... anyone know ?

 

I'd be willing to bet so, I'd go with the EP3 Type R front sway though, thats what I'm doing, installing the ITR header + Ep3 R sway on tuesday. Em2 will cause more understear

 

not if you got your suspension in the rear to match with it. i have BC N+ and a comptech 25mm sway/tie bar combo so that would balance out nice
