i was just wondering if this is the same race header that sublimal is selling? cause this one is cheap. is it the same tri-y hytech replica race header?

 

Idk..

It looks like as soon as they lower that car down and get it off the jack that header is gonna be sitting wayyyy low

Might last a month or two..

x2 look's like when you put it on the ground it would be scraping

 

It appears to be the same. How much is it goin for?

 

well it's $169.99 and shipping is $49.99 so it all comes up to about $220

 

bump

Looks the same to me. Was this on Ebay or something?

 

Very close to the same but with ONE thing that makes that header suck, IMHO. Those guys put the O2 bung in the passenger side pipe where the nice ones have it in the driver side. So what, you say? Problem is, when you put the O2 sensor in, it hits the L bracket. Also, these headers are made of a thinner material. I have one like yellowbananaitr used to sell and I put one of these on a friends car I just swapped. His O2 hits the L bracket so it had to be ground. The ultimate would be to have another O2 bung welded in the driver side tube before you install the header.

Last, his header leaked like crazy where the pieces slip together; he had to get it TIG welded together. Mine is nice and tight. As nearly always, you get what you pay for. For the money, if you do those 2 things, this is a very nice header at that price....

 

So what header would this compare to?

look up Hytech header. the header that the op posted is a cheap knock off of the Hytech one. but of course anyone would look into this cause not everyone is balla and can afford a $1000 header. but like RyanA said, you get what you pay for.

 

no picture of the collector?

 

collector is 2.5"

 

its a good header. im glad someone found it cheap so the guys on HT that sell em stop makin a killing off us for $350 when im sure they pay $150 for em. theyve made a killin enough on it.

I made 200whp on this header. yea it sits too low if youve got a crx or hatch. fine on other cars. and they all leak, even the ones sold on HT, theyre all CHINA headers

my cuzin has the same header... he bought it off ebay..but yea it does hang really really low!

 

AS stated earlier, the one I bought here on Honda-Tech is definitely a far better build quality. If you don't mind your O2 sitting on the L bracket and the very good chance of having a HUGE leak at the slip fit part of this header, it's for you. Also, the bolts that came with this header for my friend's car were over 1" too long even after the header was tightened down.

Pros:

CHEAP
Similar performance to the HyTech replica that is/was sold on here for $350

Cons (all of which can be resolved for the mostpart; just keep them in mind when buying):

O2 sensor is on the opposite side of the one sold on here so it hits the L bracket (rear bracket for rear mount)
Made of much thinner and lighter duty metal than the ones sold on here
Leaks pretty badly at the slip fit point. Had to actually TIG weld it together and make it into a 1 piece header so it wouldn't leak
Did NOT come with the donut gasket; this gasket is $30.

As long as you keep in mind the downfalls and do something about them, it would be a great header. Also, an FYI: The donut gasket that fits on this header can be purchased from Honda. It is an S2000 donut gasket...

 

are u sure the 02 is sitting on the wrong side, from the pictures comparing to sublimal headers, it sits on the same side. i just got mine 2 days ago and it looks good. put it all together on my b18c1 and no leaks, maybe ur buddy didn't do a good job on it, or either he did something wrong. mine's great, fits perfect and does not sit low like some people said, i can feel the power of this header. it is way better than the jdm itr 4-1 header i had and does not sit as low, so it's perfect for my car.

 

After looking closer, the O2 is on the same side for both headers. Maybe they just welded his bung in too far back. But no, the header isn't on wrong; it's just a mass produced (probably in China) header that does not have the consistency of a true high end header.

 

The pictures used in the ad for this header, are the exact same as the ones used here on ht for the 350 dollar one. so if you can get this for 220 do it.

 

it looks like someone needs a oil pan gasket.
