Default what kind of header should i use?

ok guys ill start with my build.

jdm b16a PR3 head (mild PP)
skunk2 pro series valve springs
skunk2 titanium retainers
skunk2 prototype cams (basically buddy club specIV)
skunk2 cam gears
stock valves
1st gen skunk2 intake manifold
bbk 70mm TB
MSD 350 HP injectors
aem fuel rail
hondata intake gasket
aem 3" cold air
ARP head studs
ARP main studs
82MM CP pistons 12:1 comp
eagle H beam rods
balanced rotating assembly
fidanza 7lbs flywheel
its an ls/vtec so its an 89x82 crank
currently street tuned on neptune by a good tuner.
exhaust is an apexi ws2
GSR tranny non lsd (switching to a 99 b16a w/ ls 5th)
act HD presure plate 6 puck sprunk pad


no i havent had the head flowed
and im currently running a dc sports header for a b16a2 (99-00 si) and i think its undersized for my build so im currently on the search for a new header. im running this in a 92 civic cx w/ AC so im a little worried about both good performance and fitment issues.

im confused because i have had a couple people tell me i need a big tube header and a few people tell me i dont. i think i would but im not that experianced so i dont know. i did build my own motor. im wondering what header H-T would recomend and why. and i would like to know if you have a similar build.


** yes i plan on keeing ac its a daily driver and i live in hot fla...lol
and honestly my situation is im a broke ****. i was trying to sell another lsv motor i have in parts for around $700 but i didnt have any luck so im going to sell my head for $300 and get it put on the dyno like it is to see what im doing with this header.
i know baller headers like hytech & bizzy's are like $1000-1200 but honestly i dont see myself being able to get one. i would prob say $500-700 is my budget. i have seen the replica hytechs on here for less than that and i was thinking of that, i guess one of the venders is kteller. but im a little confused because i talked to someone who has one of those replicas and he said i wouldnt need a "big tube" header for my build. i think i would.

Are you planning to keep A/C and what's your budget.

Let us know and we can pick a header for you a lot better

What are skunk2 prototype cams?

Anyway, a standard size header is what I would recommend.

I agree with the other posts, also maybe see if you can find a used high end for A/C.

I honestly forget after a sleepless night if a knock off will clear AC

Default Hytechs the way to go

Hytech Replicas. Why? Cause i think you would get the most power out of it if that's what your looking for.
