Default best header for b-swaped crx

witch header would be best for a b-series swapped crx that is not to expensive but still makes good power and doesn't smake the ground over every bump like the DC 4-1 does on 1-1/2 inch drop. Basicaly i need a good header that makes good ground clearance on a b-series swapped crx

this is how my header looks it hits the ground atleast 4-times a day

would you prefer a 4-1 or a 4-2-1? You will have better clearance with a 4-2-1 than a 4-1.

then just rock the DC 4-2-1's then your mid-range will be better too! oppose to top end with the 4-1's

I have a real nice RS*R stainless 4-2-1 header for sale, it was over $500 new. make an offer. fits nice, way better looking than any DC header , made of THICK stainless tubing not the cheap thin crap dc uses.

Owning a good header and having a 4th gen means it will be dented.

Owning a crappy header and having a 4th gen means it will be dented.

What's your budget OP and setup?

This is the header that i will be purchasing. Its decently priced and has good ground clearance. He says the oil pan should be lower than the header

LogicMotorsports.com

Look up this user. He sells them

I agree, the hytech replica sits way too low plus you need to modify the front crossmember to run it. DC is junk from my experience, it's too thin and rusts from the inside out...I also tried an FGK header before which was ok but my Mugen EF9 header has netted the best power and clearance so far...RS*R and 5ziggen are pretty good too.

Try this one&gt;http://www.hondamarketplace.co...64933


May even fit without too much denting of the crossmember. I have the edelbrock 2 piece which closely resembles that one, and I only had to dent to clear the 4-2 flanges. Without those in the way, like the one above, it would fit perfectly.

ctr header is also a good choice, plus it has a 2.5 inch collector

hy-tec replica is way too low.
