Default Anybody knows bout these JVT tr-Y headers?

I got a b16a with skunk2 valvetrain, Intake mani and CTR pistons. I see these JVT headers on ebay. Thinking bout getting one with a bloc adjustable test pipe. You guys got any word on them?

Lots of words:

They are copies of custom headers.

They are not ideal for a b16a.

There are better choices you can make for your motor.

Play with the search function to see what's better suited for a b16a.

if you want a good header thats a replica, spoolinperformance make a replica of the toda header. or you can buy the real toda. from what i understand the toda headers are very good on the b16

DONT BUY THEM!!! My friend bought some the same JVT header and theyre welding quality sucks.. It comes in 2 pieces and you have to put them together but they dont even go in smoothly. Also the ground clearance is very very low. You will definitely cut open your header if you hit a rock or something.. its that low

Thanks guys,
I see some good reviews on the SMSP but thats way outa my budget. I ned to get a complete exhaust setup i.e. header, test pipe, catback. I want good clearance and I prefer to hear my intake over my exhaust. But I cant seem to find the right match of piping size and withing my budget ($1,000). Any recommendations for my b16?

You already got a good recomendation.

The Spoolinperformance TODA replica is perfect for 1.6L.

I forgot to mention that my car is a 92 JDM civic SiR 4 door. I dont think the WS2 bolts up to it correct me if i'm wrong. Also I dont think the buddy club is anywhere as quiet as the W2 or SP2.
