i've been looking into getting a set of decent headers for a decent price range. there going into an h2b eg. i'm not sure if i want to go with the hytech replicas or the rmf rep header. a few questions i'd like to know which would you rather go with, hows clearance on both, and what was the power difference. the motor right now is stock with few bolt ons such as skunk 2 intake mani/tb and a velocity stack. what are the estimate hp gains for my set up???

 

hytechs are tri-y ,so what other header are you talking about?

 

sorry i meant vs the rmf reps.

 

depends on your goals.

if your looking for peak performance for the track, then go w/ a 4-1 header w/ shorter primaries.

out of the 2 you listed i would go w/ hytech, but make sure its made for your intended purpose, otherwise you get the same "all around" header like most everyone else gets.

 

well my plans are to for drag and somewhere along the line to build the motor go with 12.5 comp, and head work. but not for a little while.

 

i love h-t i'm on a local forum (b20vtec.com) i made a similar thread and haven't got any input. instead i'm informing others. h-t is very helpful.

 

I have the rmf style sitting here waiting to go on my h2b eg. Ill let you know how it fits and performs in about a week or so. I just have bolt-ons now but am going to get a direct port setup also. I figured rmf style would make more mid-high rpm power, while the hytech style would make more lower-mid

 

The Drag style(rmf) is made more for swapped cars. It is much easier for the H2B guys to run as it has an extra kick at the collector that makes it a little easier for it to modify to work.

Neither are H2B specific, but can be made to work

 

I would stay away from the REPLICAS and buy something that is h2b specific. there are some good if you look around.

 

how about ESP header?

 

haven't really looked into them much. any good???

 

its a obx with 2 inch to 2.5 mod where the reps are cheaper & make WAY more power.

 

Its not hard to mod one of the headers to work with h2bs. Took me like and hour at most to do my stock one. Its like a 15 degree difference.

You cant go wrong with Kidd's prices or his customer support. Great guy.

 

Pretty sure its better than OBX. It has larger primaries and secondaries, and a 2.5 collector.

 

well even he says he buys the obx header makes the bottom half & has them coated.
primaries are the same 2nd he makes with the collector.

 

I wish i would see some dyno comparisons

 

guy just got i think 13 whp with only a vafc no timing advance. over a stock one ,15 whp easy.

 

I have a replica tri-y for my b18. I have no problems. But yes it should be a specific fit. if you modify header wrong, you're screwed.
