I'm looking to buy a header for my 96 gsr and i was wondering which one is the best for around 300 $ I've heard hytech Replicas might be the best, however I'm looking for all opinions.

 

if you want good headers you'll have to spend more than 300 and its not smog legal.

 

the Type R headers are pretty good for gsr

 

comptech if you can find one

 

Can you give us some more info? What are you going to do with the car? DD, drag, road race, rally?
What are your current mods?
And good in this case is a relative term. Do you mean power potential, fit and finish, OEM bolt on and bolt off.
If you have a simple basic set-up I have a good used header available. Stainless.

Stay away from cheap knock offs, I let two customers bring their own headers for install, one was a cheap ebay special that rubbed the oil pan.. the other was from NOPI website, and its flange was clocked about 90 degrees off, way wrong... So I would say be careful and you get what you pay for. Or you will spend more to correct the problem than expected. Go with the ITR header if your trying to save money

 

I'm on a budget as well, and I'm leaning towards Kiddracing headers based upon what people are saying in the Allmotor forum, although they aren't that cheap.

 

all depends on the setup. if you use an oem style cat the edelbrock is the best. if you use a 2.5" cat the 98+ JDM ITR is a great bang for $300. the nice **** is going to be over 300 and also run all the way to the b pipe with no cat.

please DO listen to those who suggest quality. both the JDM ITR and the edelbrock will last years upon years without an issue one. higher end real headers do as well but some of the knock offs are not just poor quality, they don't even fit right.

 

RMF narrow replica. My fav. out of the 3 I ran, DC 2.5 4-1, Hytech replica, and the Rmf narrow replica.

 

When I had my gsr in my eg hatch, DC sports 4 in 1 did my setup pretty good.

 

Right now the gsr is all stock except for a intake and cat back, its lowered 2.5 however so i kinda want a 4-2-1 for the clearance, ill be putting more work into it but not too high end. Also its basically just for racing on the roads.

 

and you have which cat and which exhaust?

if it's a stock style cat and you want the 4-2-1 the edelbrock is one of your best choices. it's also carb legal with the sticker.

if you have a 2.5" cat i would use the JDM ITR

 

Kiddracing is fine

Go straight pipe and at least 2.5" KTeller or better --- can of your choice
