Default king motorsports custom header fabrication

i was just wondering if anyone is using this header on their type r.

it looks like a great header but some dyno results would be the real test.
ive been wanting to get a toda to replace my jdm 4-1.

but the product with all of kings work is up to par as usual,
honestly for the price its alot of money i just wanted to get some
input from other fellow owners opinions etc
thanks

I dont know what your personal goals are. If it is road racing, the difference of that header (if any at all), doesnt justify ANY time gains on a track. Lets say that header yielded you +3-4 whp, that will never show on your times at a track. Assure you.

My advice. If there are alternatives to other headers for a fraction of the price, go that route. The days of bragging that you have a SMSP, Hytech, Mugen, Spoon, King parts for a DC2 integra are done. The people who feed you the ego you may (or not) want are idiots among themselves.

Like i said above i just wanted to see if anyone has one that's all.

I would rather spend much less on the toda with more than likely
similar results.
Thanks

One of the big benefits of the Toda is that it is LIGHT! Thin-wall tubing, light flange, etc.

What headers are suggested that are worth upgrading from a jdm 4-1 that wont break the bank account?

yeah the king header looks very high quality which is what i have come to expect
from them. but the price tag is way to much!

ive ran the jdm 4-1 with a godspeed test pipe for years
god there has been so much in the past about headers on this site
