Who is running the Hytech Replica Bseries Header? What have your experiences been with the Header? Are you happy with the performance gain to cost ratio? Has it help up well? How long have you had it?

I have searched but looking for more info.

here is mine:

 

It has horrible ground clearence and you have to modify your exhaust. I like mine cause I got it super cheap.

 

I have one it does have a very low clearence mine has dented in a little bit at the bottom. Not enough to make a difference in power because of the dent. They are great especially for the money and with the right supporting mods and a tune it will work exponentially better. Get some all motor high lift cams/cam gears/ and a fuel system. Throw in some dyno time and hondata and you should see stellar gains. There a great product!

 

its going on a "stock" b20vtec w/ CAI and Apexi WS2 catback. The car is a 92 dx hb. what kinda gains did you guys see?

 

Over what header? If you search theres alot of comparisons on here.

 

For me its over a OEM manifold. I have read every hitech replica thread, but looking for more info. I might even sell the replica and stay oem.

Anyway if you have one of these Pipe Up with your experiences.

 

a apexi ws2 is a quite exhaust but its really going to limit you for power

 

I've also heard good things about RMF replica, I'm in the market for either a Hytech or RMF replica. All the graphs I've seen show improvement with either header over OEM ITR 4-1. Both need mods to fit your exhaust though.

 

highend header has good clearance

 

X2

Mine lasted about a week before it went in the trash can. Made decent power but, what a piece of crap. Zero clearance

 

I dont mind losing a few hp, the car is a dd / track car. Im gonna stick with the ws2 regardless. If its too much of a blockage, I'll sell the header and run the oem one.

I bought mine off of KTeller.com. I had no problems with clearence issues or anything on my B16 and current GSR. It made pretty decent power but recently picked a Six Sigma Racing street sweeper for cheap and couldn't pass it up.

 

i have had this review bookmarked for awhile. how much hp did you guys gain?

 

I finally got tired of dealing with the crappy quality and poor fitment and threw it in the dumpster. Never even made it to the dyno. I had offered it to my friends for free and they just laughed.

 

Hey thanks for posting that link! Totally changed my mind about that header... lol my friend bought one a while back and used it. I thought he was the only one with problems... I guess not! lmao!

 

i got one on my 1994 gsr, slipped together fine, but i didnt like how the flange was flat, it was pointing down and made the exhaust all wierd, so i heated it up and lowered it on a jack and let it set till it cooled down and it is fine now.

power wise,

same day same mustang dyno with corrected numbers, a 93 vx hatch jdm gsr swap dont smoke and low mileage, sk2p im, edelbrock header, full exhaust, lightweight flywheel, no cat and intake put down 149hp

my gsr with 170xxx mile, smokes in vtec, with sri, hytech rep header, 2.25 greddy dual tip exhaust, and 9.5 lb flywheel put down 153 hp.

considering the health of both motors and him having the after market intake manifold, i'd say the hytech rep. header was good for almost 10 hp. The dyno guy was saying most gsr's with basic bolt on's normally put down 140-145, i'd say without the hytech rep. header, it'd put me at probably 145ish. I know every car is different, but just a example of the power the header gives.

 

You are very welcome. In an ideal world, that's how this forum would work. ; )

 

I think your exaggerating here. Im sure a lot of people would take a replica for free, who wouldnt? They aren't that bad for the price. In the $300 price range they give really good hp increases over other brands ( DC, JDM ITR etc. ) If you weld it together where they join you eliminate leaks, and if your car isnt ricer slammed it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

They do make good HP (narrow tube) nobody can deny that.

 

It sat in my garage for three weeks and I offered it to every one of my friends. They had seen the fitment issues and all passed. I'm sure some baggy pants wearing broke-*** kid might have grabbed it, but no one with a real job was willing to take it. Not worth the cost/quality trade-off.

 

mine broke at the flange on the head after 2 months. into the metal parts bin at work it went.

 

its clear you have strong feelings about this header.
