hey guys ive seen a few threads on this a while back but couldnt find them in the search.....

I have a rage try y and all was fine till i lowered my car today now it rubs like a 2 dollar *****.... i need a new header asap i have a 90 civic w/ b18c swap and kteller exhaust and i just lowered with the tokico blues with tokico springs. i dont have much money to spend and can dride this car till a new header is in...

 

dont lower it

 

lol i got to have it lowered

 

post some pics of that **** or make a skid plate

 

if i added a skid plate it would be even lower and no need to post a pic its about 1.5 inches from the ground its rediculously low.....

is there a replica header that is a single 2.5 inch tube that sits close the the oil pan and 2,5 inch out for under 300 any body got some good pics for better clearence

 

everything is gona scrub that low.. ive been down that road not worth the headache imo

 

just some sugestions and pics thats all im lookin for

 

your ride must be tough if your that low
we're not even that low down here in japan

 

custom make a header, wouldnt be too hard

 

hold on let me pull my welder out of my back pocket.......lol jk


hows the high end try y clearence

 

someone out there has to have a low civic or cerx with a b-swap that had this issue and can help

 

heres a pic of the clearence if a highend header site closer to the oil pan then the top pipes do on the hytec i think ill be ok what do you guys think.......

 

Looks like your gonna need a header that the pipes gather before the bend. Are you looking for race headers, or just anything?

 

Hell yah i want something that works in all ways....power and clearence

 

Someone who truly has no idea what they are talking about.

I purchased a Rage header a few years ago but didn't run it because it was so low. I ended up running a a few different headers that fit pretty well. Most of them are very pricey and rare but just for reference.
Mugen B16A header 4-2-1 fit fine on my B18C and B20
Jasma FGK B16A header fit fine aswell but not as much clearance as the Mugen
Mugen 4-2-1 B18C header fit nice, not as much clearance but loads more power.

Pretty much anything that is 4-2-1 will be better. 4-1's suck for clearance

 

how about this one

the smsp/highend try y

 

bump for some input on the smsp/highend header clearence

 

what if you raise your car a little and throw some side skirts and a lip to give the illusion that your car is lowered? slap me if that was stupid.

 

x2

 

Look into the rmf replica

 

looks like even a tucked header is only going to buy you 1". your oil pan looks 2" off the ground. your pic of the smsp header looks like the best bet. i'm running a greddy header on my b16, but i'm not crazy low either

 

Spoolin Performance SPfab T*DA B-series Header will work also.


I had a DC 4-2-1 header on my car for 2 years when i was lowered. only one scrape on my header the entire time. sure it's the worse header you can get as far as power goes, but you have to make choices...spend $500 on a header and still scrape and dent it, raise your car back up, or get something like a DC 4-2-1 style header

 

a friend of mine ran into the same exact problem with a rmf long tube knock off on his crx with a gsr he ended up with a edelbrock header that took care of it

 

well i ordered one up (highend) and well see how much clearence i get ill post pics next week when its in

 

Spoolin Performance SPfab T*DA B-series Header FTW!!! tho i have a RMF replica n it works pretty good for me..only scrapes when i back out of the driveway but my driveway sux *****..its like a mountain lol...
