Default Best h22 header in an swapped accord

There are so many choices out there can you guys post some pics of good headers please. I know there are several brands making good headers but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg like the bisimoto header for example is too expensive.

From what I've gathered, short of a full-custom header, the $450 Hytech clones on eBay are the best bet, the last pic you posted. The other ones, like that flat-bottom tri-y are for civic swaps and would need modification most likely to work. I think the Hytech clone will also work with AC lines and such.

<p>&quot;BEST&quot; assumes quality and performance.&nbsp; That Chinese crap is not quality.</p>

It's the $60 Chinese headers, the $200 chinese/DCSports/ect headers, the $450 Chinese Hytech clones, or a full custom $1000 header. There's what's reasonable and practical, and I personally will not spend as much on the manifold as I do on an engine. The Hytech clones have been proven to generate power, more than stock and more than DCSports/ect.

OP, just look for something specifically labeled as a PLM or Hytech replica/copy/clone and pay $450 for it. Those will be the decent ones. I am seeing some. I'm specifically thinking of the Try-Y that uses the longitudal bolts to hold the four sections together. The crooked 4-to-1 with the really long straight primaries may not clear the fans and will definitely not work with stock AC lines.

This should be called best budget header because a replica isn't in the same league with the word best alone.

True. That qualifier does deserve the place you've given it.
