well.. i'm an other Purehonda migrator...

anyway i was replacing my valve cover gasket today when i desided to remove the heat shield on the stock header... to find it's cracked... well I need a new headder... what one should I buy... I like DC but it's a little pricy for me since I am considering a B16a1 swap.

I'm looking for a good cheap header... any ideas... also a url to where i can buy it would be great.

Well, I think if your going to get a b16a, you shouldn't waste the money on a header for your current engine. just patch it up. But if you really want one. Chikara makes headers, I've heard there pretty good. they cost around $120 from summit racing. Airmass makes good ones too, they cost about $275.

 

wait till you do the swap to get a header..

i like Jackson Racing! thats what i plan on getting but otherwise
i would suggest DC Sports, Jackson Racing, Neuspeed.

those are all good ones

 

dont waste your money....... if you plan on swapping the motor "soon" then it would be a waste of time and money installing a new header.

I recommend calling some local junkyards, you should easily find an old exhaust manifold for less than $50.00. Just remember to hit all the old nuts/bolts with WD40 before cracking them loose on the block, and you will need a new gasket between the lower y-pipe and the catalytic converter if you replace the whole thing. Copper gasket sealer should help prevent any exhaust leaks. Remember to tighten all nuts/bolts to OEM honda specs.
