I'm planning to upgrade my jdm 4-1 header to the toda header. My compression is around ~11.6:01 and i've got toda B cams. Would this be a worthy upgrade enough to justify the 900-1000 dollar price tag? Also, would it be imperative that i get my car retuned? Or can i drive around a bit untuned until i get a few more things on my car before i tune again?

 

I have it on my car. Worth it. I am selling though.

 

I figure for that price, you might as well spend the extra couple hundred and get a hytech or smsp header.

 

I do have a Hytech header too. It's sitting in my garage.

 

How long is the wait for a hytech header? Also, i need something that can bolt up to my apexi n1 cat-back w/carsound cat. I'm not looking to buy a complete hytech exhaust system (header, cat, cat-back). I was looking into the comptech race header, but its a little longer and would require me to remove my cat. How much is the hytech header anyway?

But besides that, i am trying to ask for input from people that have the toda header. Opinions/reviews are welcome. thanks

 

I bet for a custom header, it will take at least 3-4 month (maybe I don't really know). That is why I went with the Toda Header, and I love it. I don't have the cams or the compression you do, but I definitely think it will be better than the jdm 4-1. Tuning? I think you will be fine without tuning for now, but I would recommend that you do if you decide to get a better header.

 

imho, the toda header is among the best off the shelf headers you can buy.

For the $, it's a great piece and able to support 200whp comfortably.

It actually had more low end power than my hytech header too!

 

Black R: Thats sweet, Do you have any dyno plots of toda vs hytech? How did the top end compare to the hytech header?

ketone: yeah i will get tuning, but that toda header will eat my wallet pretty fast.

 

"ketone: yeah i will get tuning, but that toda header will eat my wallet pretty fast."

LOL, mine is still empty

 

I have the toda header and i love it! Although im not at the 200 whp range yet

 

Toda = Best production header made by far.

 

Toda is a greta header but in my opinion the best header is the SMSP. Why?? the dyno talks, also is a little different from the pack. If you have money to buy a TODA go SMSP.

P.D. I just installed the SMSP test pipe and my car is so great is even a different car. Dave thanks for all your help. Now i have a real R.

 

consider also the Toda header is SS

That's Right James, keep talking in up, because you know you want one as your next mod!

 

Those of you who have a SMSP header, how long was the wait for it?
