Which would give the best power gains for a B18C1?

 

SMSP, Hytech, JG modified by IB, and most custom headers that cost a pretty penny will out perform any of those headers you listed. What's best is up to who tunes it and what parts you have to compliment the header with. Do a search.

 

From the choices above. Comptech's race header.

 

i had a DC ceramic header and i switched from that to a comptech and loved the comptech alot better, it felt like i had more in the low end, so comptech gets my vote

 

i chose comptech... but only if its the race header

and like said above.. you'll see better results if u buy a big boy header(hytech, headertech, smsp, an-r, toda, etc...) and custom 2.5 exhaust all the way back!

for the money, header tech

 

Doesn't the difference between 4-1 versus 4-2-1 outweigh the brand?

 

I have been EXTREMELY happy with my JDM ITR 4-1. Therefore, I voted for that!

 

The ITR header would have the most performance gain because of the larger 2.5" collector. Unless you are actually talking about the comptech race header which also has a 2.5" collector. But the race header is not really comparable to the ITR since it is about twice the $$$. Once your in that price range you might as well either keep saving and get a Hytech or SMSP, or at least compare it to the spoon or jun headers. Just my opinion, JFoster

 

ive greddy stainless steel 4-2-1, and they OWN, just some input, I have insane top end now

 

None of you guys like the Bosal/Brospeed header?

So the other comptech header isnt favorable ?

I was gonna get a comptech 4-2-1 not the race header - instead of a regular dc 4-1 (not jdm) i do not have the finances to get 2.5 all the way back

 

Give me a price range and I'll tell you what header to get.

 

350 max - possibly 4, but just remember i have stock cat and greddy cat-back, so if it requires a 2.5 cat then gotta figure that into the equation

 

what year Gs-R?

this is one of those cases, where it might be better to save up and buy a complete system.

 

96 - still obd2

 

i gotta go with the jg header with ib mod.

 

ib mod ?

Importbuilder mod ? which consists of what? collector mod?

 

I need a stupid header already.

 

anyone have experience comparing ceramic coated, jdm headers that have had the welds cleaned up and collector fixed up to the expensive brand name headers out there?

 

First of all, it really depends on how much pocket change you have to spend. If you want the best bang for your buck get the DC Sports JDM 4-1 header. It has a 2.5" collector flange as the JDM Type-R header. But on the other hand if you want to spend some cash on a header, get the TODA header.

 

Comptech is your best choice but if you do have emissions you should go with the D/C sports(Carb legal issues) or you can also look into the Chikara. 4-2-1

 

that chirka is the biggest piece of junk i have ever seen, I would rather have stock

 

smsp, hytech, typeone
