Asspenny (craig) and I were doing some work on his new toys yesterday...take a look and let us know what you think...

Asspenny's stealthy JDM Header, powdercoated black


here it is after we cut out the anti-reversion chamber, you can see it on the ground next to it.



Pic of the front of the header, take notice to my hot spoon wheels behind it



Side view, with our Bud Light joining in for a pic



topview of the header



and now for the ultimate in stealth, his one of a kind (until I get mine from Mike's groupbuy) the only existing flat black spoon calipers...they're not done yet, still have to apply a couple of coats and then polish the Spoon/Nissin logos...

NICE! I'm hoping to get my header over winter too. I'm diggin the black spoon calipers too.

 

The header looks nice...

If you could file the paint off of the Spoon logo...

Willis

 

Very Nice
PS I like the stealth Spoon Calipers

 

The logos on the calipers should come off pretty easy. Just use some polishing wheel on a dremal or even use some light sand paper and that will take the paint right off. Thanks for posting the picture Jason.

 

What did you guy's use to cut out the reversion chamber on the header? Wonder what that would give you as far as power upgrade?

yeah, the calipers just got their first coats of paint...after a couple more, we're going to polish the spoon and nissin logos, so it will look professional (somewhat). He's got a stealthy black, wingless R, so this adds to it...

Hey Mike, I should be doing this to mine when I get mine in a couple of weeks rather have the flat black behind the flat black wheels....

 

the all powerful Dremel takes care of it all!!! Plus it makes it closer to actual 2.5" dimensions...

We used a dremel and about 20 cutting disc's. The damn things kept breaking off (the beer did not help) or they became to small to use in about 30 seconds. Other then that, it cut right through it. Now we'll just hit it with a grinding stone and finish that little lip off.

...comment on this thread? https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=78031

 

Will the powder coating on the header withstand the exhaust temps? To be totally stealth you should put the heat shield(s) on it too

 

It's a special hi temp powder coat. My uncle owns a powder shop and he did it for me. He told me, even though they cooked it on, its still a little soft and the heat from the exhaust will finish cooking/hardening it. The only thing I dont like is it is a little thin. I was hoping from something thick to keep the heat in, but atleast it wont rust.

 

When I get my Jdm Dc header I was thinking of using that High temp 1200 engine paint. Do you think that it will melt off? Or it will suffice compared to powdercoating?
