Ok guys nothing detailed but just figured id show ya some pics of my new setup.

98 integra, 10-94 compact header, 2.5" cat 2.5" piping and a magnaflow oval 2.5" muffler

overall it sounds awsome.... deep growly sound... power gains seem pretty good (no dyno yet) i know i had to raise my fuel pressure up about 8 psi or so. i weighed my car before and after there seems to be about a ~30-40 lb difference (had slightly different amounts of gas).

only negatives are the ground clearance. i had to raise my car up a bit so i wouldnt scrape. i had it tig welded but the welds dont look so pretty so please dont criticize them .

here are the after pics....

this is to show the clearance in the front


and from the side

heres some more shots

 

that header looks pretty beat down- what did you do to it?

 

lol, i installed it.... if your talking about the appearance of it well the "coating" that was on there is flaking off

 

oh yeah, I remember now... didn't it used to have some orange stuff on it? (header)

 

im sorry man.

Yet another dissappointment from 10-94. I swear, I haven't seen one header produced by them that was visually pleasing to me. I am sure it probably performs, but basing opinions on appearance of headers, 10-94 would not get my vote. Was this the same header that had the horrible welds and misshaped ports? Also, how come NONE of the 10-94 headers I have seen look anything like the one that they advertised on their website. Its supposed to be equal length coming off the head, and all 4 runners go side bye side under the oil pan for good ground clearance...the ones I have seen are the exact opposite.

 

not to TJ- but mine should be here next week (I hope) and I'll put some pics up for you to see... maybe I can convice you otherwise

 

your not running a resonator how loud is it without the resonator do you get that raspy slight bee's in a can thing? just wondering because i mite do it if its not too loud

 

it is loud but its not raspy at all.... very deep

i havent really heard it from outside but inside its pretty loud at 3k (kinda resonates)

 

I'm not sure how he could make a tig weld look like that unless he was using the wrong gas. He needs to talk with his welding supply shop and make sure he's using the right gas and rods for the material being welded.

Also, you guys did away with your flex joint, a weld joint(s) will fail sooner than later.

 

it looks loud

i have no idea what gas was being used... the rods were correct though.

 

yes

 

Someone kill me.

 

u feel more power with this header? and will these welds hold up anyway?

 

i cant tell ya if the welds are gonna hold up, only time will tell. the welds did penetrate and they are thick. again these welds were done for me locally.

and yes i feel more power

 

Im so suprise to hear you gain power with big tube step header on a LS motor... Even a ported LS head does not flow as well as a good v-tec head.... I wonder if you would of gain the same power with a shelf header...
