now i'm starting to feel like a dick. oh well. ok, i traded a brand new vafc + $15 to help out for shipping for a 96-97 spec jdm itr header. i was told it was a 4-2-1 design with a 2.5" collector. i was under the impression that an itr exhaust manifold on a jdm itr would be all tubular steel.

the header i got is two piece, cast iron top piece, tubular steel bottom piece. 2.5" outside diameter on the collector. the actual piping in the collector is 1 5/8". i was under the impression that a 2.5" collector meant that the piping was 2.5". please tell me if i'm wrong. thanks

btw, no flaming

 

you my friend, just got some *** rampage action

 

You might have gotten exactly what you paid for.
The "tubular" JDM 4-1 is probably 98+.

96-97 JDM header is the same as the USDM 98-01 header, which is 2 piece and very small diameter wise.

 

You didn't get scammed, but you did buy "the wrong one" so to say.

 

so whoever sold you that header was looking to actually sucker someone

No, a jdm 4-2-1 has a 2.5 in. collector and is from the 1996-97 JDM ITR.

 

too bad for you man...like it was posted earlier, u get what you paid for. but in yoru defense, the seller probably knew what you were expecting but sold you the wrong item anyways with ambiguity i mind.

 

BTW, my bet is you got a regular USDM ITR header...worth 60 or 70 bucks...

I've never seen that it was that size anywhere. All documentation I've ever seen was that it was a 2in 4-2-1.

i knew i was buying the 96-97 spec header. i didn't have the cash for a 98+ jdm itr header. i was pretty much straight trading my new vafc for this header and cat. no way would anyone trade a 98-01 jdm itr header for a vafc. i know most people use the 98-01 header. that doesn't mean i "bought the wrong one." i had some bad header rattle from my stock piece, i had no cash, but had the vafc, and it was my ticket to eliminate the header rattle.

so let me ask this: is the 96-97 spec jdm itr header a two piece with a cast top piece?

Yes!

Not according to him it isn't, Ed.

All taht I've read points to it being cast, smaller, and two piece, VERY similar to the 98+ usdm header.

I had the CTR/96 ITR spec 4-2-1. the collector is roughly 2.5"
He probably got the USDM stock header since he said it's 1_5/8"

Plus, he still seemed to be asking if it was supposed to be tubular, right/no?

Plus this "guy" is still asking about it being "tubular"? No?

Chris, the only question here seems to be about the 2 1/2" collector.
One out of XX isn't bad.
