looks HOT
peace

 

I have it

Its an awesome header, but a bitch to get in

I recommend it

EDIT: and thats 13 hp OVER the DC Sports

 

Bottom line: Best header for an H22A in an EG. Period. Buy it if you're serious.

 

hows the clearance on this header?

Hugs the Oil pan

If you are dumped, that might be another story

CLiff Notes: IF you lower your car too much, you hit things

damn that nice,not a bad price either!

 

Looks like a damm nice header to me. Real good price. Now i wanna buy it

 

I'm currently running the header , The header truelly gave nice power throughout powerbands. A bitch to get on and it hangs low, prolly about 1"-1 1/2 " under the oil pan. If your running 15's dont even think about it. I have my car jacked up high and I still hit bumps in the road. I'm thinking about making a skid plate . The I.E. header also rattles like a **** and could of been a better design.

I think that might be a bit of a stretch. "Serious" headers don't have formed collectors, and the build quality appears to leave a bit to be desired. For the money, I'm sure it isn't a bad option, but there are better pieces out there.

 

it is supposta be the ****

I'm sure someone makes a better header for an H22A in a Prelude, but with the fitment issues and all, and this header being specifically made for an H22A EG, this is the best job-specific header you can buy for your swapped setup. It makes hellish power over the DC unit throughout the powerband, it looks pretty good and the clearance is nice.

I do agree that it could be manufactured a little nicer, but power is power and I can't argue with a dyno sheet .

True. I'd be interested to see a back-to-back done with SMSP's H22 header. His was dynoed a while ago on a H22A4, and made ~206 whp with relatively few mods (the header was tested "open", but otherwise the engine had basics bolt-ons and only a FPR for fuel tuning). While his H22 header isn't designed specifically for this hybrid application, my understanding from his posts is that it does fit, and his quality is second-to-none. Of course, it's more expensive, but the pricing he indicated at that time was for a stainless piece with a complete bolt-up collector flange and merge collectors throughout. Again though, if the gains from the IE unit are accurately represented by their dyno graph, it is a good performer for the money.
