I was just wondering if anyone had any good header suggestions for a F23A1 motor on my 2000 Accord SE? I've been looking around and all I can find for my motor is the generic DC Sports SS header, which as promising as it looks, doesn't look like it'd please me too much. I've been reading up on custom headers from HeaderTech ect, and was discouraged by the apparent "wait time" for the fabrication of them. If worse comes to worse, I guess I'll just put up with the wait time, but I'd prefer not to have to. Naturally with my luck, there wont be any more options other than custom, but I guess I'll survive.

 

I've heard bad things about the DC headers. They tend to crack, but you can find them for around $300 on eBay. The ceramic ones, at least.

Try, and find a Neuspeed N2 header. Discontinued, but they are out there.

If you plan on running nitrous, I've got the header just for you. Kamikaze 4-1 with a 2.5" collector.

 

Mannn I been around online forums for a while, and NEVER heard ANYTHING bad about DC Sports headers. They'll always be a great choice no matter what. Certainly never heard anything about cracking.. I personally dont beleive that rumor.

eeehhhh. I would have to disagree. Mine lasted for about a year or so, and then the header started to leak. It became very bad. To the point that once could smell exhaust fumes inside the car while waiting for the light to change.

Save yourself 150 dollars and don't buy OBX header.

 

I have been very happy with my Kamikaze. The perfect header for a sprayed engine. Well, not exactly perfect, but ya know.

I contacted Bisimoto about a custom header for f23a1, price would be ~$699 with a wait of around 2 weeks. Very much worth it. IMO.

How come? Do they have different header for N/A vs nitrous? How can one tell the difference?

What makes you say this? I've never heard of this company...shed some light. Have you seen dyno numbers?

 

So two of you guys have experience with the kamakazi headers, like these? http://www.mmrusa.com/kamaccord.htm
Got any dyno pics or any info off hand about the performance they put out? If not, I'll just go search for it... Thanks.

 

bisimoto

anyone who gets an f22 to go as fast as he does lol, must know what hes doing

plus hes a very nice guy, you cant lose

 

I have had my OBX one for 2 years, no problems yet....sorry i must have lost the charts

 

im sorry but id rather keep stock parts than go with something that says obx on it.

 

LoL, so at this point, I'm looking at Kamakazi/DC Sports SS/Custom? Thanks. Anyone else?
