Pretty sure if you get a race header you'll have to also get an S exhaust.

Not true. While any race header may not bolt directly up to your exhaust, an exhaust shop, (or anyone that knows how to weld) can very easily take care of it with about 10 minutes of labor.

Any K-Series race header will fit. Jackson, Comptech, and DC all make race headers. There is also a few custom Race headers starting to show up, but from what I hear, with a stock head, you can't beat the Jackson/Comptech for power... at least for now.

Actually if you look at Toda's header it blow everything else away.

I don't see why... People put Toda parts on B16's. Why not put Toda parts on an K20A3?

But people want to be different. not everything also can afford a K20a2. so they want to maximize the potential of a A3.

Aznbo1626... I take it you don't have any Toda header dyno plots available?

Honestly, I am not going to believe it is better than any of the other headers out there until I see some numbers. Toda makes quality parts, no doubt... but this alone isn't enough to sell me.

Why not? People buy RACE headers for every other Honda motor, why not the K20A3?
