Default Can you guys help me out? Backyard Special header related.

OK, This is a backyard special header, but it looks totally different than the other ones I have seen online. Does this look like it would remotly fit on a USDM ITR? I would like to know before I waste $400 on it....heh

backyard special is very JDM... If it fit on a JDM type r It should easily fit on a USDM type R... However dents are not your friend, but if it looks in good shape,

If the dents aren't big then I'd totally go for it. Backyard Special makes some cool stuff.

The Comptech Race is a MUCH better header than this Backyard Special header, and worth the $150 difference.

yes it would fit. but then you would run into a problem of it being either too short or too long. so that means you need to buy a JDM b-pipe and the stock muffler should work.. basically the welds and flanges are different between JDM and USDM


i hope this helps.

HEY CLOWN!
JW: what do u plan on putting that on if/when you get it

BTW the Comptech race header hangs down SUPER low so unless you were really careful it will have dents that bad or worse in no time
