we all have gotten to know Dave and John on the board and their input is very much appreciated. I've learned a lot from their posts. In fact I think their headers are in the top echelon of available headers.

However, I do wonder though if there are other header builders we aren't aware of.

R&D, Cook's, Gemini all make racing headers for the B series engine for racing teams but we hardly hear from them.

Has anyone here checked out these other companies?
Just wondering......

and please, no comments about Hot Shot (we know their personal ethics did not receive a stellar review here from their past "history" ).

 

Borla?

 

hello, I could tell you didnt catch the NHRA presentation awards last night or you would have seen about 3 other companies out there who are getting into the import exhaust production line.

LOL, you missed Edelbrock/JG bolt-on race/street headers ... guys who run 10's all motor use those headers, yah and my name loco pinga !!!


Greg

 

Do the JG/Edelbrock headers come with a gun rack?!

 

Harhar!

 

As a side note, I am trying to get JG/Edlebrock involved with the header test..... we'll see.

 

I guess I wasn't being clear enough: JG does a lot of things but I don't consider them a custom header builder. Edlebrock makes for JG an off the shelf header which is like Toda, Jun, Mugen, Spoon, DC, JDM OEM, etc.

If you call John or Dave, they will build you a header to spec, although John's header is more an off the shelf type with some flexibility with the collector and cat flanges.

Realtime uses Gemini who builds exhausts and headers for a lot of road racing teams including the bikes. I saw the R&D or was it AEBS had their own header for their engines on a magazine article. Cook's has been building domestic headers for a long time and do make Honda ITR headers if you ask them. I have not met anyone who has any of these though.

I guess the racing world really does not have time to cruise on the net. I was hoping some customers may enlighten us on their experiences though.

Greg: Who were the other exhaust makers at the NHRA dinner jumping on the bandwagon? I assume they had to be domestic header makers...Borla?, Holley/BBK?

 

Hytech

 

Hytech is No.1 on my wish list.
I can't wait to see the results from the header test on how the Hytech will blow all the other JDM made headers away.

 

I have one of the Kooks/axz b series headers as well as my new Smsp.

 

Yah, so you gonna post pics or make a comment for Micheal D.?

Wait til you see the Amuse Ti header - think they only make it for the S2000 right now, but if I make it to TAS, I'll ask if a B18C header is available

 

Comptech, but I don't know if they willing to sell to the general public.
