I recently purchase a Comptech SS Header from Mikes01GSR, best seller on H-T.

Here's a link :

Anyways, I have just installed Comptech Header for USDM ITR on my 95 Civic Coupe with 96 JDM B18C-R, and also with a USDM ITR Cat.

Previously, I asked around on H-T about fitment issues with the above set up and I did not get many response. I was so worried that it would not bolt in, and I have to modify it to fit.

During the installation, I thought the header was too short, but after everthing was done it looked great.

Everthing fit exactly well, no mods at all and great clearance.

I used all new gaskets, nuts and bolts. Does anyone know long do OEM Cats last?

After the installed, I took it out for a spin and it felt stronger (butt Dyno).

I will try to get some dyno #'s next week, but until then enjoy the pics.

great quality stuff, clearance rocks

 

comptech headers are made too close to oilpan and that heat up oilpan which is not good. JDM itr 4-1 is about same price or even cheaper but outperformance comptech as i was told.

Moreover, I don't think you would feel strong different by install header and stock cat.

Before the Comptech Header, I had the 1996 JDM ITR OEM Cast Iron Manifold with 2.5 outlet.

I did not know that the Stock Manifold was so heavy, until I pulled it off.

Also I have a RS*R Exhaust System on my Coupe, but I was bottle necking with my stock DX Cat which I was using before I got the ITR Cat.

Plus I bought the Comptech from a fellow H-T member for a good price.

 

yeah that header is going to have much smoother primaries, not to mention bigger diameter. although it may sit a tad closer to the oil pan its not that big of a deal, warmer oil or busted header?
