I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

opinions on this header

Post by Fonzu » August 11, 2006

Just wanted to know if any of you have tried this manifold on their car. Or if you have any opinion on these products.

From experience, i know that they do very good quality & sounding mufflers, but i've never heard anything about their header.

Never heard of the header or anyone with one.

For that price why not get one of the tried and true companies like DC, etc.?

^ agreed. I like the design, it's as if Honda made a 4-2-1 version of the type R mani, but for the price maybe DC or OEM Honda is better?

I think maybe the question is does anyone else make a long 4-2-1 with a 2.5" collector?

*edit* My best friend had an "SMS" header on his built GSR, I forget the price but maybe check into them? It was the best Honda/Acura header I've ever laid eyes upon.

pretty expensive, but I know someone who has the 3" oval Vibrant muffler and it is very nice

I remember reading something over at honda-tech about them, think it was something either about rusting or shitty welds. You might want to do a search over there.

I had a Vibrant exhaust on a previous car, the quality was really good. All the welds were top notch and the finish never chipped or flaked off. Nothing bad to say about them here.

He's not talking about throwing down a major chunk of change, but for $500 there are other manufacturers out there that their products are tried and true.
