ok ive been looking aroud to getting a header but i cant decided on weather to get a Hytech oem replacement header or the new fast foward header... im just lookin for the best bang for the buck.. i have seen bother make good amts of power over stock.. im not going supercharged or anything anytime soon either. Im just lookin to do basic bolt on's for NA and get a tune with flashpro. Anyone wanna chime in and help me out on which one to get ... there is a big price diff too.

Fast Foward $850
Hytech $1350

It seems to me that you haven't asked anything that isn't discussed in the FF header thread. Nobody can tell you what is going to give YOU the best bang for YOUR buck. How much is the difference in cost worth to YOU? Performance isn't the only difference. I think the FF header is mild steel, and the Hytech is stainless steel. Personally, I think the extra price is worth it, but that's just my opinion.

However, I think you should get a FlashPro before installing either of those headers. I just did a "return to stock" calibration on my '08, and got a ton of knock. I wouldn't feel comfortable driving around like that.

 

well heres the thing i have flashpro but havnt used it yet... i was planning on gettin a a header and TB to go along with my exhaust then go straight to evans tuning and have it tuned.

 

If you install the header, then go ahead and flash the Toda calibration that Hondata included with the FlashPro.

 

OK.... do you have the hytech on your car?

 

I have the T1R.

 

I've always regarded Hytech headers as the best performing parts you can buy. Are they the best bang for the buck ?, maybe not because they are more expensive than various other headers out there. Will they get you the best performance ?, it is quite possible. They would be my first choice if price isn't a limiting factor.

 

...and the difference between mild steel and stainless steel on a painted/coated header is...?
