Default Looking for headers

J's Racing Header

Spoon racing 4-2-1 Header

Amuse R1 Header

Which one is good, what are they good at?? I'm about to get the used J's racing header for $1200 at the sales forum, should I get that one?? I also heard that Spoon is a good aftermarket brand for Hondas, is that true??

Here are some deatails

Hytech. $1,300. www.hytechexhaust.com. You will have to call to order. Guys name is John. Knows more about the F20/22C then everyone combined. Ask him a couple questions like: "what's the design philosophy behind the header," and you will agree.

Tell him Jeremy sent you.

I've heard great things about both the Amuse and J's...but I went with a Mugen because it was the only one specifically designed for the F22C. I love it.

But from what I hear, they are all comparable and very close.

My only recommendation is that before you make a header purchase call John at Hytech and talk to him about his header. He's probably the only header designer you can actually call and talk with that makes a header for the S2K (maybe Berk as well, but the Berk is basically the same as high end JDMs in terms of design, whereas the Hytech takes a completely different philosophy).

Most header designs use the lessons learned on B18s and they don't work on the F20C/F22C.

Save your money and buy a Berk with one of their test pipes. Ypu can even get the Berk header Hyper Coated to help with the some heat management.

I have had the header and test pipe installed about a month. We first installed the test pipe, to me my butt dyno could tell a diffrance right away. We then installed the header and again I could feeel a marked differance in performance.

Once I get my intake manifold back from back from being ported and I get it installed I wil be taking the car over to have it dynoyed. That should be by the end of this month. I will post my results.

youre all wrong.

Ricks header FTW. Good price, light(er) weight, and it gains power. Not to mention Ricks a sponsor here. I see no downside unless you want the super tYte JdM shYte y0!
