Best Header?

[BB6-SH]

I read through the posts in the link pasted earlier. Very good thread by the way. There was a section where someone listed all the carb exempt headers. It had DC, ofcourse and im pretty sure I saw megan and obx on that list also. Is this accurate?

megan headers are not legal not too sure on the obx one. Only the dc and greddy that i know of.

Are the DC headers with the 2.5" collector still carb legal?

Not sure on this one. I saw on one website it said CARB exempt or pending.

whats all this carb stuff

i have no idea what you guys are talking about

cali rules?

I hope it is. The dc header with 2.5" collector, 2.5" catco cat, 2 18" glasspacks, with a good muffler. That recipe would be the sex, deep non ricey power. Thats what I plan on running. Its no bisimoto setup, but I think it would be a very good smog legal street setup.

cali rules?

Yup cali law that requires any engine modification to have a number which makes it legal. If you don't, you don't pass visual inspection even if you pass the actual pollutant test, you still fail.

I forgot to mention the old Vibrant header, which made 9whp over a greddy header. Although discontinued, if you can find one it is said to be just as good as the mugen header.

check your local laws and double check with any in your region. Im not familiar with laws with in your area. If it's a real high flow cat it should pass the sniffer, a test pipe is a no no.

[noobcake]

yeah
im defenetly going to fail

is there ne word on when bisi's h22a header is coming out to the market?

[deevergote]

Not yet. The F22A header just hit the market, and that was a long time coming. I wouldn't look for the H22A header to show up anytime soon, but it'll be along eventually. I'll wait patiently

[sunburn]

How about esp's h22 header?

[deevergote]

I keep forgetting abut ESP's header.

Yeah, that's a decent piece, and probably the best thing you're going to get for under $500. If you're going to go "budget", and don't need CARB exemption, then the ESP header is the way to go. It's not as heavily engineered as the Bisimoto header, but it provides better gains than any mass-market offering.
