ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    stock vs aftermarket headers

    What's the big difference between the stock headers and aftermarket other than the clean look?

    Flow. However there is also a difference between crappy brands and name brands to.
    What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

    You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

          Are they a good bang for the buck? Is it worth to pay 500 bucks for them?

            As long as you get all of your headers.

            My CB7 only has one header.

              To be honest depends. You have an H or F ?

                Depends how much money you have to spear, If you got money burning a hole in your pocket spend $500. If you don't go with the headers they have on ebay, like most people do. [I think]

                I don't think they're is much of difference from the stock to an aftermarket i do have an a6 though so its almost the same setup, besides the deeper sound. I have an ebay header on my coupe and its utter crap when it comes to quality but it gets the job done, I wish I had my DC Sports from my last coupe still. It'd look cooler, plus more JDM street cred.

                  You're probably right.

                  91cbseven: Just go to your local JY (junkyard) and try to find an F22A4, pull that off and you'll have a nice upgrade to your current header (assuming you have an F22A1).

                    I have the f22a4 set up with stock headers

                    Sometimes I forget that 5 hp to a Engine that only had 130 to start with is good. That is almost a 4% horsepower gain!

                      5 hp to the crank maybe, by the time it gets to the wheels you're looking at maybe 1-2 hp. I wouldn't waste money on an aftermarket HEADER if you have the A4, unless you want something shiny for a few months.

                          Most likely no, unless you're for some reason running a really lean mix. The wrap will just make the header temperature raise since it's not getting "cold" air from the outside (not really cold cold air but you get the point, lower than the exhaust gases).

                            If you're talking about Bisimotos header, it gives you 15 whp.
                            But I think that's $900, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

                              What? hows DC jdm in anyway shape or form? You do realize the dc is the same design as most of the generic's right? so looks are the same besides the coating.
