I've been emailing back and fourth with a popular header company about a solution to the header crisis we non-vtec guys have been dealing with. I made this thread to gauge interest in a 4-2-1 header like the one pictured below.

I would be interested replica or not. It would be another option from what we have now. It looks wicked. I bet it would have some nice gains as well.

looks nice. As long as there si no leakage issues with the slip fit, then I am interested as well.Comment

It does look nice, my only concern is the bend for the 4-2 collector looks sharp, and may affect flow. Also curious about whether it would clear out accessories.Comment

Good thing I didnt buy the ebay exhaust kit lol.
Idk Man, Im only lowered 2.5 inches and I scrape and bump my oil pan and "down pipe"(i know it as a b pipe but thats not what its called), either way if I buy its just going to sit in storage till I find some one to make scrape plates this bottoming out/pothole rally type streets are shit.Comment

Hell yeah I need my accessories. I tried driving with out powersteering and after about 3 months all I can say is fuck that ! My wrist hurt from driving so much. The car ws clearly meant to have power steering.Originally posted by cloudasc View PostComment

power steering clearance doesn't look to be an issue, so much as the A/C lines in front of the radiator. So long as it clears all accessories then I am in.Comment

I see alot of you guys asking about fitment, leakage and so on. I installed this on my civic (b18b) over 2 yrs ago. It was night and day difference. Only thing you would have to do is get a adjustable test pipe. Im saying this with my civic but most likely will be the same for the accod chassis.
I have a ebay cat back, with a Blox test pipe with this style header and its sounds great but also loud. Girlfriend can hear me about a mile away and thats no lie.
I would recommend this for anyone regardless of vtec or non-vtec enginesComment

This is good, the more people showing interest the better chance we have at green lighting this project.Comment

oneoff, your comment doesn't address "fitment, leakage and so on." If the Logic header for the H22 (same design as above) needs a significantly notched crossmember, or to be replaced altogether with a traction bar, to clear in a Prelude, we're going to have the same problems in an F22 I would imagine. And slip joints are only as reliable as the person who designs the fit; I'd weld it up anyway.
Logic in a BB6:

what was junk about it? im not trying to insult you but are you sure it was installed correctly? i checked your MRT, it says you have the hytech header and not a replica, is this true? nice numbers by the way.Last edited by jdm92_accorn; 01-31-2013, 08:55 PM.Comment

No insult taken.. Yea it was on its way to being installed correctly, up until the point of fitting the slip joints together. They were all out of whack. Some were egg shaped and others were oval. It would've taken some serious modification to get that header to fit! Very poorly made.. That's my personal experience with PLM products, but others have had good things to say about them (which is why I tried them in the first place). But there's nothing like a real deal Hytech, which is what I haveOriginally posted by jdm92_accorn View Post

well bro this is the closest us f series guys are going to get so im trying to get supporters. i think if i can get them to make a good quality replica then we could see some good numbers. the bisimoto one is ok but 4-1 doesnt do too well on the f22's and all the 4-2-1 headers on the market are worse.Comment
