Last week I bought this header from ebay, quality is ok, and I'll be installing it this weekend. :p

The only thing I'm a bit worried is about ground clearance, but since the the B16B is taller than the B16A I hope I don't have any issues. I'll post photos when I install it :wow:

ground clearence is bad, trust me, not sure what to make of some copies as slight innaccuracy to original can loose nice chunk of performance, try and get dyno results before/after

I will hehehe :p
 
got a real one, its bit of hynrid though as was designed by friend along with john at hytech but looks identical to standard hytech, while being made though had another hole for wideband fitted
 
well this is very good replicas (I sold few) and they makes realy big gain. Probably you will have some issues when fitting. I saw +14ps over jdm 4-1 header on fully built engine.

This is really good price/result
 
this really kills me that they're wasting all this metal to produce a replica that has poor ground clearance.

I won't get into the ethics of replicating an original...but dear LORD...if you're going to copy it, at least do it RIGHT - like the Toda copy out there...
 
I recently fitted an RMF Narrow replica header to my mates DC2 and the ground clearance is very good, better than stock!
 
I'll add photos of the ground clearance.

I agree with you guys, replicas usually suck, but I think this replica is better than the B16B oem header!
 
show us the dyno grafs when done !!
Reliability of the welds and the metal against the corrosion is that thing that makes me anxious with all header replicas :nerv:
 
some of they headers look really good for copies and the price compaird to the real thing. anythin has to be better than the oem header keep us posted rvm and lets hope the ground clearance aint that bad

What's the first impression of your butt dyno? I know that's an unreliable instrument but I'd still like to know :D
