The Only Header Thread You Should Ever Post In

[si2accord]

I think im going to pass on my testpipe idea and just save for PLM header and a custom 3' exhaust.
I had purchased the PLM header but decided to flip it.


Since i have Ktuner i should get some real nice gains with the bolt on setup.
Next will include rdx injectors and maybe cams and obviously tune. Hoping for a realistic 200whp

Holy crap! Those collectors on that PLM header don't look like very good at all. It's a good thing you flipped it.

A good header with a 3" exhaust should definitely help you though.

Anyone heard of these pacesetter headers?

The ceramic ones seems out of stock but they got the painted one in stock.
Seems to have a similar design to the DC headers but with a different flex pipe.

Got any thoughts on this ?

[CrackerTeg]

I wouldn't.

[Pascal]

What do you mean ?

[CrackerTeg]

Their reputation puts them in the same category as eBay headers. That's why I wouldn't.

[Pascal]

I knew they weren't the best quality out there but I felt like they would be a great quality/price set of headers, at least better than  ebay headers. In your opinion, theses are worst that DC sports ?

[CrackerTeg]

Yes.

[Pascal]

Hey what about a TSX Comptech headers ? I know they should be around 2 in longer than the accord headers, but since i'll have to get a custom echaust anyway, I guess it doesn't matter. They seems to be good quality, price is decent and the reviews I've seen so far are good.

Looking to make a 2.5 in exhaust after that, then split 2.25 at the rear with dual mufflers

For those who would like to know what PLM TSX headers looks like, here is the set I just bought.
Don't know about gains but quality is pretty good.

[CrackerTeg]

Mmmm, weld porn.

[Pascal]

It is ! I never expected that from a budget header !

[timot_one]

Do you know the diameter and length of the primaries and secondaries? I forgot what is best, but the pairing of the primaries may be the reason why it's a budget. I'll have to pull up my notes about cylinder pairing with 4-2-1 headers. Either way, for an off the shelf budget header, it's not too bad.

[Pascal]

I think I can find them somewhere

[Pascal]

couldn't find it so I measured them, length is approximate, with a measuring tape at center of tube, stopped/began at center of merge and collector. Diameter is measured with a digital caliper.

Primaries : 1.75- 1.9 OD;  28" length
secondaries : 2.0 OD;  13" length
Collector: 2.5 OD

It is known for making good power, especially in the mid range. Does better than the CT-e one (about 7whp, dyno proved)
