Generic Tri-Y headers?

[B16]

Opinions on these? Looking for something cheap for my build that might perform better than a JDM DC for under $300? I found this for $350 shipped:

The Ultimate Tri Y B/H/D series header! Largest power gains, lowest price, fast ship! - Honda-Tech

flatter going under the car... sits higher against the engine... more ground clearance... less likelihood of it getting smashed to shit heading hard into an uphill or running too far out on an apron


ive got the fastline performance skid plate on my ITR 4-1 and it has done its job several times... well worth the $60

you can get 2 $175 ones for the cost of the more expensive one. and it doesn't look like it hangs too too low.

i'd say get the cheapo. if you smash it, get the 350 one with the skid plate later.

most tracks aren't too full of pot holes, or have driveways, etc to hit. i think you'll be ok with a little bit hanging. your car doesn't ride to too low.

w/ the b18c in there it'll sit a tad lower

Thanks guys!

Ahhh. Yea, if I got a new header, I would definitely try to find or make a skid plate for it. Right now I've got stock b-pipe from a JDM Prelude that I got from Hmotors when I got my swap; it came pre-dented.....

the gsr doesn't sit any lower than the b16.... the header is still the same size, and so is the head.
if anything, the shorrter block deck height in the b16 would make the header sit lower to the ground.
