Do ya'll know if i can get me an h, f, or b series headers. Or, 80-90 dsm headers. idk, ya'll tell me. tbh idc what car is coming off from, as long as the flange diameter and bolt patterns are the same.

OBX is the only company that makes headers. Unless you find a parts car or something with like DC sport headers. No other headers for other b, h, and f series headers will work. Only headers for the B20a or the b21a.

I have a DC Sport header that I would be willing to part with. Let me know if you are still looking for one and I can provide some pictures.

Loud lol

but after fixing the giant hole in my flex pipe where the main engine support used to bolt on (ripped out after hitting a dip)it almost sounded like an old 90s integra with vtec. Smooth but strong. Its crazy that the B21 isnt much bigger than the B20 but its got more power and sound you can feel. The B20 is loud and slowly gets up to speed and has much torque but slow to get up into 3rd. The B21 after the headers feels more punchy I guess with more feeling in the bottom end.

I will try to get a video after rebuilding everything but ill post some [pics later. Theyre made ok. Nice metal and color but the welds are so so especially inside. I mean considering they were roughly 500 to 600$ retail they could have paid a bit more attention to beading then smoothing the welds and maybe creating a better flow through curve without ridges or huge dips where the welds are. id give them a 3.5 out of 5 but if the welds were better theyd be 4.5 /5 due to high cost and low hanging flex pipe.

Unequal length headers do not do anything performance wise for this motor.
So that is a colossal waste of money of $1500.

A Bswap is a better use of that money for real performance.

My friend did one of those unequal length headers for a customer in Cali, other than sound it did nothing.
Cost him around $1500 3 years ago.

So probably more now.

Spend money where it benefits the car.
