JCW header for 150 bucks

[NXRacer]

I was looking through my new JC Whitney catalog last night and i noticed they list a header for the 88-89 accords for 150 bucks. I dont think its the pacesetter header because they list it for $300. I searched the forum and i didnt come up with anything. I think i remember reading about somebody finding this, but i couldnt seem to find it.

Any ideas? My guess its a POS but it was only 150 bucks so it caught my eye.

Another question: Does anybody know of any exhaust shops that do mandrel(sp) bending for exhausts?? I called around to a TON of shops yesterday and everybody said they dont know of anybody who does it. Most people said they dont know of anybody in the Salem (OR) area who does it and i even got a few replies saying nobody in oregon did it........meinke said they do crinkle bending for their exhausts.......this seems strange to me.

It should be a pacesetter...they should be nowhere near $300,unless its ceramic coated...even then it should only be around $240

[NXRacer]

in the catalog the header in question is listed for $150. Online the pacesetter header is $299.

[wprocomp]

plain black is prob $150 and ceramic is prob $299...I would look around though that sounds like alot of $$$...I paid $120 for my header(black paint) have you tried nopi?

[krott5333]

a pacesetter header is not $299, unless it is the ceramic coated one.


nopi.com has the black pacesetter header for about $160

The black header is $150 and the ceramic is $250.

i was gonna do that but i was trying to find somebody in town who would do it for me with a scrap piece of piping....save me some time a few bucks, but it looks like JCW is the way to go.

:lol Well I guess that's what you get for living in the ass end of nowhere, sorry. I have at least 2 exhaust shops that have a mandrel-bending machine within 10 minutes of my house.

Hey now!! We live in the capital of oregon...yeah that's right, Oregon. We leave in the ass end of somewhere, thank you very much haha.

For your exhaust question, I'd buy the pacesetter cat back, which has mandrel bends, and lop off the muffler and put what you want. That's the exhaust setup i have.

hah hah

i dont have the catalog with me right now, but i'll bring it into work tomorrow.

Alex - i'm not looking for an exhaust, i wanted to get a piece of scrap tubing for a CAI. I was thinking of getting a piece of chrome semi-truck exhaust and using it for my CAI.

[86AccordLxi]

You should get your shit running first haha (sorry, I just couldn't resist).

Alex

[NXRacer]

true dat, but i'm getting little things to have ready when its running again. I have an extra paycheck coming in 2 weeks that wont be needed for anything else that i'm gonna put into rebuilding my motor....... yay!

[86AccordLxi]

Sweet!!! Were you just going to buy a new motor or rebuild the one you have?

Alex

[NXRacer]

i've decided to rebuild the one that i have if its salvageable. Not sure how much damage was done when the oil pump went out. It didnt sieze so thats good, but it was knocking real bad before it went. I probably spun a bearing at least.

[KaMiKaZeE]

Now is as good a time as ever for that b20....

[NXRacer]

yeah, but i'll be barely able to afford a rebuild. I wont be able to afford a b20 for a while yet. I'd rather be able to drive my car then let it sit for 6 more months on top of the year its already been down......

[NXRacer]

Well, i brought the catalog in today and i still cant figure out what kind of header it is!!!

catalog stk. no - 48UD6989B - $149.95 ea
