Aftermarket Header , what is out there?

[ghettogeddy]

don't do cheat bends...

i have to ask why

[A20A1]

You'll have to reply less quickly... I was editing my post
Go back and read it.

I thought about going that route myselfe once... but really it's not worth it, unless you are building a mockup. Which the one in the picture was. Just a mock up to see what and how many bends they would need before they make the real thing.

[DDRaptor]

hmm. in other words get a welder and i need to practice practice practice.
Thanks again.

[A20A1]

Not sure if I posted this but here is the header... my only e-bay purchase. $20

This was when I finished cutting and rewelding the A-Pipe that turns under the oil pan.

[DDRaptor]

what would you recommend for a newb welder like myself.

I heard a mig, tig, stick, and i don't know what's the difference.

[A20A1]

tig is supposed to be the best, especially around thinner more delicate areas.

I just went mig and flux cored wire...

but not backpurging and or adding gas shielding causes the welds to get funky.

mig is fun to have an is pretty easy to learn with.


wear protective gear though... you can get bad RADIATION burns if not... and also ventillate the area you're working in.

I'm always doing my jobs one handed cause I don't have a full face helmet... just some shiled I hold with my other hand to protect my eyes and face.

HPC Coatings HiPerCoat
Some of us Dodge guys have used it, not myself yet, but from what I hear, they kick Jet Hot's ass and everyone that has used them LOVES it. I am going to put a header on my Teg, and will have it coated, plus I plan to do the Edelbrock headers on my 2000 Ram all in HiPerCoat.
They say even after a few years, you just polish them up from the road grime, and they sparkle like new, even one guy had some plastic piece fall down and melt to his header, it scraped right off and the area polished up clean and left no trace.
You can also get colored coatings from HPC.......

Who makes Headers for an 89 Accord with an A20A3? I've looked around some and dont see any but seen some post earlier that makes me think there are some out there somewhere?
Anyone point me in the right direction?

Your only choice custom or pacesetter.

click on the name of the header maker for a link to their site.


S&S makes a fuel injected version... and if it doesn't then all you would need to do is add another bung hole for the second o2 sensor.

DC sports makes one, about $4-500 though. but by the pacesetter, its theSAME thing, just alittle cheaper

lawl no its not the same thing. DC is made better, its a slightly better design. and well... its just better overall. Not worth the double price though. Just thought Id clarify :p

[MessyHonda]

yeah you can pick up a pacesetter for like 180 and then i would have it coated since the paint is going to burn off and then it will turn into a rustsetter.

[labeledsk8r]

yeah go with the pacesetter, if your fuel injected you have to plug the AGR? valve (i think corect me if im rong) or if your carbed you just plug one of the
o2 sensors

They don't make them anymore smart one. They are not the same, not even close.

might not be close but i've heard people on the board say that their dc sports rusted faster than their pacesetter... so maybe better horsepower but build quality i don't know. i'd just assume build my own or have one made for the 500 price. but pacesetter is definitley cheaper that's a fact.

[ChaseR]

I just got a pacesetter on eBay and im getting it coated by JETHOT, Im hoping it''s a good choice but I can't stand the look of the Stock manifold. Good Choice heh, ONLY CHOICE. =0

[rjudgey]

What size is the main pipe on the Pacesetter? is it 2" or 2.25". also with the system is that 2" or 2.25"?
Just qurious thats all? Need a temporary fix till i can get my car road legal then i can take it down to the exhaust specialist to have one completely custom made. I think all i would need is to fabricate a tube with flexi pipe inbetween the header and the system with no cat as U.K. cars don't have to have cats pre 91 which is dead handy!!

[BITESIZE]

2 1/4 inch is the pacesetter.

AS pipe

EGR pipe you use.

[BITESIZE]

I just got an AS fitting off of a carbed one at the salvage yard, and filled it with a welder, and screwed it in.

[HondaBoy]

[FyreDaug]

2 1/4 inch is the pacesetter.

my collector is 2"....

[A20A1]

sounds good... 2" is fine for the collector diameter.

The exhast after you can up though. 2.25" 2.5"

[labeledsk8r]
