header question

[revized_DX]

have been looking at getting a header for my EF. looking around a little bit and always seem to end up on ebay looking at the headers they have for sale on there. my question is...would i be ok with getting one from ebay or i have a shot at getting a ZC header from my homeboy who is parting out his 91 hatch si. which would be a better choice or what is gonna be my best bet? with the famous american economy money is kinda tight and this is gonna be my christmas present to myself!

thanks in advance!:cheers:
ready for a good discussion!

i am running a Z6 block with a NO-TEC jdm d15b head right now, had to do something quick with what was available...i know its not an "ideal" pairing

Soo i take it its SOHC?? IDK, I would try to get a Ebay JDM 4-1 header if they make it for SOHC

4-2-1 Header only. 4-1 headers are garbage. 2 piece would be better and easier to install.

I like 4-1 for something that is a bigger nicer build for your motor, yeah the 4-2-1 be fine!

the ZC header is a factory 4-2-1 i believe plus its a factory part. really doesnt look as if it will crack either! anyone have any expirience with this? comparisons please!

[Tech5]

stock is a manifold not a header

well the zc/d16a8 headers are 4-2-1! you must have never seen a pair! yes they are for a dohc or are they? oh wait the zc came in a sohc and a dohc! well i guess some people dont know that. things that make you go hummmmm!!!! :idb:

[Tech5]

No the DOHC ZC is still in the D series motors my friend they use all d series parts, tranny clutch, axles, exhaust etc

I had an ebay 4-1 on a d15b7 and I liked it seemed like the car pulled better up top but I lost a good bit of low end so it depends on what you are looking for.

congrats on making yourself look even dumber. You have ONE Exhaust MANIFOLD. Not 2 HEADERS.

Exactly.

4-1 = top end

4-2-1 = low end
