Best 1991 Exhaust Headers

[Speedmaster]

I took photos of 97-99 and 00+ headers side by side today. I will post up the photos shortly.

IIRC, the Pride headers are the exact same length and layout as the Fujitsubo. They also use the same collector diameter (2.36") as the Fujitsubo. Not sure if the internal collector geometry is the same. This I why I chose the Pride to match to my genuine Super Ti exhaust. I did not dyno, but the power increase was significant. Fitment was perfect too.

One of the most important considerations when buying headers is the merge collector. RFY (Racing Factory Yamamoto) has some of the best merge collectors i've seen on the NSX. This is where I would cast doubt on the Pride. Would be good to know....

Proper merge collectors take a lot of time and care to make. Equal length are a bit easier to achieve.

Lovefab makes the best headers if money isn't a concern. You can custom order to your specific design goals.

I'd say Burns Stainless has better collectors. Also equal length isn't that easy. Not many headers out there have primaries within 1" of each other.

An idea I've been toying with is to buy a cheap, crappy used set of Top Speed/OBX etc. headers and put a Burns collector on them...

Already been done by Jay Chen & Modified Mag.

And it didn't seem worth it given the cost IIRC.

 

[stuntman]

The collectors were as expensive as the headers.

So it's back to Pride for me lol. Or RFY if my JDM hookup is still available...

I'm just excited you're back in the NSX game. Not many of us here who can shoot the sh*t about appropriate NSX mods anymore dying breed we are!

 

[jones83]

That probably didn't come off correctly.

 

[stuntman]

Taitec is probably the best headers out there off the shelf. They appear to truly be equal length...

[MENTION=33290]SpeedyPartsJapan[/MENTION] Word on the street is the owner of Taitec is terminal; so snatch up those EL headers while/if you still can!

I had wanted taitec, but a couple of years ago A.S. was having quite the wait to get them. He finally mentioned that it was pretty much a one man operation and he'd been sick. That's sad to hear. I ended up going with KSP at the advice of A.S. because of the wait, and they are beautiful. My car sounds drastically different than my friend's equipped with taitec as well.

There is a set of used taitec headers, high flow cats, and NA2 exhaust adapters on eBay right now for 1800...

Can never go wrong with KSP. Great exhausts and headers.

True, the KSP is an excellent piece of craftsmanship.

+1 on KSP, I have headers + exhaust and they are great quality!

That is sad to hear indeed.

I rather enjoy my NA2 manifolds/headers, test pipe, and Taitec GTLW combination.
