Don't thread jack, but ramhorns cost more, so I'd say that they flow better for sure. Just depends on if your going for all out whp race car, or just want some boost to play with. Cause I'm on a budget, and I'm puttin one on a daily driver, so cheap is the way for me.

the manifold was cheap..thats why i got it..plus the other one i have would call for a little block shaving..and i didnt want to do that..get on grandma's good side-maybe she will leave you the crx in her will :P

Why does everybody keep whining about the couplers? They look like couplers, and he has tbolts. This is HMT. I like the setup though, bet it's a lot of fun.

EDIT: Word "nice" removed.

Seems like its coming along nice udaredme. I have JDM b16a also, will start my project toward the end of winter. What type of exhaust manifold are you using? I would assume USDM manifold wont work. I had to swap out my header gasket recently and bought one for b16a2 since it was in stock, but the bolt pattern on my head was to wide and the holes looked a bit bigger. After i waited 3 days for the JDM header gasket to come in it fit like a charm. Same with you car? Let me know and keep it up!

P.S if you dont mind could you PM me your setup? Intrested to see what everyone is running on their b16 especially if its JDM nonsence

i'm confused...im running turbo..so im not running the factory exhaust manifold..so hell if i know what gasket it takes..i never changed the gasket during the short time i had the factory header on it..the 99-00 civic si header/gasket should work. BTW..my setup is on the first page of this thread.
