hey whats up guys, i was recently given some chakira(sp) two-piece headers, and i was wondering what your guys thoughts on them were? and also, after installing the headers, they dont seem to sit right(the bottom part of the header seems to sit at an angle)ill take a pic if you want me too. thanks alot

 

i think you mean chikara. i had one. they rust and look like ---- but i guess for the price they do there job

 

Chikara is Hedman's import line. Hedman headers are pretty popular in domestic circles. I've never owned a set myself so I can't attest for their quality or anything. I have an OBX stainless header on my car right now and it's decent for $100. DC sports is dyno proven to be one of the best headers for D series, but for $400 for the stainless, why bother. I only have about $500 into my homemadeturbo setup. lets see 3-6 hp or 60-80? difficult choice. Unless you're supercharged, if that's the case, Kamikazee is the only way to fly.

 

i got the obx, ****** is leaking somewhere

 

over-all,im not happy at all with my headers. they somehow seemed to push my exhaust back, and now its making all these weird noises and HITTING the bottom of my car...btw, this is an after market cat-back exhaust, it sounds nice gunning it...but when im driving...negative

 

You cant go wrong with a DC header.My next one will be a log manni

 

dude no doubt, dc is the ----...but i got mine for free, so im not sweatin the $400 price tag the dc carries

 

i have a dc sport header for my b series and i got it for 100 bucks.
headman headers are really good for domestic's so i don' tknow if their import line is as good but...
also some after market headers are diffrent lengths so the exhuast might not exactly line up

 

i had a chikara header on my integra, and noticed some nice midrange torque with it, i also installed a cat back exhaust at the same time, so i noticed some nice gains. my opinion = they are worth the money, if i had to again, i would buy one for 180 as opposed to the 400+ dc :P oh yeah, they don't look that nice though, but you could prolly recoat them with some high temp paint......
