As far as performance goes I've heard J's Racing wrapped header is great but Im not sure about bang for buck.

rmano · 10-01-2009, 01:03 AM

is it up to par with toda and mugen in quality?? also i read the wr header might be weak anyone have heard of it cracking??

For one thing, its a race header that deletes cat and can only be paired up with either J's header-back exhaust or a custom exhaust system. The quality of J's racing is far above comptech and WR. JDM, son. its performance is also superior, but I will wait for evertp1 to come and share more with u.

The J's header, it is definitely worth EVERY cent. People like TSX_WS know I have the J's header and header back. Like he mentioned, the exhaust is a racing only exhaust. It is not made to have a cat, and there is no flex pipe or resonator etc etc whatsoever, and the muffler is pointless.

Comparisons (Thanks to HeelToe Auto for prices)

K20 header's
J's Racing CL7 Euro R Stainless Header $1,160.25

Spoon Sports 4-2 Exhaust Manifold $1,160.25

Toda Exhaust Manifold $1,890.00

Type-1 Racing Header $915.00

Ive mentioned before that I gained 21WHP after adding the J's exhaust. OK this mod is one of the most definite noticeable performance gains and power that i can feel out if it. I personally know people with Toda and Mugen headers and yes they had low end gains, but top end the cars felt like it had a stock header on. The J's header gives you power all throughout the power band. When driving on the highway and trying to overtake people, you wouldn't have to downshift from 6th. You can feel power all the way from 2000 -7600RPM. When VTEC hits, you wouldnt notice it because the RPM would go up so fast. Also, the J's exhaust is lighter than the Toda exhaust. I highly recommend J's for weight loss, and power adding.

Spoon is mad expensive compared to anything. 4 grand for coilovers...........

evertp1 · 10-03-2009, 04:37 PM

A lot of people buy these 'baller' parts for bragging rights. I wanted more power but didnt want to spend 4 grand on a single part. The Exhaust was good enough, I would never buy the J's intake, hood, bumper or diffuser. I want spoon coilovers but I they never posted the spring rates and they don't reply to emails.

You get what you pay for, and buy what you can afford.
