Hello
I will made a custom exhaust manifold + 3 " cat back
It is about 4-2-1 exhaust manifold
I'm interested in the size of the aftermarket header as Toda
If someone can tell me the lengths of the pipes?

You may have a hard time getting this info regarding toda specifically but there is more than enough info on header building around the web. It's a fun project and I wish you luck.

Then we will improvise ... :)

I've watched too many of the videos that Summit Racing has put up on YouTube, this should help you get started on your custom primaries. Good luck!

Here is what we managed to do.

Looks great, but since you were building a full system, you could have doubled the length of all the primaries.

The workmanship looks excellent.

Is it loud?

Not very loud ... but it is still 3 ''
There is great improvement in torque at low revs and in Vtec accelerates much more.

Very nice do you have a sound clip?
I see is connecting directly to the header, so no test pipe or HFC?

So all pipes of the exhaust have 3 inches?
Is that a middle silencer there after the header?

And one more question, if the header has the collector of 2.5 inches why the exhaust pipe is larger than 2.5 inches and not the same size like the collector?
Is there any benefit going larger in the exhaust pipes, I mean larger than the header collector?
(I'm just trying to understand the engineering behind this)

I do not have sound clip but will record soon.
After the exhaust manifold has a flexible exhaust connector ,then is resonator muffler.
After the collector to Y pipe was 3 " and then goes to 2 x 2.5"
Exhaust manifold is narrowed to 2.5 "to accelerate the exhaust gas and then out of 3"

looks good, have dyno results yet? before/after
Unfortunately not ...
I will have dyno results after installation of all things(KTuner ECU, RSX-S Clutch kit + lightweight flywheel, TL-S TB, UR pulleys, thermal gasket, 50 VTC , K20 oil pump )
Still looking for 06-08 intake cams

Very nice job on the header, sounds great too!
would u ever be interested in making another for sale? looking for options besides getting a new Comp or DC sports
Talk with user littlebo he makes headers for our k24, I have one from him. He sold to other users too.
Keep in mind you may want to include some sort of flex joint having a completely rigid connection between header and exhaust is asking for trouble.
