WOw .. looks really good.. ALL stainless steel.. although there does seem to be at least a couple of areas that are NOT highly polished.. but oh well no biggie.. the Welds are "sturdy" looking but I would not call them "neat".. I went ahead and ordered a new exhaust manifold gasket, and the "donut" type gasket that goes between the cat and the downpipe... I am getting it put in on saturday.. along witha new O2 sensor.. so we'll see what kinda "butt dyno" numbers We get!

Excellent choice, and unlike other Stainless headers, "DC" the flanges won't rust. At least none that I have seen. Mine stayed nice and purple/gold for as long as I had it.

My stock replacement collector to cat gasket (o-ring) didn't fit on my Greddy header...so right now I'm running a gasketless connection between the collector and cat....wtf

Dr. James. do you know of anything that will clean the header? I didn't clean it with alcohol after installing and I can see fingerprints.

Try using CLR the calcium lime and rust remover its worked on tonnes of my friends stainless headers

Hey Mike,

I am getting it put on Saturday, and I am real friendly with the shop that is gonna do the work, so I'll see what's up... YOu are not the first person to tell me that the honda OEM donut gasket does not fit... so we'll see.. it was only like 3 bux from manhonda.. DO you have any problems with exhaust leaks from where the gasket is supposed to be??

THanks,
andres
