Question about headers on ebay - 7/1/2008 6:44:35 PM    pwrhouss   Posts: 8 Joined: 6/26/2008 Status: offline I am new to the Honda world and saw this header on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA-ACCORD-EX-L4-94-95-96-97-4-2-1-STAINLESS-HEADER_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33631QQihZ021QQitemZ310062110243QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW for my 95 Accord. This seems like a pretty good price for a stainless header in the world of parts.  Just wondering are these things worth a crap or are they legitimate.  I am used to working on chevy V8s where a good set of headers run $350-$550.  If these are not the best, what type of header is everyone else using.  Thanks for the input Post #: 1

RE: Question about headers on ebay - 7/5/2008 12:40:21 PM    ford   Posts: 176 Joined: 4/28/2008 Status: offline heat wrap is a cloth like material that you wrap around the thing that you want..for example you can use that to wrap the headers beacuse headers gets hot, so when you wrap that it lowers the temp inside the engine bay..another example is wrapping your aftermarket intake system with heat wrap, that way it stays much cooler inside the engine bay...and thus giving you more denser air..  i think i saw one on ebay..forgot how much it costs...but i went to autozone and they also have that..and i think they were $65-$80 somthing... _____________________________ 1994 Honda Accord Ex Leather -F22B1 I4 SOHC VTEC -Automatic Transmission -Ebay Cat Back Exhaust System (in reply to logan) Post #: 11

RE: Question about headers on ebay - 7/8/2008 7:46:05 AM    falkore24 Posts: 4355 Joined: 8/16/2007 From: Wayne, NJ Status: offline ^^^  It''s woven fiberglass.   I did it to my headers .... eventually it fell apart from the heat.  I wrapped and coated it with high temp paint/coating.  It''s not worth the headache and getting fiberglass all over yourself.  Also, on the intake, the insulation can help the heat soak your intake, so that defeats its purpose. _____________________________ ''06 Scion TC Short Shifter radiator panel fully lit 3rd brake light 4pt rear bar sways S-pipe pulley poly bushings poly mounts ETD air horns pending strut bar ''00 V6-AT (RIP 3G) Pics in gallery (in reply to 03Sleeper) Post #: 13
