exhaust headers from ebay - 3/27/2007 3:02:48 AM    trukid21 Posts: 171 Joined: 5/16/2006 Status: offline  i purchased a s/s headers from ebay for about a total of $67 bucks.my plan is to use a heat wrap or something like that to keep it cool because they heat up pretty good.  my question is what kind/brand of wrap should i use? and should i purchase a better gasket( ie mr.gasket to replace to ones that come with the headers) and use locktite on the bolts to keep them from losing its torque.? thanks for any advice and opinions. _____________________________ 96'''''''' accord f22b1 vtec 5 sp m/t aem sri, 234,621 miles eibach prokit/kyb shocks ngk iridiumIX plugs and plug wires magnaflow straight flow muffler 2-1/4" custom catback piping front strut bar/rear tiebar Post #: 1

I couldn't find that brand on e-bay and it appears to be a style more than a brand name..... got a link to the auction you won so we can see the product? _____________________________ 1981 Civic Station Wagon - ROhnda (Really Old Honda) 1981 Honda CB650 Motorcylce - WHEE What More can I say? 2000 Lexus RX 300 - Oooh baby my wife let me drive it once!!

First it reduces that amount of heat other parts are exposed to, and in most honda's since the radiator is righ tin front of the headears, the less heat it's exposed to the better cooling it will do. Also heat is good for exhaust flow. addign heat wrap will retain that heat in the exhaust system. as we all know with 4 stroke engines, if you slowed it down enough you'd see that the exhaust flow isn't constant, it comes in pulses. The more heat is in the exhaust gases, the more pressure it will have. Now since the only place for it to go is out the back, the more pressure the greater total flow. Also with the design of 4-1 or 4-2-1 headers, the exahust gases from one pulse from one cylinder 'draws' the gases from another. this is because behing the gas pulse, there is a small negative pressure wave that in a basic sense 'sucks' the next pulse along. Greater pressures and higher flow cause more of a negative pressure wave, so the next pulse is pulled along even more. Now of course there is a limit to the benefits of greater flow, too much pressure in too little space will cause the gas to essentially back up on itself. _____________________________ 1992 Accord EX massively modifed H22A 2.5L stroker kit GT35R turbo @ 24psi 459 whp 404 ft-lbs torque (in reply to sir_nasty) Post #: 7
