Alrite i found a Honda Accord Ractive Short Ram Air Intake on ebay.
i was wondering if ractive is a decent brand. i searched the forums and came up with no answers. Does anyone have experience with ractive? good investment or a load of crap?

 

They make a middle of the line type of product, if it's fairly inexpensive I'd say go for it but the one I'd look for is just a Bomz SRI (short ram intake) and then buy an AEM or K&N air filter for it.

 

and for the headers i read obx are good performance for the price right?

 

Correct on the OBX. 19Accord97 did a write up on them. Just do a search for "OBX headers" and you should find them. Megan headers are also supposed to be good quality for the price.
Any cheap ebay intake should be OK as long as you throw away the filter that comes with it and buy a good quality one (Apexi, AEM, K&N, etc..)

 

The important thing to remember with headers is that you need to re-torque the bolts about once or twice a week for the first month or two, also, I'd suggest getting an aftermarket high quality exhaust gasket instead of the one they provide. This will ensure that you have a good consistent seal and don't develope a leak

 

I like the OBX products also, they are not high priced but seem to be put together well..

x2 on OBX ...... SN's point is valid in some cases yet I've never had to re-torque my headers and they've never given me a problem .... been on for about 3 years already.

Re-torque is something to keep in mind, but not a major concern.
