did weapon r ever fix the rubbing issues on their race header?

solbrothers · #5 (**permalink**) 02-16-2009, 10:36 PM

or the leaking issues?

GD3_Wagoon · #6 (**permalink**) 02-16-2009, 11:36 PM

or the clearance issues?

Some comments from an owner on those problems here, apparently no issues on recent versions.

I got some new photos of mine, it just came in today.

It is a one piece unit now.

My suggestion is staying away from this header.
Revised or not.

The header is best mounted on a wall in your garage.

I might get this header if i get the KW s/c

Hope you also got a Cat-Back to go with this!!

Let us know if it made a difference and if you had to tune it!

Marko!!

I have a full 50S exhuast system from T1R, there is no stock exhuast parts on my car anymore

Although suddenly getting my hands on tuning equipment is turning out to be very expensive

problematic or not, that's a sexy race header.

Let us know how that revised race header works out for you! Looks good.

Sugarphreak · #16 (**permalink**) 02-18-2009, 10:06 PM

Will do, WR has addressed a lot of the complaints regarding leaking and fitment with this latest header. I will be doing a full review on how the install went and performance differences between this one and the T1R response header I run now.

I am having an additional bung added to it this weekend. Maybe install the following weekend, looking for a dyno date in mid to late March after my lightweight wheels come in.

Thats why I said it looks best on a wall.

And the revised one one leak, theres no way it can unless the flanges are warped.
Mine leaked because it was a 2 piece slip-over design.

SHG_Mike basically made his just like the revised header. His still hit the swaybar.

When I had mine the only thing I liked were the gains. The car was damn quick.
Id rather not drive my Fit leaking exhaust, rattling, and rubbing for those gains.

Close it never hit the sway it just hit the rack... but didnt hit anything after i cut and welded it back together. It just still leaked like a mofo and was annoying as hell.

Id be interested as to how you will install that header in one peice, you will probably have to lower the subframe, just some for warning.

With my IM... i didnt really notice much loss when i went back to stock honestly. I eventually will get a shorty header.

I have a panel of Honda experts helping me out on this install

if we run into any issues during install I will make sure to post them up.

It's like a nightmare that keeps coming back.....
