Default New header for my Accord

I just installed this beauty on my car. Just wanted show off a few pictures...

I took the car out for a test drive and it feels good, but I killed an altenator and was running off the battery while driving Randy around. Voltage dropped to nearly dead, so this morning I put a new alt on and this thing feels killer. I will do some dyno tuning real soon.

hmmm... interesting design. Not something I would use, but it's different.
How does it sound though?

+1. Granted it's better than the oem but won't get a better result as the others, ie - DC.

Are you kidding? Not better than the DC header? DUDE, do some research before you embarrass yourself.

Why wouldn't you use it?

Cheap knock off of what? Does anybody in the Accord section have any clue about performance here? Not really knocking anybody, but I am sad for you guys here... maybe I can help you out a little. I mean this respectfully so please don't think I am trying to be an ass. These headers are made by RMF which have been on all of the fastest all motor cars around... such as Erick's Racing, Leslie Durst, Bisi... just to name a few. The header make an easy 20whp over DC and even makes more power than my previous SMSP header.
This particular header is designed for my specific engine set-up (stroker), but the look is almost identicle to the "production" run RMF headers. The production run headers actually make 15-20 whp over DC. I will post a dyno, but I feel that it would be meaningless because it seems like there is little understanding or interest in NA performance in this forum.

The production run h22 headers go for About $850... mine was custom, so pricing is totally different. They do all kinds of turbo manifold work as well.

Looks cheaply made. I bet all those bends make it perform less than a DC header. You claim 20Wheel hp, but have no proof. Obvioulsy you are a noob to this site and others as I have seen your pitiful attempts to spread this all over the net. No wonder cashmoney says you are a fool. Better off selling that piece and get yourself a dc header.
