Weapon R Header (Prototype)
This Weapon R header already have the s pipe... it is a complete header. No CEL problem... so no antifouler, no O2 sim card, and no wider diameter s pipe.
Expensive? Yes, I know, but it is a complete product, no mixtures.
Worry about the dirty unions? It is a prototype.
Here you can see the pictures and dyno with the Weapon R Intake...

Weapon R's website makes me nervous. They speak a lot of physics that sounds more like they just read them in a book and thought they fit in the paragraph well. Especially on their CAI section. Their explanation of using a homeade flow bench because it was better than the ones everyone else uses raised some questions for me too.
As far as a $1000 header... no way. I wouldnt spend that much money unless that was the only thing else I could improve performance wise. And then I would pay a good exhaust man to design and build one for me.

it is not a $1000 header... it is $800.
If you expend $1720 for a full cat back and a CAI, why not expend $1000 in a Header and Intake when both have been proved to be better than others brands in the same category? also you have $720 to extras to buy a good exhaust and spark plugs cables. that's a better way to expend your $1720, and where you can expect more power gain.

I believe Weapon R is basing this header design on a hyrbrid tri-y design used on most race headers for honda B-series motors. In the past, it was generally known that 4-1 honda headers was good for low rpm power whereas 4-2-1 headers were better for top end (or the other way around, I don't remember). The hybrid tri-y design overcame these restrictions with longer secondaries to provide the power over the whole powerband, not just peak horsepower. I assume it should apply well for our engines, but we will only know with dynos done by someone outside the Weapon R company.
