B16A Exhaust Header Upgrades

It was Monday, my company 'gives' us a day leave. So, I went to exhaust shop to do some upgrade. It's been long since I didn't upgrade my ride. Hehe.. :)

This shop recommended by Vincent (a fast VTEC driver). Haha. He just upgraded his extractor. He got himself a 4-1 extractor. Wow..getting more HP now. Hehe..;)

I went to the same shop and asked for a 4-1 extractor for my ride. The boss showed me a stainless steel 4-1. Damn nice and pretty. As I wanted to say yes, put it on...he said that my ride not so suitable to fit this in. It will make my ride more sluggish. My ride is B16A auto. Then he recommended to use 4-2-1 with a 2" piping plus a bullet. The previous owner had used a smaller piping and normal bullet.

So, the full package is 4-2-1 plus 2" piping and an Apexi Motorsport bullet (stainless steel wool, can withstand 1000C). I wonder if there is an Apexi Motorsport...hmm? The brand is not the point, it is the quality that matters the most. Hehe :)

stainless steel 4-1...not for me :(


4-2-1...for me now :P


muffler? no..it's a center bullet..;)


Apexi Motorsport? Hehe..1000C


dismantling everything...hehe


done..for the 4-2-1 only


I forgot to take picture of the whole set after done. Sorry..but I'll add in later. Hehe..:)

I will update on the performance and 'feel' after these upgrades. But it's only in my point of view. Hehe ;P
