I thought about punching a 11 year old, does that make me low?

I'm assuming you have an EF with a B-series swap? Since you stated crossmember issues. A traction bar will elimante that problem and also give you more room to work with. I can't begin to tell you how many headers I have crushed the runners on, hell I even broke the welds off the flange from the head once.

I'd suggest going onto Honda-tech in the EF section and just start searching. I had a header that didn't hang way low but this was a while ago and I cant remember what brand/style it was for the life of me. I got tired of crushing them, so I eventually just got a ITR header for clearance and due to the fact it actually flowed better than alot of the Ebay and DC sports I had haha.

Yeah it says 91 sedan w/ a ls in the first post.
I'm not at all worried about the crossmember... I have used traction bars on my other swapped efs but this is my daily and its a non-issue. I searched H-T before I made this thread. I guess I should make one over there too.

Sorry, I didn't really read. Just saw pop up pictures and shit haha.

i would recommend a 4-2-1 header. I think it would give you a bit more clearance.

its all good... maybe i should put up a shot of the car for the picture people...

edit: pic added just for you lol

i have an ebay one now but its not any higher then the DC sport one im using...
do you have any specific one in mind? or are you running one now thats tucked in higher?

custom headers dude. or take the two piece you already have, and cut the flange and reweld it pushing the downpipe up as much as possible.

~Josh

We may have to do that(by we I mean you lol) if I don't find something else. I'll have to look for it anyways.

ha I figured that. how high can you raise the engine and trans? that should really help

~Josh

i dont know if you remember but i had raised it between 3/8s and 1/2 with washers on the red hatch, the white crx, the black hatch and the black crx; but the webbing was cut out on all of those... and i was never this low with them either...

~Josh

anyone have any pictures of how tight their header hugs the oil pan?
