Please call or email us to place a special order.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n The goal with any performance header design, is to get exhaust gases to flow out of the engine faster and more efficiently, which in turn will produce more power and performance. The K-Tuned RSX Header was designed with this exact theory in mind and utilizes a proven 4-2-1 Tri-Y design with extremely smooth slip fit merge transitions to increase the exhaust flow and power output of the Honda K engine. Like most Tri-Y designs, power gains are seen almost everywhere in the power band, not just the top end. Fitment is equally if not more important to us than function and although the subrame and swaybar on the RSX presented some design challanges, the final fitment was definitely worth some extra time. The secondary tubing passes perfectly through this tight area with extra clearance for engine movement.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n The header features stepped piping beginning with 44mm primaries that progressively move into 48mm, then 50mm secondaries and finally a 64mm or 2.5î exit. Our 409 Series RSX Race Header is assembled with mandrel bent, 409 series steel tubing and is fully tig welded. We also use a slightly thicker gauge tubing that allows for better weld penetration and additional strength. The CNC cut 3\/8\" thick flanges are also double welded and then ported for optimum flow at entry and exit. This header directly replaces the OEM 2 piece design and eliminates the catalytic converter so we included a short 2.5\" test-pipe with defouler for the secondary O2 sensor. Be sure to check out our 3\" Oval Tube Exhaust System for the RSX if you haven't seen it already.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eWHY CHOOSE 409 STEEL?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n After evaluating the price driven exhaust parts market and seeing some of our products copied using very low quality, thin gauge Asian mystery material, we decided it was time to make a move. K-Tuned 409 Series Headers are made with raw 409 series steel which will offer customers a cost savings with no sacrifice to performance and fitment. We wanted to maintain a high level of quality because our stainless headers have had a good reputation for several years now. Our 409 Series Headers are exactly like our stainless steel headers, we only changed the material to save our customers a few dollars. The raw steel finish can be high heat coated or painted to resist rust or left as they are to let nature have its way. These headers are intended for use on simpler street cars that are more about function rather than looks and to be honest some hoods are only opened when needed.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n The exhaust parts market is filled with a lot of knock-offs, misinformation and deception. We aren't going to bring company names into this conversation, but some of these replica producing companies are currently selling exhaust products that are said to be X material when in fact the material is not even close to what they say it is. Not all the fault lies on the reseller because there is a lot of mystery material coming out of Asian manufacturing. What some advertise as 304 stainless has been found to actually be 200 series. Another cheat we have seen is cutting down the wall thickness of the piping to cut the cost. The problem with using a thinner gauge material is it weakens the product and can cause premature cracking. We have seen piping advertised as 16 gauge, end up measuring as 18 or even 20 in some cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/body\u003e","published_at":"2017-08-25T13:45:28-07:00","created_at":"2017-08-25T13:45:29-07:00","vendor":"VEX Motorsports","type":"Header","tags":["Acura"],"price":48900,"price_min":48900,"price_max":48900,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":61125,"compare_at_price_min":61125,"compare_at_price_max":61125,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44657534664,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"KRH-RSX-409","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"K-TUNED 409 SERIES RACE HEADER FOR 2002-2006 ACURA RSX TYPE S","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":48900,"weight":6804,"compare_at_price":61125,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/vexms.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/s-l1600_0001.jpg?v=1676681939"],"featured_image":"\/\/vexms.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/s-l1600_0001.jpg?v=1676681939","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":27909785747614,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.512,"height":529,"width":800,"src":"\/\/vexms.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/s-l1600_0001.jpg?v=1676681939"},"aspect_ratio":1.512,"height":529,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/vexms.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/s-l1600_0001.jpg?v=1676681939","width":800}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cbody\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eApplications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct bolt-on for all 02-06 RSX Type-S.

Please call or email us to place a special order.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n The goal with any performance header design, is to get exhaust gases to flow out of the engine faster and more efficiently, which in turn will produce more power and performance. The K-Tuned RSX Header was designed with this exact theory in mind and utilizes a proven 4-2-1 Tri-Y design with extremely smooth slip fit merge transitions to increase the exhaust flow and power output of the Honda K engine. Like most Tri-Y designs, power gains are seen almost everywhere in the power band, not just the top end. Fitment is equally if not more important to us than function and although the subrame and swaybar on the RSX presented some design challanges, the final fitment was definitely worth some extra time. The secondary tubing passes perfectly through this tight area with extra clearance for engine movement.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n The header features stepped piping beginning with 44mm primaries that progressively move into 48mm, then 50mm secondaries and finally a 64mm or 2.5î exit. Our 409 Series RSX Race Header is assembled with mandrel bent, 409 series steel tubing and is fully tig welded. We also use a slightly thicker gauge tubing that allows for better weld penetration and additional strength. The CNC cut 3\/8\" thick flanges are also double welded and then ported for optimum flow at entry and exit. This header directly replaces the OEM 2 piece design and eliminates the catalytic converter so we included a short 2.5\" test-pipe with defouler for the secondary O2 sensor. Be sure to check out our 3\" Oval Tube Exhaust System for the RSX if you haven't seen it already.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cstrong\u003eWHY CHOOSE 409 STEEL?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n After evaluating the price driven exhaust parts market and seeing some of our products copied using very low quality, thin gauge Asian mystery material, we decided it was time to make a move. K-Tuned 409 Series Headers are made with raw 409 series steel which will offer customers a cost savings with no sacrifice to performance and fitment. We wanted to maintain a high level of quality because our stainless headers have had a good reputation for several years now. Our 409 Series Headers are exactly like our stainless steel headers, we only changed the material to save our customers a few dollars. The raw steel finish can be high heat coated or painted to resist rust or left as they are to let nature have its way. These headers are intended for use on simpler street cars that are more about function rather than looks and to be honest some hoods are only opened when needed.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n The exhaust parts market is filled with a lot of knock-offs, misinformation and deception. We aren't going to bring company names into this conversation, but some of these replica producing companies are currently selling exhaust products that are said to be X material when in fact the material is not even close to what they say it is. Not all the fault lies on the reseller because there is a lot of mystery material coming out of Asian manufacturing. What some advertise as 304 stainless has been found to actually be 200 series.
