I just finished this with some Pride headers and man did it wake the car up. It went from feeling peppy, but not quite quick, to feeling like a legit sports car. And paired with the Endura Lite exhaust, it now sounds like one, too. The install is no joke, though. Get everything out of the way: A/C compressor and bracket, drop the front beam of the rear sub-frame....
I've had these headers on my NA2 97 for 23 years and 50,000 miles. They are great. I bought them through Greenwich Acura in Connecticut . Naturally the installation was super easy because the headers came with everything and I just watched. The important thing to know is they have been trouble-free, and I've just had the car on the dyno it had been back in 2006 and it pulled 320 at the flywheel. Let me add I had Greenwich install comtech headers earlier. Looking forward to your future videos on this soon.
Really looking forward to the powder coating of the headers. I have heard aftermarket headers really shorten the life of CV boots on these cars. I have aftermarket headers with at least 1 torn boot on my NA2 I have to address before spring.
I am sorry to hear that. It is something I did not consider but I can see how the heat would take a toll on the rubber parts. I also want to see if I can make some sort of heat shield. Still in the white board phase.
These cars are known to go through CV boots regardless but the aftermarket headers create a lot of heat that reduces their life even more according to Prime. I hope you can come up with a solution and thanks for sharing.
so far one of the best mod you could do on a NSX
So "proud" of mines ;)
Good to hear!!!

Nice! Thanks for the heads up on the install. Reading about now and sounds more complicated than I hoped for.
Thanks for the shout out! I’m interested to see what you do with the heat shields. Maybe some NASA gold foil if you want to go crazy! Haha
Of course! I was just lucky to have the right shirt too. I think some gold tape would might do the trick. 🤘🏽
Very cool! Loved this one, keep up the great work!
Thank you!!!

Awesome! Good to hear from someone else that they are great. I am excited to get them on the car. Need to get those adapters.
I have these same header and along with high flow cats now im getting a CEL.
oh snap, do you know why the CEL came on?
🏎
🤘❤😀

So you’re going to keep stock muffler. Correct?
I have a Tubi exhaust already. I removed the OEM exhaust a long time ago.+
Jet hot coatings is the only way to go when it comes to keeping underhood temps down
I have not heard of that but will look into it. I hear nothing but great things about Cerekote as well.
Extractors = Reduced low end torque for city driving?
Not so much in the case, easy 15-30hp with the mod. But with a tune, I am sure you can get more.
Cerekote and heat shields will be the hot ticket. Pardon the pun. But it will be a smart move.
hahah love puns! Thanks, Jim.
