PLEASE READ, HP Racing Header/w high flow cat FOR CHEAP.
 
To all the Civic 2001 owners who interested in HP racing header. I had a deal from a seller which is willing to give the price we want (THIS IS NOT A LIE) for HP racing header w/high flow cat chrome/ceramic for our 2001 Civic, but they need a lot of buyers to participate. If we are in, I was thinking to ask the dealer for reasonable price for $250.00 shipped. If you have any suggestion on price (how much we would pay for), let me know so I can talk to them to set the price since they said they will eats any price. NEED YOUR RESPONSES in order to get a good deal on this header.

VanDizKo 02-19-2002 12:51 PM

Any suggestions we might get the price even better, like discount maybe? Need your suggestion to get even better deal, guys because they said "they will eat any price".

01blackCVC 02-19-2002 12:52 PM

That's a good deal. Do we get a choice of either chrome or ceramic for the $250? Keep us posted.

CivicVTec 02-19-2002 12:53 PM

i dont need any suggestion ... I"M IN BABY:eek:

VanDizKo 02-19-2002 12:56 PM

Okay, it seems like everyone think $250.00 shipped is the good deal. I'll go head let them know if they can offer us that price, so stay tune and I will let you guys know.

CivicVTec 02-19-2002 01:00 PM

trevor 02-19-2002 01:02 PM

avenger 02-19-2002 01:44 PM

$250!!! Barring any problems with install, i think i'll be in. If you can go lower, thats better

rhyno 02-19-2002 01:46 PM

yeah, throw something a little lower at them and see what you can do. just set a roof on 250 shipped. try 200 or 225 first.

VanDizKo 02-19-2002 01:50 PM

Okay, good news guys:tup::tup::tup:. Here an updated. I just talk to them and they said, "hello, it fits the fits all the ex models. 2dr 4 dr it makes no difference. it also fits the others like the lx. let us now how many you are going to purchase and we can cut your group a deal. we have 49 of them in stock. let us know how many you need and we can cut a deal. let us know. thank you"
So, who wants to join, quickly email me at vandizko@hotmail.com
Give me your info: Your name, car model, header finish chrome/ceramic????
Guys, we need a quick response to close this deal. After I got the number of buyers, I'll let them know and we start to place order, alright?

I am trying to do this quick because I want to own this HP header myself (WHO WOULDN'T WANT 10 PONNIES GAINED), so that' why I want us to close this deal quick beause this is a good deal. Peace [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

SQCivic 02-19-2002 02:47 PM

What about the fit problem? Altering motor mounts? geez

avenger 02-19-2002 03:07 PM

arg I want in but I want to know about the fit

RSXtypeIvtec 02-19-2002 03:19 PM

im definitly in!!
but lower also sounds a lot better please!! me poor!

thundercats4ever 02-19-2002 03:23 PM

I was on the idea that it doesn't fit on the lx/dx, only on the ex.

delacampos 02-19-2002 03:26 PM

the company that wants to sell these is CR-eVerything, right? don't these sell for $275 regular price? $225 shipped... i'd be in.

RSXtypeIvtec 02-19-2002 03:27 PM

yea actually, 225 or 230 shipped sounds a lot better

Pir8pete 02-19-2002 04:22 PM

I'm in for that $250 :)

Turtle 02-19-2002 04:35 PM

These wont fit the LX/DX cause the cat would hit the sway bar. I have looked at many of these cars at work and thats how it is. If you have a LX/DX, try looking at an aftermarket EX sway bar, or even buying a stock EX one.

I wish I could say put me down for one, but the funds are lacking hard right now.

CivicVTec 02-19-2002 04:46 PM

i'm in and U HAVE GOT MAIL

black 02-19-2002 04:53 PM

DROP THE PRICE, tell them you have 20 people interested for 150.. 180 shipped.. I could get a dc header NIB a block away from me for 150... however if this header is better.. try giving them that price, battle that saleman with DC as your main point in competition. Good job by the way on keeping this scoop updated. :tup: [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

So off to battle the saleman, make him eat it!! :)

PerfectD3 02-19-2002 05:17 PM

A header is worth 10 ponies? For real, or is this someone's butt dyno? I am in if it fits, and if the horsepower claim is true!

speed werx 02-19-2002 05:33 PM

hey lets try to get that price down to round 200 shipped if we have some people buying!!! ill be in for less than $250

1028CiViC 02-19-2002 05:34 PM

i wish these fit my car.

black 02-19-2002 05:38 PM

180!!!!! shipping included... BTW is this stainless steel or ceramic? And which is better for HOT humid weather? :susp:

1028CiViC 02-19-2002 05:40 PM

this is a really good f u k i n g deal but too bad doesn't fit my car :cry:

VanDizKo 02-19-2002 05:42 PM

Thank you for all your responses:tup::tup::tup:. I am still waiting for more info from the seller to make sure they offered us a good deal. This is the price terms I asked them to offered us, (I think it is reasonable). I'll let you guys know when they made an agreement. Other than that, they gave us $250.00 shipped for sure.
5-10 buyers = $250.00 shipped
10-15 buyers = $235.00 shipped
15-20+ buyers = $215.00 shipped
To answer about the fitment of the header. I don't have any knowledge as much as you guys do, but no matter what I'll make sure to get the header fit my car. You can do a search on HP racing header or ask CivicEX questions about the header because he owned one. Other than that, I will try to make sure we have an agreement with the seller that if they won't fit, they will refund our money because they said it fits all 2001 Civic model. I'll keep you updated, alright!!! SO, STAY COOL [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

black 02-19-2002 05:45 PM

30 people = !! $180 w/shipping :)

okay nigguh? :susp:

RSXtypeIvtec 02-19-2002 05:46 PM

ok, lets shoot for th 15-20 buyers!!!
cause some peeps are poor like me!

GreenVenom 02-19-2002 06:46 PM

silvervtec01 02-19-2002 07:42 PM

some of you guys are pretty brave.....or dumb. think about it...if u have to cut the motor mount, then ur automatically putting yourself at fault for anything to happen in the future! plus, why dont you wait a little longer until other companies design a header in which you dont have to sacrifice the physical integrity of your ride???! unless this header is selling for $150 including shipping, im holdin out for a better company! goodluck to all of you who do this!

black 02-19-2002 07:58 PM

Amen!! silvertek :tup:

Why don't you start a group buy auction on www.groupbuycenter.com ?? It would make this so much easier, and then you wouldn't be limiting yourself to this site...

black 02-20-2002 08:21 AM

It would not make this easier at all.. first of all, not many people attend those group buy deals due to the stupid security for one to simply become a member [like if hackers are gonna really harrass and torture there economy, lol], then alone no one ever visits that site, as I used to go on it alot to search for deals... but nada.. . so :tdown:

On the other hand hitting the message boards and chat rooms and spamming mail is the best way to go! :tup:
But no pain no gain . :susp:

RSXtypeIvtec 02-20-2002 09:00 AM

i agree with you black, that sites not really all that, and its so hard to find products off there site.
and hardly anyone ever goes to that site anymore, at least i dont anymore...its ghay!!!

ALLMAN 02-20-2002 01:08 PM

I'm in as well guys!!!...and as for the motor mount...from what I've gathered..it is not a load bearing motor mount. Although, i haven't put my eyes on the mount itself to confirm....but I am trusting the member who put it own....so the motor mount just might be a lateral stabilizer....plus the modification to the mount was minimal...according to him..PEACE!

trickedoutcivic 02-20-2002 01:30 PM

The Hp Header I was sent for the 2001 civic ex doesnt bolt right in. If you call Hp theyll tell you it does and that is a load of crap. You have to remove the front motor mount to and the air compressor heat shield to get it in the engine bay to bolt in and then the motor mount wont go back unless you cut part of it off. Once you cut the motor mount it will go back in but then you only have 2 bolts holding the front of the motor in place instead of the standard three from the factory. Also, After my installation was complete I started the car and it vibrated like crazy. The header pipe was touching the motor mount bracket. I had to take it to a muffler shop and the guy had to cut out a small piece of that bracket so it didnt touch the header pipe. I still have much more noticeable vibration at Idle than normal, I think that is from cutting the motor mount. All in all I was pleased with the added power but as far as being a huge gain I dont think it was. Compared to the DC header it should be big. I'm not trying to scare you away from buying this but you should know what your getting into. Everyone will tell you it fits with no problem but thats cause they either havent installed one or like HP just dont care.

Could the header have been heated up and bent in some way to avoid having to mess with the engine mount?

AEMcivic 02-20-2002 04:45 PM

Hey trickedout,

What kind of car do you have, lx, ex? And what kind of transmission?
My local shop installed this header and hi-flow cat on a 2k1 last weekend and they didn't have to modify anything.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just called that bastard again and now he says that they had to cut a v-angle in the front crossmember.
Sorry about that guys. BTW, it was an EX auto just incase you wanted to know.

Oh, one question.....Does HP make a stainless steel header? I could use more bling bling under the hood, but I don't want chrome headers.

black 02-20-2002 05:31 PM



<< Could the header have been heated up and bent in some way to avoid having to mess with the engine mount? >>


I totally agree with Mbow... they should simply make a reciprocal dent on the headers str8 down part, thus no cutting required.. cause man.. only two bolts holding the engine in place does not sound good to me AT ALL! :shake:
Why would anyone cut that out simply to install some products, you GOTS to be crazy, your whole engine bay's enginered to exact specifications and tested hecticly before it's let out to the cow, and YOU ALL KNOW they still have recalls.. so WHY weaken the freakin mainframe in the engine bay?

Anyways, I wanted to give a shout out to whoever posted the DIY links for NOS. :tup:
May GOD bless thee for real! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

edit: crowd, not cow, hehe sorry, I was thinking of this cow. :susp:

CIVIC808 02-20-2002 10:12 PM

I'm in. You've got mail.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

SQCivic 02-20-2002 11:02 PM

I don't get it. Why are people jumping in on this when you have to make such major detrimental alterations to the car? What is so special about these headers?

uicmedruss 02-21-2002 12:24 AM

Hmmmmmmmm....you know, this sounded like a great deal until I read a couple pages into this thread... for those of you going through with this, I sure hope you know what you are getting into! Sounds like a serious pain in the [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] to me!

TYPE7RS 02-22-2002 05:56 AM

$250:eek: Count me in too![IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

But now that I've read into this a bit more, it sounds to be a little more hassle than what it's worth. I drive a ex 5-spd, think that will make a difference?
