Part: Greddy 4-2-1 SS (Stainless Steel)
Vehicle: 1993 Honda Prelude VTEC (4th generation)
Price: $300-400 (normally pricey at places but search around)
Install: Fairly Easy , allthough the prelude isnt the easiest car to work on. Great Fitment.
Availability: Sometimes goes in and out of stock so beware for backorders from greddy.
Compatibility: They only make this for the 4g prelude. But many people have gotten it to fit the 5g.
Review:
I got this header when it first came out from greddy. Ordered their first one I believe. I got it based on seeing it in a magazine when it first came out. I could pretty much tell from the pictures this design was slightly better than the DC and the primaries were slightly larger.
Upon recieving the product I was very happy with its quality. Fitment was great. Allthough the Prelude has a heat shield for the accessories that sometimes gets in the way. Some simple banging of that metal , helped move it over some too allow more room.
Upon driving the vehicle. I could immediatly tell there was an increase in output. Top-End power was increased greatly. (as I would have thought a larger diameter pipe would perform). Got into an accident. Dented the header , once things were fixed. Ran great times.
The header also turns some amazing colors once you break it in. Nice purple and golds. Be careful about finger prints.
Times:
Went to the track. I had run a 14.9 , with a DC DAC intake from an accord that had to be modified to fit over the larger TB bore. With the greddy header installed. I Pulled a 14.59.
LongTerm Review:
Now after owning the header for a good 6 years. I can report that there is no rust , no major problems...and this is after giving it a good wack when It was first installed. The only trouble that I have come across is the bracket broke and the flex pipe cracked.
Both easily repaired/replaced. I also believe this is due to the initial wreck and not connecting the bracket to the chassis.
A good preventitive measure would be to weld the header bracket that connects to the chassis slightly more on the weld area. This will help strengthen that connection.
