will headers for a v6 honda like accord or civic or acura cl/tl fit our cars the only problem i see is there is only one O2 sensor but thats an easy fix. I have a few links of some on ebay or look up v6 honda headers

try from an V6 accord, a civic has 4 cylinders when a legend has 6

The V6 accord with the C27 has just as much aftermarket as we do.

bout the 3.0

 

[sam o nela]

J series dude...most likely different mounting points and header angle.....

 

[88_acro]

damn i thought i had something

 

[acuralegend_racer]

Does anyone know any companies that will make a customed header for the Legend?? Ive tried searching but nada...

 

[88_acro]

find a local shop it will be cheaper and easier

i found somthing a little interesting while tearing down a c27a, its not headers but should give you better flow.. If you look at the inside of the front stock header its significantly less exhaust flow inside due to the fact there is a seperate chamber inside for the EGR and AIV, i'd say just by looking atleast 20% smaller, I guess this is why Honda made the back header take a more restricted path to the exhaust pipe to make up for this difference. You should be able to throw pick another one up at a junk yard and throw it on the front after disabling the EGR and AIV and run a Y pipe between the 2 to equal out the flow. Also replace all the exhaust piping, its alot smaller on the inside than it looks from the outside, its triple layered.

hmm.. interesting.. so.. your also saying that with a new exhuast system I can also achieve better flow?? Logical... How much gain approximately??

 

[88_acro]

didnt cigarette say he was going to do that in another thread have you done it yet

 

[cigarettcancerman]

nope, havent done it yet, just finally got my engine back together and running today, it took a while since its been so cold and raining here latley... ill be getting the manifold in about a week, but im not putting it on untill i get some more funds for all the precat piping. it should definetley work though, i'd say atleast 5hp maybe 20 considering how restricted ours is but who knows? i'm pretty sure it will help out more than a expensive catback system. i'm not getting it dyno'd or anything so just crawl under your car and take a look at what i'm talking about and you'll have a good idea of whats going on.

just remember, i think you gota do custom piping to do this, i dont think the rear exhaust manifold will line up with the front ones pipe, i think the rear one is a bit shorter but i havent really compared them, i just know it will fit the head.

 

[88_acro]

yah i know what piece your talking about i hope it works

 

[cigarettcancerman]

everything should work out fine, the only thing is making sure both down pipes have the same resistance to keep her idling smooth

 

[89HondaLegend]

I have just been thinking about the heads. If you take the head off the back and put it on the front won't it be back to front? BEcause your exhaust outlet is going to be back to front. Also if you turn it around then the pulley of rthe cam is on the wrong side.

hes not taking the head of but the manifold, it should work fine

 

[89HondaLegend]

No worries, silly me
Hope it works.

Just go custom headers with a point to put 2 low mount turbos :2cool: neer the tranny.

 

[88_acro]

Why does everyone want to go turbo? If that is your plan you purchased the wrong car! This IS a luxuray car if you want to turbo an acura go with an integra they have premade kits for cheap and you can make more horse.

 

[Jarryd]

Yeah but its totaly unexpected when a luxury car can smoke ricers at the lights. and once you have a taste of power from the legned you will always want more, because it feels so good to drive.
