The Hytech replica seems best bang for buck at the moment going on the chat on the US forums.

Some UK companies do them like VTEC Direct (I think its them?). Solid Fabrications also make their own version.

Edit - I think the Solid Fab made one was originally £550. Its still alot cheaper than a Mugen or Fujitsubo etc...

Is the tri-y replica better than the mugen header then?

Open for debate. It may be better when you look at bhp increase per £ spent. I have bever looked into it but there may be differences in the rev range where one makes more power over the other.

Ok, I have a mugen mani at the moment which i was thinking of changing to a tri-y at some point. If you take bang per £ out of the equation then I'm probably better off with the mugen buy the sounds of it.

Silghtly off topic, have you dug out the bumper yet? ;)

Nice one :)

I'm getting a workshop sorted over the next couple weeks and looking to get a grant for the setup costs of the equipment :rock:

Good old welsh government
