It's not only the same length, but a SPECIFIC same length.

The above post is not based on sound logic at all. Speculation and guesswork don't define reality. Physics and math are part of something called "science" that is part of a set of rules our world exists by. Read up on it sometime...

Anyone on here in a position where they would be able to fabricate and tune some headers for the K8? Be a good way to make some coin, and i bet it would make a LOT of people happy. Just a thought.

Please tell me how a S10 and MX-3 can be compared. Are all headers created equal?
David Coleman
I used to know alot about MX-3's, but not so much anymore. Oh well.

Cost for a REAL (ie, good) header would be prohibative to most people here anyway, which is why you don't see them on the market much.<p>FWIW, SMSP GOOD headers for Hondas run ~1200-1500 bucks.

hotshot headers will not fit without being cut which in turn detunes them and that can be even worse than having your stock headers installed.
