Are chikara headers any good?

Well im about to order one from summit for 120 bucks.I was wondering if any of you guys have used these heaDERS and what were your guys experience with them.

Header...not headers. We have an inline 4 cylinder, only one header, not a set. I don't know how well they work, try searching. I'm guessing you get what you pay for but who knows. Let us know how it works when u get it.

he could've meant plural as in this line of headers...

like "have you tried Chikara's headers?"

but yes, on our cars its singular and header. I really like the chikara torkstep version.. if anything, i would get it seeing as how it is a lot cheaper than a DC normal header and it is stepped with that equalizer tube..

Yeah he could of...oh well. No harm meant for it, was just saying cuz i figured someone would have said that. I'm sure their not that had of a header, i mean for only 120 for a header its a good deal. Like i said...let us know how it is when/if u get it.

I had a chikara header. For the price I think they're pretty good, nice mid-range, decent top end improvement. That was the cheap one, not the torque step.

Chikara(hedman hedders) is a decent header for the $$$$. Thats the most i'd spend on a header, I mean c'mon what the difference between that one & DC? A whole 2HP possibly. . .

...and an extra 200-300 dollars depending on ceramic coated or stainless steel.

i'd go for the $189 tork step header if i was you.

It has features that make it worth $200, and although i've had very very good experience with the DC header line, I think a tork step would be better

I have a set painted with 1500F paint. there nice just gotta install them. Mine are the tork step.

Are any of these CA smog legal?

i've heard the chikara's are, summit sells them and says there are 50 state legal. i know they dont have the carb # on em (melt had one) but i've heard they coem with a sticker you would put on the bottom of your hood.

huh... interesting thanks!

maybe after the MPFI if i still have the energy i'll look into that

I have the cheap ass Chikara. It does the job. It comes unpainted so I sprayed it with some high temp flat black. Seemed to do ok. It hasn't rusted up real bad or anything. It's ok until I can afford a better header.

im on my 2nd chikara...i see no problem with them.

noticeable power gain, emmisions legal, good fitment.

why the fuck should i pay $200 more just so my header can say "dc sports" on it? doesnt matter..b/c all headers end up looking the same after 6 months anyways. i had my first one wrapped with thermal tape, but this one i left as-is...i plan on 86'ing it when the turbo goes in.


go for the basic chikara...you cant beat the price.
