Mugen Header... Real or Fake? Worth, Fitment?
I found a local "Mugen" header for sale for a decent price but wanted to post some pictures to see what you guys think.
The facts: Has mugen stamped on one of the runners, has a 2 1/4 collector, doesn't have jasma stamped anywhere but i think since it has a 2 1/4 collector then it is a usdm mugen header, so there wouldn't be a jasma stamp. Doesn't have an engine code stamped near the collector as i've seen several mugen headers do. Do you think its real?
*Also, if you think its real how much do you think its worth? And what motor does it appear to be made for? The seller says it came off of a b18c, so will i have any problems running it on a b16a? Thanks a bunch.

Re: (LaosGuySi)
I had Mugen Si header on my 1999 Si and if I’m not mistaken it had the Mugen and JASMA stamp on it.
Also, that header with the 2.25 collector is not worth the $$$, even if it was new. I could not tell a difference between my Mugen header and my old 4-2-1 DC header; both that the same size collector. Save your money and get a header with a 2.5” collector.

Same goes for most of almost all of their headers

The 4-2-1 Header actually does quite well, performing as well as the Toda Header from my experience. The 4-1 not so much but its also a very old design thats been around for about 10 years now. (Before the JDM 98 ITR even came with a 4-1)

Even if the exhaust bottlenecks a little bit, I still think you'd benefit from a 2.5. I'd go with something else, unless you're getting an insanely good deal and can resell it to some JDM zombie for some good cash.
