Too many pieces welded..Bad for rust and cracks :roll: Especially if you live in seaside areas with tons of sea salt and mud. Does this come with a ceramic coating?

You can get it coated at specialised companies otherwise...

I can not even believe you can say such a thing :roll: .If you don't know what you're talking about please don't make statements like that...
It's stainless steel i can't rust, and there is a ceramic coating available .

Bisimoto v2 header is the there is for us D-serie tuners, I'm also waiting on my call (they already have all the information of my setup).
You should look al onecamonly.com for more dyno sheets of different engines with that header :)

I know what i am talking about. There are several types of stainless steel. Unless he is using some of the finest types there is always the risk of rust, at least at the outer part of it. I have seen many quality headers done that. Imagine using your car everyday in snowy roads full of salt and mud, or driving in rainy conditions near a sea.. Unless you are willing to dryclean your shiny header twice a week then we must be sure..
Is wrapping recommended?

HondaNickx, Saxophonias is right.

Other than full inox, most brands use aluminox, which corrodes. Also, exhaust manifolds tend to crack near soldiers, when they do crack.

But I don't argue that they might be the best thing to power output on hole powerband.

This is a B-Series engine. As the Exhaust Manifold shape isn't ordinary, it is likely that it interferes with A/C Radiator, or P/S pump.

Thank you !

If you're worried about rust you should get the ceramic coating.Never use header wrap,it keeps moist in the wrap.Bisimoto doesn't sell crappy parts , when he says it's stainless steel it isn't "ebay stainless steel" it's 304 stainless.
If your still not convinced you should get another header ,something more street friendly ,this still is a race header.I have bought a electric PS pump just so i could install this header ,you gotta make some sacrifises...

Exactly..Someone should be aware of the sacrifices that he has to make when buying parts especially expensive ones! There are always pros and cons i think.
Don't get me wrong, i acknowledge the value and integrity of Bisimoto, this is why i admire his effort, but posing questions is legitimate. And this is why we are here ;)

If you want, make a topic on the electric steering you are referring! It's very interesting.

Electric steering pump certainly catches my eye as well.

And talking about sacrifices... I just installed an tri-Y header to my B16B.
Oke it runs perfect now... but some cutting and welding was needed. Phew.

And that header looks much more civilised compared to Bisi...
