So I have yet to find a in depth thread covering Skunk2's Alpha Series V2 B-Series Header installation, thoughts, etc. anywhere on the internet.... so within the week I am going to be installing the piece and updating this thread with details so that others can be informed with what to expect after buying the headers (or any headers in general). Also, if anyone has any information, feel free to post it into this thread because it will help me and others a ton. I really don't know what to expect because I have read through so many different threads all talking about different problems or details relating to the V1 and V2 headers that I don't know which to believe. So basically this thread will go over everything you need to know about installing the Skunk2 Alpha Series B-Series V2 Headers. (feel free to sticky this post if it actually becomes something worth reading)
First I'll start with the unboxing because (even on Skunk2's website) I could not find a list of what actually comes with the package.
This is everything included in the package, in the first picture you can see a box containing bubble wrap and cardboard to protect the contents.
This is the header itself, as you can see there is a free to move flange on the collector end that bolts to the cat/test pipe. The welds are pretty good quality and look clean/strong. There is also an inlet for the o2 sensor that comes with a bolt to cover the inlet in case you are removing the sensor.
Here you can see the donut gasket and flange for connecting the header to your cat/test pipe. The gasket fits well into the flange and seems as if it would provide a sufficient seal when tightened.
That is all I can say about the pieces themselves, next (I have already began doing this) I will install the header and update the thread with any problems, notes, or concerns that I come across. If you are wondering I am installing this on a 1999 Acura Integra LS with Invidia 2.5in Test Pipe and Yonaka Cat-back exhaust.
