oh no, lol, this brings up an arguement i had with my friend the other day.....now i can see why peeps would call it 'header' cause of only one set of um...but i see it as...you got more than one piston, so each pipe comin off your exhaust thingy... ...is one 'header' so the bunch of um (four of them together on one side of the engine) is a set of headers.....get me? lol, i know that didn't make sense, but work with me

Its not riced. A true definition of rice, in its simplest form is basically: one who tries to make their ride look good using cheap-o, or low quality products. Or it could mean, an unfortunate car that has been bashed by the bad taste of its owner (ie, the McDonalds car. Red + yellow dont mix.)

rice... huge wheels, huge ugly bodykit, neons, strobes, vinal decals on the side, that dumb looking suicide trunk, altezzas..... looks like painted interior pieces... it may be done more right that some cars but its still rice, those are the cars i laugh at.

it looks OK. Nothing Special. If it were a show car then i could understand but it really dosent look much like a show car since they dont have that many mods to it. I dont particularly like the wheels and i downright hate the graphics. But it all depends if they are gonna use that as a show car or not to whether it is rice or not. Got me?

yea, but by riced out, i'm refering to the fact its all show no go. i guess we all have our own definition for rice, or riced out.

i've seen a mid 80's mercury with one

there is not one definition for rice, it's all personal opinions. in that case, i think that car is ricey. i don't like the wheels, tails, body kit, or the graphics.

Okay, forget the car.. WTF are you talking about here?

Your car only have 1 exhaust manifold/Header plain and simple.. What do the pistons have to do with "Headers" I completely didnt understand what you were trying to say.. You been drinkin again boyee..

I think he thinks that each pipe coming off of the cylinders is called a header. Of course he's just making crap up so he doesn't admit he was wrong.

Opak, you have one header, a header is the whole piping assembly, also called an exhuast manifold. you could use this equation for hondas: 4 cylinders = 1 header.

its okay to admit you're wrong, but not okay to make up a line of bs, only to be drilled even harder.

header=exaust manifold

its just a common term for an aftermarket exaust manifold. generally its one exaust manifold per head

there is this person that works at sonic here that drives a dark red grand prix with a huge ass wing

then there is this green 240sx with a big wing a farty tip and some graphics on the side

then there is this red Civic LX with an SiR sticker on it, so i think those are pretty riced out. Even for small town Mississippi
