ASP Headers, LLC is the first to fabricate the naturally aspirated hood exit header for the Honda Civic EK K-Swap. This launched a frenzy in the competitive world of drag racing as drivers pushed to brake into the 10's. Despite the 2008 - 2012 global recession, the shop could not keep up with customer demand and a decision was made to discontinue the Nissan Infiniti product line, as well as the mild steel variations previously offered. The result meant that inventory could be cut in half allowing for retail prices to stabilize. Research and development could be honed in on Honda, Acura's most recent rage, the K20, K24 engine swaps.
