headers

Postby NRDriver » Sun Dec 31, 2006 4:49 pm

i doubt anyone has the unless they are the megan headers. they look nice and are cheap. i would buy them if i had the money. i wonder if the y pipe comes with the setup. if so, then its seems that they are a bit toooo cheap

They say that they are dyno tested, but I do not see any results on the listing...unless the gains are proven, I couldn't justify the money or the labor to install them.

I have a set, not installed yet, but they seem quality to me. The welds are good but im no expert on the thickness of the steel used so I cant say about that area but i know the welds look decent. I will be installing them soon and everything looks fine so far.

the back is a little hard, but if you can do the rest you can probably do it no problem. Its a matter of trying to manuver the part around with limited space. Also I had trouble when trying to take off the manifold in the front of the car because one bolt in the corner is tough to get out without the right comnbinations of extensions and sockets. Other than that the only thing that can make it difficult is rusty bolts.

It looks to me like the exhaust from the rear pipe still has to make a 180 degree turn with these headers just like our stock exhaust pipes. Seems to me that if you want to get the most out of the header system you would neet to change the direction of the rear pipe to have a smoother flow into the main pipe going into the cat and muffler. Have the rear exhaust go into a "y" pipe like some people are doing with their stock exhaust system. Otherwise I don't see any advantage to spending the money on these pipes especially with no dyno printout.

The rear pipe on my stock system goes into a "y" pipe I had made at a muffler shop and really works well.

exactly why I was thinking...why buy an oem replacement, cause without proven dyno results, these headers/pipe are worthless, IMHO.

I emailed the seller a few Q's, and this is the response:

hi,

the pictures shows all parts included in the package. we do not have dyno info, only factory has it. its importanted directly from asia factory which makes alot of stainless steel header. so it will be no brand.

Having any question, simply email and let us know.
thank you
