headers

hi i was wondering are there any headers besides the jp performance ones? i think those are a little too expensive. i was wondering they claimed 30 whp. thats a lot for just headers and y-pipe. id understand maybe 10-15 whp but 30 is hard to believe. i was looking for headers around 500 ish. or if anyone actually got the jp headers do they really give 30 whp? thx for the info in advance

I believe that the 30 HP included a different cat back system as well.

no wonder they charge so much...they are the only ones...hmmm...does anyone know how much time that 30 whp will knock of the 1/4 mile run...or if you will feel a difference? do you guys think its worth the $1600 or should i get shocks, rims and tires instead?

i'd go for the shocks/springs/rims, but thats me. i already have a 5spd and dont feel the need to go faster right now, i'd rather handle better.

the test was also done w/ a supercharged 5spd, so im not sure what the numbers would be on a stock auto or 5spd w/out SC

hey dailo,

if you'd searched on the board, you might have come across the header project being headed up by a company called Xerd.

we're all still waiting for the finished product, and supposedly it'll be cheaper than the jp headers.

The 30fwhp was also acheived with a 5.5psi pulley and some great dynotuning

by **dailo** » Fri May 30, 2003 6:55 pm

yup ive searched and saw the topic xerd but from what the topic says hes not done...also i have a 5 spd with supercharger and 5.5 psi pulley, denso irridium spark plugs, custom catback exhaust, injen intake, trd lowering springs and a shortshifter. i also have an s-afc sitting in my room waiting till i get off my lazy butt to go get it dynotuned. yea i think ill go for the tokico struts instead.
this is off topic...but do u guys recommend getting 17" rims? i have the stock 16" rims and was wondering if i just upgrade the tires and leave stock rims will that be good? also...does anyone know how good the trd rear sway bar is?

o yea...and thx to all who helped me =)

trd rsb is a great addition to suspension upgrade. i didnt think it was gonna be as big of a diff. but it was. i have tokico/eibach/trd rsb and im loving it. and w/ the 18x8 rims i feel like im stuck to the ground
