Bang for buck, Xforce.

[baoanh]

lol alot of people tell me is not even worth changing my header T_T so gay cause i already have S12 Xforce twinlop and cold air intake, i just wanna complete my set T_T

Both are good. N*Power has received great reviews here on the forums and XForce too, but I've only used the latter.

For $140 N*Power are pretty damned cheap, brand new. XForce you can get for $399 new & delivered from Race Nation in the trader section.

As for performance comparisons I don't know what's better but I honestly think on a D-series you should go the N*Power. They're considerably cheaper and the gains you'll get with either header will be very small or hardly noticeable at all. The best thing about an after market header on a D-series is that it looks good and it's going to save you some weight because the stock header is heavy as.


And especially since you've already done cat-back and CAI then it's definitely worth doing header IMO (and a hi-flow cat). So I definitely recommend the N*Power.

thanks man i'm not sure about cat back LOL i beleive i still ahv a resonator between it HAHA so u rekon a high flow cat and N*poer header will help out?

[baoanh]

some people told me that if i get N*Power header, i need to give it to other people to install it, i cant install it myself because they need to cut and fit is that true? O_o

[TheSaint]

no - i installed n*power header in 1hour at home - was piss easy and got a massive torque increase with stock exhaust system

i have seen brackets on x-force headers snap off easily - i would either get a name brand like 5zigen etc or juss get the N*power ones - easy to install and incredible bang for buck

N*power are great headers for its price. On my car now, I have not noticed any gains. Only thing I noticed is it made the motor sounds more crisps (not rough, crisps) and when I full throttle, it gave a nice sound completed with my cat back and lukey exhaust. $150 posted to your door is pretty awesome as well! And like it was said on the previous post, it'll look heaps good :)

Thesaint: damn one hour? Haha what took you so long? Only took me 15mins max!

[na-118]

hey jdmEG5 your exhaust sounds sick man,

[baoanh]

even on EJ8, is perfect fit? i don't need to cut it anything? just plug and play?

[mugen_ctr]

go n-power for d-series, dont go wasting money on something that can do the same for half the price :)

[TheSaint]

i noticed a massive torque gain - every engine is different i suppose lol

and yes it bolts right up

Don't want to hijack thread, but if I was to buy Xforce headers how will they perform if I decide to turbo the car at a later date? Just asking because I know that the twinloop exhaust can restrict the turbo, so just wonderring if I'm willin to spend the money to turbo charge my car should I fork out the money and get a more highly regarded set of headers?

[jdmEG5]

^just wait till you get your turbo done imo. For time being, just use any cheap headers.

As for my self in regards to the thread, I've installed n*power header onto a d16y4, not much gains, just sounds more crisps, kind of like churping? I too also installed on a d15b7, same results, just churping..

I've probably just reas this wrong, but you do realise that if you decide to turbocharge your car, you won't actually have headers?

You will need a turbo manifold, something entirely different.

[act_gooner]

Nah you read it right. I know nothing about turbocharging a car. Looks like I might aswel get something simple then. :)
