J's Racing Header

[s2kjn]

Hi Guys,

I've got my Greddy Ti-c exhaust, and am waiting for my PWJDM intake to arrive within the next couple of days. So, to complete my fair share of splurging, I'm looking for a decent header.

S2ki recommends the J's after the Hytech header - but I can't remember if I read somewhere if it was compatible with RHD's...

Anyways, I'd be pretty happy with the J's from a few Dyno graphs posted up on s2ki, so was wondering what your thoughts are - especially those who own one - and so this attach to the cat converter??

Thanks

J's header will fit RHD cars. J's is deisgned in Japan which are RHD. I know of two people who ran this header here.

It will attach to the cat converter, but you should run a test pipe or a hi flow cat for more gains, otherwise you're just defeating the purpose of an exhaust setup.

[s2kjn]

Sorry I should have been more clear - I thought I read that the Hytech wasn't compatible.

Was thinking bout TP & HFC's, but aren't they illegal?? Don't wanna invest little and get caught to pay massive $$$

[STAiN MASTER]

Test pipes are illegal, HFC's arn't. I used to run a berk 70mm.

[s2kjn]

Did you find it any good? $ ? will that fit well with both ends from the header and exhaust?

[s2kjn]

Sorry for all the questions mate, just trying to get the whole picture before the purchase. Thanks for your help

[STAiN MASTER]

Yes it will fit both ends. HFC's are 80% flow over the stock cat which is 40% flow. Definetly noticable at the top end of the rev range. about $300 from memory.

[s2kjn]

Would any HFC for the s2k fit my kinda setup then? (I'm assuming they are one standard length and the same flange brackets)

[STAiN MASTER]

You will have two size thickness generally a 63mm and 70mm (id go 70mm), if its designed for the s2k then all of them should be the same length and same flange size.

[s2kjn]

Ahh ok, I know that was an obvious question, but I have no idea on the practical side of this yet. Thanks so much for your help mate.

Have run a tp for over 2-3 yrs now.

[s2kjn]

Yeah but your car's to fast to get caught anyway!

[revolution]

Hytech doesn't fit RHD. It hit's the steering rack.

[DC2-PWR]

Yeah but your car's to fast to get caught anyway!

Just have a tp that looks identical to the real one, should be fine.

sorry for giving illegal advice, but you understand :).

good luck,

Yea hytech does not fit rhd ;( js racing tp has brackets for stock heatshield if your scared. Ive run a tp for nealy 2yrs now as well. Js header ftww

[s2kjn]

Wowww I really wanna get a tp noww! but then again im in Sydney NSW where the coppers are absolute....dare I say lol.

Yes vyets it is so ;( that hytech can't fit the RHD considering its slightly more expensive than the j's, but with our dollar high, feck it would b good to get one! ps how hard was it to instal the j's anyway??

[vyets]

hytech is alot more expensive once you calculate shipping into it, and you also have to get their hytech cat/test pipe because the header is longer then the standard dimensions so a stock cat cannot be used.

Apparently it hits the steering rack so it won't clear as well.

Test pipe is bad for environment :)

[s2kjn]

Lol then sell me your tp!

[vyets]

my TP is sold I'm now running a J's 70RR it's a straight pipe so no TP needed lol

Buy this

What bout this:

Is this an HFC or TP??

[ludecrs]

I'ma go with HFC because it has a (small) resonator.
TP are usually just a straight pipe.

Hey Vyets,

N1 concepts on s2ki said that the stock heatshield cannot be used with the j's header. How did you get around this?

[vyets]

you don't need it just heat wrap it if u are really that paro

[s2kjn]

Not paro, just asking since J's also made a thermo wrap header.

[s2kjn]

I installed it over the long weekend and definately agree with u here, this header is AWESOME!!!!!!!

[dlai5552]

Complement your J's racing headers with my J's racing catback lol?
I'll make a swap.

btw, I heard these headers are amazing from a former s2ker. added noticeable mid range power in junction with an aftermarket intake such as injen :)
