So here's my little pile that's been building up over the last few months. The J's Racing header with X-Force cat, RBC intake manifold (thankyou Justin :wave: ) and P2R thermal intake gasket.
This should all be going on soon and I'll dyno it soon after. I guess I'm hoping for around 125-130kw but we'll see :p

nice dude can't wait to see the results!
btw how much was the x-force cat?
nice Mr L, beautiful header you got there. Too bad its not a direct bolt on....
and yeh can see it bends slightly up so no wonder it would hit the chassis.....
Usually $180 but I got it bundled with a K&N panel so it ended up being about $160. I mean cats and mufflers are all basically the same thing at the end of the day, would prefer a mediocre cat if it means I can afford better headers :pQuote:

what are you running catback?
Gonna run a straight 2.5" pipe to the split for the time being. Eventually get the split done properly and run it to either the stock mufflers or some nicer ones. I could always go for an aftermarket 2.5" catback but with the current exchange rate it's cheaper to go full-custom and there's probably more power :DQuote:

Yeah Ben reckons if you extend the o2 sensor wire it will make it. Also the guy is gonna weld a bung into each end of the cat and we're gonna see which bung the sensor will take to and not bring up CEL warning.Quote:

hey i think its better to add flexi pipe on ur header :) help to reduce the vibration on the engine bay area
if the hooking bracket is in the right position and installed properly with slight modifications there won't be any need for it.Quote:

My theory might be wrong, but I think 1 flex pipe further down the exhaust wouldn't hinder flow as much as 2 flex pipes so close to the beginning of the exhaust.Quote:

Where you going to mount the guitar hero in the car? :p
guitar hero is going to be his new steering wheel control..... :p
J's racing is meant to be a racing header, hence no flexpipe. :)Quote:

You don't need one, but if you don't have stiffer engine mounts, I would use a flexpipe in order to avoid cracking the welds when the engine rocks under acceleration.Quote:
