what aftermarket header are you guys using?
share and compare please :angel:
Comptech.It's SS.Cost me $500 2nd hand+$150 for install.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
DC headers - Ceramic 4-2-1 - Cost $400 approximating as i bought UR pulley with them.
Cant compare besides with stock, find it farely easy to accelerate/redline more easily, it doesnt have that sluggish feel and delay anymore. Once you change it you will feel a noticeable difference.
In my opinion i just wanted a bang for buck mod.
P.M EuroAccord13 and see what he says in technical words about the DC headers as he had it installed years ago, unless he replies to this beforehand.
Hope this helps.
Ebay Topspeed Stainless steel ones. $350 AUD landed. Fitted myself and have had zero issues also. Decent increase.
Bent leaking header. Installed it myself. Noisy, loss of performance....
Forgot to add.Engine is more willing to rev to redline and is more responsive through the rev range.Definitely money well spent.Quote:

anyone got toda?
euro R header?
Secret details. But it is something that I wouldn't recommend to others. LOL. I got it because it was cheap. Now I am too ashamed to mention which header it is. :)Quote:

better. As you get what you pay for....DC headers does the job but if you want good stuff go toda or maxim but you would be paying a bit more than twice as much than DC.

toda seem to have good gains, and personally would be my preference but i would hesitate to say that at over $1300 they have good bang for your buck.
i have TODA... cost AUD$1500 to my doorstep...Quote:

i think it worth it.
$1500 for 10kw lol .. none the less pretty impressive gains for a header
Thats with a mugen airbox, but impressive for NA.
you should see the damage maxim works headers do to your wallet if you think that's expensiveQuote:

I've got Comptech headers with stock cat back exhaust and have noticed a marginal increase in noise.Quote:

(IMHO i think it's mainly from the hi flow cat itself but changing headers as tony1234 said would have marginal noise increase)
My header ( topspeed) hardly increased noise. Slight raspy rumble. Any Aftermarket Intake will be louder.
Im getting a hi flow cat but am worried about additional noise.
no doubt that the noise will increase by how much not sure.Quote:

With my header, I get a ringing sound. Did you get that with the top speed header? I think I might have a leak..Quote:

im impressed
must have deep pockets hooyn.
If i had pockets that deep they would contain the keys to a 350z or s2000 not a euro :)
i think my next car will be an evo for a family car.
only sports car that can fit a family (just).
sorry to go off topic.
350z +1
with hi flow cat noticably louder exhaust... you get a nice flexi pipe hiss from the TODAs.... i like the sound... but atm with my setup and RBC intake i get annoying resonant hum at 2,500rpm... trying to change exhaust nowQuote:

Take the Toda, I had it dyno tested and it made gains across the powerband.
You could have gotten a 2000/01 S2000 for about the same price as a new Euro. :)Quote:

your next job suntzu turbo your euro.
yeh give it time but then, increase of noise = psychological increase of power.
did you want increase of noise or not?
Hate to burst your bubble... I like MagnaFlow but is your one a Ceremic or Metal one? Got a model number?...Quote:

whats the supercat metal cat? looked on site briefly and i just assume they make some of magnaflows cats? i duno
whats a model number for a good magnaflow cat for the euro
cheers haha
Any cat that is not ceremic packed is better if you are after good performance. it is less restrictive and can carry higher temperature before breaking down.
As for Magnaflow, I would say model 91004M Cat would be good enough.
I got the Todas on mine and I love them. Very well made and definate improvement to the vehicle. But yes...a little pricey.
oo e-gene may i ask how your fujitsubo sounds now that u got header n hiflo cat?
