XForce Headers

**djgarv** · 07-03-2005 03:07 AM

Saw some XForce headers for the DC2 VTiR...for $395

Just wondering what ppl's opinions are? Waste of money? Good value? Spend a bit more for something else? I don't know how much other brands cost and whether there's a huge dfference so any knowledge would be helpful

Ok bought a set for $350 and honestly they aint worht shit, they do gain power from them however they do not fit straight up to your car. The legnth is all wrong and the angle of the flange to the cat is also wrong. And the bracket that bolts up to the original headers is in teh wrong spot aswell. So unless you want to spend money modifying the rest of your exhaust to fit the headers i would not touch them. They are actually an american brand called OBX and they just put the Xfocrce sticker over the OBX printing on the box lol. Do yourself a favour and try and chase down some Edelbrock ceramic coated headers, they are a little more pricey but bolt up no problems and the ceramic coating does wonders for eng bay temps.

come on mate..someone source u the wrong header
as Xforce have 3 different header for B series engine
if u said yours is shorter and not long enough
i am pretty sure someone give u the H9498 for your VTIR
they should give u H9293 instead as that was for some rare USDM mate!
go and have a look at your box if u still keep it...
i have H9293 for my teggy and they FIT 100%

i just brought some x-force headers off someone off these boards.... he had it on his dc2r and i put them on my 94 dc2 vtir and they fit straight on... bolt up.. paid $150 and fitted for $100 ...

so all up $250 and it's on my car... gives my car a rex type rumble... sounds probably more like a rex then most wrx's!! LOL :P but top end it gains a little bit from the stock ones......

fair enough...i was really just wondering abt the quality of them and whether it was worth the money

thanks for all the input

Honestly if you can source out some ITR headers i would rather spend my money on them then xforce.

**djgarv** · 08-03-2005 12:27 AM

so they'd fit directly? but yeah i guess i'd probably have to join the queue

Thank god my car came with Jackson racing extractors! I would say save some more and get something better! but one of the guys said the Xforce extractors it didn't fitt on his car all that well? I have Installed the same brand extractors to my bro's STI and there were no problems! but I would still save up and get something better..

I have XForce headers on my ITR and I don't mind them. For what I paid for, I am quite happy. I cannot justify spending another $1000 to get Toda headers and gain another 5kw at the wheels at most.
