Headers

Naum16 · 04-26-2013, 12:08 AM

i think ill be looking around FI thanks guys. Could i ask who installed them for you and how diffcult is it

Naum16 · 04-26-2013, 12:09 AM

The only headers i see for FI are the long tube are they any good for the price

I have FI LTH's, and love them.

I installed the headers myself. Being an old ASE Cert Master Tech.The right takes about 2hrs tops to remove the old manifold and install the header.

The left side is a major PITA. Figure 6+ hrs. This is for any header you install. You have to remove a heat shield from the stock manifold. This heat shield will make you look for a gun and start chewing on the end of it. Once it's off, things start to go easier. Clearance for your hands is TIGHT! After you are done. Your hands will look like they have been in a fight with a very pissed off putty cat and LOST!

Those are insanely beautiful... however in the Z you wouldn't really be able to see them as much as I'd like.... =(

Well thanks to youtube i was able to hear how the long tube headers sound and by far its such a good quality sound. I wouldnt mind to try it with one of my budies that is very good and knows exactly what he's doing but idk if i should put him threw this hard work lol. Is it something thats do able for first timers. Or Where would be my options to take it in at. I live near Chicago but im not looking to pay way over my head for an install. Talking about tight theres so much limited space putting my big *** hands down there will be like bobbing for an apple.

Have you put it on a Dyno What kinds of numbers are you running to the wheels (rwhp)

If it's not something you've done before, it's not impossible, but it would probably be better left to having a shop do it.

There are the PPE and Fast Intentions Header threads that will have all of that information for you. As well as several independent reviews in the Intake/Exhaust section of the Tech Area.

Thanks Chris and Rusty

I believe our headers run about $6500 for a set.

Shortys, or long tubes? Gains over stock, other headers?

Titanium to justify cost?

OP going off what you originally said. You wanted an expensive set of headers yet don't want to pay alot for labor...

Something wrong here....

Are you looking to pay for proven performance or just buy expensive headers just to say you have expensive headers? Because in our engine bay you can't see the headers for crap...
