Recommended headers

Nismo16 · 07-05-2017, 08:24 PM

New to the imports. I have a 16 nismo gonna stay na for a while so which header would you guys recommend.

Welcome to the board.. where in FL are you?

As per your question - I think FI Long Tube Headers are highly regarded... but I also know that there isn't a ton to be gained with headers since the OEM manifolds are tubular and already quite efficient.

Gainesville. Thanks for the reply that's what I have been seeing longtube or nothing basically

Choices are FI, PPE, or the Z1 shorty. These are 3 of the best for making power. If you are planning to change the headers yourself. The right takes about 1 hour if you are slow. The left side will take you about 6 hours of cussing. Been there, done that.

In that case, I would have to recommend the Stillen headers as I have heard the fit can be kind of iffy. =) Hope we can finally get some payback against you guys this year.

Stay away from the Stillen headers. They are no better then the stock manifolds.

Nismo16 · 07-05-2017, 08:41 PM

Yeah this z1 look good but they are out of stock right now which sucks ***. I'm bout to order stillen gen3s as well once I do that and the headers what should I buy to get the car tuned. On my 5.0 I had a handheld that had tunes is this the same

LTH's, cbe, and cai with a good tune should net you around 320hp at the wheels. Choices on tuning is UpRev and Ecutek. Ecutek seems to the better one for now.

Motordyne has a new header which, if it produces gains over the stock headers, looks to be a very slick setup. The headers are "modular" and you can easily swap in either test pipes, cats, or their test pipes with helmholtz resonators.

I am one of few that went MD route, the build is of high quality, and the sound with Helmholtz res is awesome, also made great gain by the word of my tuner compared to other Zs he had tuned specially the torque gained. I think I need to dyno the car with one of my friends the same day, he installed Gen3, FI LTH and HKS Hi power to check power difference.

Doing a dyno now would not be helpful...
Only way to get true reading to see what gains they made would have been to do a before install and after install dyno without tune..
