Anyone in the area with headers installed?

haha that's how my car is

probably the same side effect for anyone running a catless system

Also, like the cai, the returns on the hp improvement are questionable. Probably better off saving the money for a different upgrade.

Which headers did you have paired with the Ark? And did you have high flow cats?

FI long tubes. I have some videos kicking around. I also have a video of the headers on my custom stock exhaust. My custom exhaust was really a straight pipe and ridiculously loud haha.

That sucks. I was looking for a buyer for like a whole month haha.

Anyone looking to have these installed...just know you are in for a fight. Personally after doing my headers and doing EW's HFCs....I can say I prefer the headers. I think his car may be an exception and not all of them are that bad but holy crapppppppppppppppppp.

Also how many here would be interested in a modest engine bay wire tuck/relocation type service? After cleaning mine up quite a bit its really nice now. It does require some drilling/cutting but is really nothing major.

We can laugh about it now, but man, when we were actually working on my car, it was like a fight with Mike Tyson... fuuuuck, what a pain.

It literally was. Like that time my hand slipped and I cut my pinky down to the bone. :|

Seriously though I never imagined that. I think it was just your car though because When I did mine I left the headers/cats as one and never took them apart. I finally took them apart like 3 months ago in 5 minutes. So I don't know how to feel.

eastwest2300 · 05-14-2013, 03:47 PM

I was seriously worried, i thought I'd have to spend the night and fight with it tomorrow..

That results in not having driven the vehicle

I'm running a Stillen CBE, I haven't heard the Ark yet, can I assume they are similar?

eastwest2300 · 05-15-2013, 05:20 PM

Nope. ARK and HKS, yes.. Not ARK & Stillen.

dmhenderson · 05-15-2013, 05:33 PM

I didn't care for the stillen exhaust note at all but I know some people like it.

Wow, that first vid is pretty much what i'd like to have it sound like, as long as it's not like that all the time, which it sounds like you said it wouldn't be under 3k. I'd probably still be running the Stillen CBE though.
