no one yet has come and dyno'd the header

 

Any updates?

 

I am sorry that no west coaster has taken you up on the offer. It would take 3-4 days to get there from here.

The "2" sections are so short. Will it really perform differently from a 4-1? Do you have any data on similar shorties, like for a Scion or something? I am just interested in the general shape of the power curves.

 

No more info on this? I'm starting my Co-Op semester soon and then I'll have some extra $$

Hoping for a header and/or a B-pipe. I was kinda hoping to see what kind of gains this header would yield.


Or, then again, I could always save up my money and go NOS...

Decisions Decisions...

 

Overall I'm happy with the Weapon*R headers, BUT there are noticible fitment issues with them. There's a good almost centimeter gap on the top right where the headers bolt on to the downpipe, also the hole for the support mount wouldn't align with the support mount either.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about, luckily it doesn't leak.

 

The 2 middle pipes are the same length as the two on the outside. See the pictures in my thread of the underside of the headers, they kinda go out and then in.

 

Here is the dyno results that we got last friday, forum member Bernardio was the one who came down to do the dyno testing. As you can see the header makes more impressive TQ curve and a little more HP overall. He did have a axle back and intake already on the car. If you are interested I am planning on doing a GB on this header and all over fit parts.

 

Thanks Chris for taking the time to install and dyno the street header on my Fit!! The rain was ridiculous, yet you guys were still willing to lay on soggy cardboard under a dripping under-carriage to get this product tested for your customers.

I'm very pleased with the street header so far. The extra torque comes on right where it's needed the most for daily driving. I didn't really notice much of an increase in noise level either while just cruising around, just a slight increase at WOT which is in no way intrusive.

Thanks again Weapon*R for developing products for the Fit!!

 

Thanks to Chris and Bernardio for the dyno info. The low end torque was what I was looking for.

 

Bernardio, do you know if they were able to bolt the headers onto the support bracket in your setup? I wasn't able to do mine when I installed it myself.

 

They didn't try to reinstall the support bracket for the new header so I'm not sure if there was a fitment issue or not. I'll see if I can get it back on this weekend. If not, maybe washer spacers or demelling the bracket's holes for adjustability will be an easy fix.

 

We have had this same header on the fit for some time now without the support bracket and have no had any problems. The same with the race header version.

 

I had some time tonight to crawl under the fit to check out the header. Unbolting the header from downpipe/cat I noticed the exhaust really didn't move too much from where it was suppose to be. This tells me that the hangars do a fine job of holding up the piping and that the exhaust was not being pulling forward excessively by the header. I guess if you're hitting some hard bumps while driving it may stress the welds on the header, but it looks like the welds were solid and should hold up to some heavy abuse.

About the bracket, I got it back on. I ended up moving the thick washer under (instead of over) the bracket's top hole that bolts to the header. This made the bottom part of the bracket lay pretty flat against the engine block. I then took a hammer to the bracket while it was off the car to further adjust the angles of the bolted surface so it would lay prefectly flat against the block. Then I dremelled open the bottom hole into a fork so the bottom bolt could easily slip into the hole in the block. Finally I tighten the two bolts up. Nice and easy fix for a little peace of mind.

 

Idk... doesn't make sense that they'd fabricate the hole for the bolt but then not make it line up. And then not to even bother to fix it when they found out it wasn't working. I may end up doing what you did next time I get a free day.

 

Is the group buy still in progress.....
Thanks AC

 

i m more intersted in the weapon-r exhuast system
can you pm me with a price
cuz i saw it on youtube and really love da sound

 

Weapon R ARE WE DOING THE HEADER GROUP BUY ???????

If not im going with Megan racing header .

I hate waiting... If you are going to due a group buy "Then lets get it on"

 

I just purchased this header from never enough auto. Does this header come with gaskets and instructions?

 

No and no.

But you can reuse the one from the OEM header.

Instructions are fairly simple. Remove the three bolts holding the heat shield on, two up top one down in the middle. Take out the 5 bolts connecting the header to the exhaust manifold. Go underneath the car, remove the two bolts connecting the headers to the cat. Unplug/unscrew if you're feeling lucky the sensor. Remove the headers from the top of the engine. Repeat the steps in reverse for the new ones sans the heat shield.

 

Thanks Arisenfury,

I ordered the stock gaskets from my local dealer (42 bucks yikes) just in case. I don't want to start and have that break on me. As for the O2 sensor should I try to unscrew that first so the car can hold the header. Is it that frozen? I guess I should put a little anti seize on it before putting it on the weapon r.
