Just installed Weapon-R Race Header!!! Pics inside

I just installed my header tonight and let me tell you, the difference in this verses the Megan header and T1R cat delete is amazing! Before my car would feel like it had no mid range power at all it would only pull hard above 5k but now it pulls like a freight train from 3k all the way to redline. This header made my exhaust quieter and deeper i will try to get some video sometime. Overall I would have to say I am very pleased with this purchase. now on to the pics:




Now a couple comparison shots between stock, megan/t1r, and the weapon-r

thats a nice lookin header. havent yet seen one quite like that, what is the price on this header and where do you buy? what about emissions will the fit pass without the cat? cause i know some car will run so clean they dont need cat to pass emissions. if so let us know

Good thinking. I might even look into a wideband and o2 sensor.

Yes the cat is deleted on both downpipes....the Weapon R downpipe has a flex pipe on it.....removing the cat & it looks like he has the T1R downpipe as well which is just a straight pipe.

I only see one O2 sensor prong, at the end of the test pipe. There is none on the dual collector?

I see that as well....is there a O2 sensor on the Weapon R header?
If not is there some sort of bypass for that 1?

What kind of exhaust are you running? I noticed in your sig you say Aspec, but is that an axle-back or the full exhaust they offer?

Thats good to know. While I never got to drive my car with the Megan header due to it leaking like a motha chicken I love the gains from my T1R cat-delete.

I think Im going to buy this RH.

very sexy header.

question: where the 2 pipes are on the racing header, how do those pipes connect? do they just slide into one another and hold or what?
i assume the fit as dual o2 sensors (maybe not?), so why is there only 1 bung?

and any word on passing emissions? will it pass with the rh and intake etc?

There should be another o2 bung. I think I remember seeing one when I held the header at a local Fit meet.

The header will not pass emissions due to deleting the cat. They do not offer this header with the cat, thats why its called a race header. WR makes a shorty header also.
