I spoke to OSR directly and I remember he did say that tri-y headers like the WeaponR Street actually performed worse than the stock header w/ the KWSC. He recommended a 4-1 header like the Megan for performance.

 

I think dew wants the race header tho, not the street header. The race header, yes, is a better setup.

 

see thats what i heard.. but race headers are different. i wanna see the result.

 

more like 50mm=1.97inches

 

its bigger than 50mm. My RSR was 50mm and the piping was TINY compared to the megan. it is a 60mm.

 

Well, I get the race header wenesday so well see what happens. Oh and I'll measure all off the piping.. The Megan stuff is more than 50mm i'm sure of that. Now I just can't decided on skunk2 50mm or 60mm OR spoon bpipe..

 

get the skunk 60mm. PM me and ill hook u up.

 

Buy a skunk 2 60mm exhaust, i'm running it on my car without supercharger or turbo, as is... the car is way faster and louder than a MOFO... gotta love it when you pass my the police. Just blip it a bit or let the gas go and it gets even louder :-D

 

Interested in results. I'm saving up for my KWSC right now, as well.

Loud exhaust is FTL

 

wont be too loud with the setup that im going to run.

btw megan header/cat delete/mid pipe for sale PM me if interested.

 

Is that the same Megan header that you sold to me, then I never got a chance to install it, then you traded me your skunk2 springs to send you the header back? Haha...that was a funny set of transactions.

I may be interested, I got some other stuff in the works right now, but I'll PM you once it gets closer to buying time

 

yeah hahahaha its painted with hitemp silicone and wrapped with 3 layers of heat blanket.

 

i thought the only race headers is weapon r race headers? don't they leak and have fitment issues?

 

yep, fitment issue is easy to fix and the leak is fixed by welding it into one pice.

 

From what I hear from some other local guys, most good race headers won't fit properly because most times, the most power-adding designs just don't fit with the stock mounting points. If it doesn't fit, you make it fit.

I guess that's what makes the difference between a real tuner and a credit card-toting wannabe? I would definitely consider myself the latter. I'm too chicken to actually mod the car itself. I just bolt things on that make noise and hope that I can go faster

 

I can relate to that

Well, my kids get the impression it works for real

 

So I got the race header in and the 50mm skunk catback. omg sounds amazinggggggg!! so much more responce and low-mid power I love it!

 

Alright so I sold (pending sale, rather) my H-Fit Type M exhaust due to money and some issues with how loud it is (girlfriend complaining). However now that I put the OEM muffler back on, I'm seriously depressed about the lack of power across the band. It feels like the car got the wind knocked out of it.

I need an exhaust that will be relatively quiet but be less restrictive for FI than the OEM muffler... I was thinking of getting a AP1/AP2/EP3 muffler and getting that bolted on. This should stay quiet and provide more than enough flow right?

 

Honestly, I'm quite surprised how none of you go the custom route. A lot of muffler shops can make you custom stuff with all the fancy mandrel bent tubing you'd get from an aftermarket brand. Meanwhile you'd save a good amount of money and time too.

If I ever upgraded my exhaust, I'd go with custom 2.25" tubing, Carsound high-flo cat, and an ES Tuning/Magnaflow muffler. The setup might not give me the best performance, but at least it's still legal.

Btw...where the heck are our CARB stickers?!?

 

Seriously.
