I'm trying to find a way to make my car faster. I already have an intake installed and want to do a couple more engine mods to speed things up a bit. I was told getting headers and an exhaust might help, but others say it's just for sound effects.
Anyone want to help a girl out and let me know?

 

best header is Alpha Werk, but they don't make them anymore.
You will only able to get used.
Another one is Monster Motor header, I head they have the best hp gain. I have no experience with them.

I have DC header. it is $300. i like it a lot . It probably add about 7hp to the wheel.

 

search for "header rasp" and read a few threads

 

A header is by far the best "gain" you will get without boost/nitrous, but you will probably spend a LOT on a new exhaust to quiet it down

 

a good header and exhaust will probably be 1k alone.

 

haha i was about to say why hasnt anyone told this person to "Search" ? Maybe cuz shes a female?? I know for sure that if it was a male, especially in his teens he would have been told SEARCH asap...

sorry just speaking the truth

 

LoL well thanks for answering. Glad you guys could help me out.

 

I guess a cute avatar goes a long way with the guys on here...

I will be nice and say go with the header, s-pipe, and a new rear section to open it up and get some more hp out of the motor. you can also swap the pulleys out for some NST lite weight to spin faster. just depends on what your budget is and how far you want to go.

also, look for used stuff on here for the exhaust. you can usually find header on here for cheap

 

Also some pulleys can help out alot... but if your looking for that gain and sound you might want to go with a catback exhaust...

 

Search. A lot.

 

alpha works header or mmw header + full exhuast will help out. or u can get a crank pulley

 

Well thanks guys. I'm looking into all the suggestions as we speak.
I appreciate the advice.

 

I am about to have an Alphawerks header, invidia downpipe and a custom cat back system put on my tC. I already have a intake dyno, i'll post link to the after exhaust install dyno. I know it will show more power then just the header install but it will give you an idea of power gains from some exhaust work.

 

cool man post it up...thats a good combo my boy has it... what size piping are you getting?? 2.25...or 2.5

he has 2.25 piping and man it dips pretty nicely

 

Get a monster motors works header and spipe combo. My car flies with that long with an axleback tanabe concept g and a custom midpipe! custom exhaust FTW

 

I have Megan Headers/Injen Cold Air/Custom Exhaust/Pulley and compared to when I was stock...i love my setup now

 

well how much hp can we get out of an i/h/e setup? lets say an injen cai, mmw header and a custom full exhaust with a high flow cat and a couple of resonators?

 

headers, exhaust, intake, pulleys, and stickers

 

definitely post on that, I am very interested!
