So, I've had this Stiffy for about a week now. Along with two other mods, a b&m sport shifter and a monster motorworks header. I figured it was time to rub one out, hahahaha, your dirty. With all of the mixed questions about the performance of each individual modification, I decided to do each mod one at a time a few days apart.

1. First was the b&m sport shifter. It took me a couple of days to unconsciously realize that my shifts were shorter and tighter. The stick, with the cage bushings stands at just about the same height as stock. This was, and proved to be perfect for me and the next couple of mods.

2. The second mod, was the Ingalls induced STIFFY. I have to say that this is probably the greatest mod anyone can do on a street rod. Back in the day, I owned a Mitsu Eclipse and literally shreded the engine mounts. So I hold the Stiffy close to my heart- GROSS!!! This product combined with the b&m sport shifter worked great. The tC drove much better, and the excelleration/ throttle responce was greatly improved. I rocked the Stiffy on the highest setting, and once I did the next mod I tighten it down to the lowest.

3. Last and loudest, is the MONSTER MOTORWORKS RACE HEADERS. They don't call them race headers for nothing. Holy shinkes!!!!! I am usually a pretty conservative driver.....not any more. Back in Janurary of 06, I bought M2's secret weapon intake, and have loved every minute of it. I have found it to be very well made/ designed/ and extremely functional. For months, I researched and read countless reviews on all of the headers available for the tC, all of which are different. I am an old skool rod guy myself, so the thought and the appearance of custom hand made headers makes my short and curleys straighten up. Not to mention I am still very happy with my M2 secret weapon intake. So the M2 headers. They are very cool looking and very hand made. They remind me of headers that Jessie James would create for the tC. A great mid-high range increase in power/ excelleration/ throttle responce. I am running the factory aftermarket TRD exhaust, and to me it sounds like a real import race car.

Dammit, now I am going to have to leave much later for work in the mornings, hahaha!

 

Can someone help me post pics, please?

 

some sound clips of the header with the TRD exhaust would be nice too. but i hope im not asking for too much!

 

I came in here expecting to hear about an accidental overdose of levitra or viagra.

carry on.

so you've had a stiffy for about week? don't you pay attention to the commercials or the warning labels? your supposed to call the doctor if it lasts more than 4 hours!

thank you and goodnight!

 

Sounds like puberty.

 

I believe if it's been more than four hours your supposed to call the 1-800 number aren't you?

Okay, lets see if I got this. Below should be some pics of the factory header beside the M2 header.



And next the S-Pipe



Here is a pic of the M2 header installed


The next picture is looking down on the header, and the one after that is looking underneath the car showing ground clearance

sexy

 

i gotta say, i like how bulky they look. I went with megan racing headers because i loved the curves. They didnt make this "monster" header when i got my headers.
First thing i noticed was your o2 sensor on ur spipe. Whats up with that? Is it some kind of antifouler or extension?
Can your still have a strut bar with a stiffy?

 

yes you can have a stiffy with a strut bar.

 

kamileon:

Yes, the thing on the S-pipe is the anti-foul for the second o2 sensor. Because of the massive air flow throught the header, setting the o2 away from the pipe tricks the sensor into reading/ sensing the correct flow. It was seperate from the S-pipe and header.

 

kk cuz my anti fouler is only like an inch or 2 away from pipe

 

You can have a Stiffy with a strut bar, but with the TRD strut tower bar you have to cut/ modify your wiper shield

 

^^^that's not true at all....I have the hotchkis, same thing as trd and an ingalls stiffy....no modification needed to the wiper cowl

 

Well allow me to retort, I only posted that because it was in jetlounge's install instructions. Check it out if you have a second, I think that the TRD and hotchicks are different.

 

I'm pretty sure that the trd and hotchkis are identical other than color and badging. Nevertheless, i'm unfamiliar with jetlounges diy, but i've installed many strut bars and stiffys and never once had to modifiy the wiper cowl. I've even installed a stiffy with a dc bar. In any case, thats how it worked for me. Maybe he prefered to modify the cowl. I've never seen it though, maybe a post a link so I can check it out?

 

LMAO! What a title!
