4-3-2-1 Ceramic coated. THAT will be unique, for sure!

I voted 4-2-1 ceramic coated. Especially with the supercharger, we want the metal body of the compressor to recieve as little heat as possible.

4-2-1 ceramic.. less heat = better result..

but also a 4-1 ceramic.. the tc lacks a little top end sometimes.. some more top end power would be nice!!

4-3-2-1 that would be a unique header lol

i also agree with a 4-2-1 ceramic coated for heat reasons. I would much rather have power through out, then just top end.

stainless is bling though...

All sensibility aside, but you gotta have a stainless header to match the exhaust right? Its too pretty!!

Maybe they could offer some kind of stainless heat shield for a ceramic header? Best of both worlds right?

that never crossed my mine. it would add bling, and reduce heat even more with an added shield. maybe that could make it an option if they go that route.

good thinkin

heard the problem with ceramic headers is that after about four years you have to get them recoated again since the ceramic wears off... that'll just leave the mild steel underneath exposed... rust city =p

thing is, most people don't keep their cars after 5 years. anybody ever deal with this?

I think that is the best idea.

Normally that would cost a lot more but Draxas seems to be a good company that won't murder customers with little metal add-ons.

Just wanted to update everyone on this...

We will more than likely begin development of a Scion tC header in February/March 2006. We are leaning towards producing a stainless steel 4-2-1 header... However, we will also more than likely produce a 4-1 header strictly for testing, to see what kind of power we can make. If the power gains are similar between the two then we will definitely mass produce a 4-2-1 header.

We've been getting emails and phone calls from Scion tC owners interested in our plans to develop a header. If you are interested, please email or call us. The more interest we see the more likely we will be to release a header faster.

Estimated cost for a T-304 Stainless Steel 4-2-1 header would be around $450-$550.... SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the other 4-2-1 header on the market. Same if not better gains, VERY High qaulity and a lifetime warranty.

Love to see a Ceramic 4-2-1.

Props if you can beat MMW on price point with similar power and keep the low end. I can say you won't be getting my MMW setup off me, it's gonna be tough to make ma a convert.

BTW love your guys exhaust, wish it was out when I was in the market.

I voted for 4-2-1 Stainless, although I'd go for either stainless or ceramic, so long as it was 4-2-1. Then I read down and saw this:

Estimated cost for a T-304 Stainless Steel 4-2-1 header would be around $450-$550
Draxas, I love you. Hurry up and release it!

i dont care about the finish cuz i would rap mine whenever i get some good quality 1s. i just dont want any CEL coming on and no vibration which causes rasp.

Flint, draxas just released their exhaust with a resonator, and there is NO rasp with the system.

The car that was tested had an intake, AW header, and draxas spipe and back exhaust (with resonator)... NO RASP!

No CEL would be a good thing if that is possible to obtain with the design on the header. Nikolas do you know if Phil is throwing a CEL? if not does he have an anti-fouler or the ZPI o2 simulator?

that is also a good estimated proce for a 4-2-1, espically with a lifetime warranty!

if headers for the tc cant b made with a anti fouler built in2 them or somethin i'll have to BREAK AWAY from the norm and get the best that i can get and just take the CEL bulb out of the gauge cluster just like i did with my civics.
