Hello all! Just curious as to what Headers most people have been using, on there TC what brand gives the most BANG for the Buck$$ im looking to do headers and downpipe, any suggestions? on what brand? and should i do just headers no downpipe? Looking for some input on what will give me the best results. And curious im sure some sort of powerband? TOP END and or low end. but whats the difference between 4/1 headers as opposed to 2/1 headears? Which is better?

any input is greatly appreciated!

 

4-2-1 will give you more low end. while 4-1 will give you more top end.

i have the megan racing header and i think its the best bang for the buck.

i picked up the megan racing header + downpipe for about 280.

 

NICE! thanks i appreciate the reply, i seen the megan stuff was a bit more then what i was looking at but hey $ you pay for what you get soo yea im swaying towards them. appreciate the feedback!

 

megan is the best price you will find. I have it, and love it.

definatly improved the top end I was after, would recomend it to anyone.

 

DC Kicks ___, awesome high end power and cool look. Not shinny like the megan.

 

I like the sound of my MMW, even though it looks like sh*t

 

Im going to purchase something soon, mega, dc sports or something good, does the Dc Sports come with the gasket?
my brothers Xb dc sport headers had no gasket, and how about megan? do they have a gasket included?

thanks!

 

search GSCmotorsports

look for header dyno

 

thank you i was just about to say that..


alphaworks or the MMW FTW!... they are the most high HP producing headers compared to others mentioned above..

im not sure how the strup compared to the alphaworks but it would be great to see dynos of it.

 

Alphawerks!

 

if you dont mind lots of rattling and raspy sounds coming out of your exhaust then definately go with the MMW!

 

this is coming from someone who installed the s-pipe upside down?


im sorry but a good percentage of people who install headers on this site get rasp because they install the headers wrong or do not torque the bolts down in the correct order and TQ pressure.

installed correctly you should get little to no rasp.

 

It also depends on the design of the header itself, not just the bolt torque. Excess turbulance from exhaust gases being scavenged out of the cylinders causes a good bit of rasp through the pipes also. But yes, torque pressure does add to the raspiness.

 

actually, i personally didn't install it upside down as i have no knowledge on how to install things but yes it was installed upside down by a friend but reinstalled properly by a mechanic

 

<----does not understand how it can be installed upside down...

 

lol he claimed to know what he was doin and when i took my car to get tires rotated and aligned, i was told that my s pipe was installed improperly....

p.s. this installer is a member of scionlife

 

It's so hard to even imagine putting it on wrong when it's quite intuitive. hahaha..............maybe they should start marking A and B sides like CATs for some people who think they know what they're doin?........

 

if it was ALA then i have to have a major 1 on 1 with him. i dunno how he managed to align the pipes when they are only supose to fit one way.

 

better go have that 1 on 1 with him then

 

Alphawerks! Dyno proven. just need to do a complete exhaust with a resonator and you won't have rasp
