deal or pay a lil more from a better known site?

 

no, thats a pretty respectabl site. ive ordered from them before. go for it

 

Very good site i ordered my springs,,, and know many people that ordered from them go for it. One question,,,, is that a good header??????? never heard from it.....

 

i was about to order it, but i just read that this header has no cat, it's a racing header, i guess its their new version

 

anybody know where i can get a decent header with the precat on it still? the picture on hopupracing is the same one on creativecompacts.com, and the difference is that CC's megan header says it has a high flow pre cat. But i read somewhere that megan stopped making their headers with the precat, so i'm a little confused.

 

The precat no longer exist do to manufacture defects in the design. no other company currently offers a header with a precat. AW, Megan, MMW, DC all do not have precats.

 

So what would i do if i got the megan header so as not to get a CEL?

 

Anti-fouler trick...do a search..its worked for me for the last few months

 

holy jeez these questions get ask alot but I understand.
After the header there is a 2 foot pipe called a S-pipe. Your second 02 sensor is located there. This is the sensor that tells the computer that the first cat is working by seeing reduced tempeture from the first 02 sensors reading in your factory header/manifold. There is a little threaded pipe called a anti-fouler that pulls the second 02 sensor a few inches out of the s-pipe so it does not get so hot. This tricks the computer and 90% of the time no CEL. Should this not work you can hardwire a sensor in the 02 wire that will do it (more money) called a 02 simulator. You can pick one up EZ here :http://www.racingsolution.com/showpa...on=DisplayPart
Also be aware adding a header will make your car much louder if you have a aftermarket exhaust.
