Default Header Question

Well i got my scion like a while ago.....and i think i should start puting some new parts in the engine :D:D

Well any ways to the point,,,im very interested in puting a new headers first on the car.

i can spend some big cash since iv'e been saving up thats not the problem...but im just wondering if i only get the header piece not the full exaust system. Will it have some sound problems or some engine problems.

so Is puting only the header part in the car will be ok?
will it do good with stock exuast? and also i was on ebay there were some kits header and exuast system but i duno sounds shady to me for 150 bucks.....
like this kit

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...spagenameZWDVW

or just the header i'm very interested in this 1 peace

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-08...spagenameZWDVW


Sorry for long links If you guys kindly can and maybe give me some suggestions and maybe some new ideas on what to get the kits and others...

Im more interested in geting only the header peace and attaching it to the stock exuast...

also sorry for spelling

Thankz

Taras.

Do your research and get something that will give you the most out if your car. Dont just settle for a good deal. Spend some extra and get a good quality part that has a warrinty and stuff.

IMO get a 4-2-1 header and gain more torque and some hp thats what i did.

Oh yeah. Puttin a header on and keeping the rest stock wont matter, it just helps in power and sound to do a full exhaust or an intake, and helps gas milage too.

Good luck

You will be better off getting a complete exhaust systen, i.e. header and catback exhaust system. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Heres the web site where i got mine.

http://www.promotiontuning.com/Merch...SciontCHeaders

The DC sports header is also a good header only reason i didnt get it is because the mmw header comes w/ the s-pipe.

I had a header and s-pipe on for 20k before getting the rest of my exhaust, and it didnt harm any from what i can tell. It also doesnt change the sound much w/ just the header fust a little more sound in the high rpms at wot.

I think if you get the skunk2 cat back system it will sound the best w/ out adding a bigger resonator.

K Josh 1 more question if i get the header that u have linked and this system kit

http://www.skunk2.com/mm5/merchant.m...de=413-08-2270


Then just connect the header the the tip of it and it all fits right?



and if i get the skunk and this header i will need aditional piping? Since this one does not come with the S pipe

http://www.promotiontuning.com/Merch...SciontCHeaders

Sorry lol little confused here....

000 and may i ask you what kind of Exhaust do you have ?

y is this in forced induction? and to answer your question, your car DOES come with piping... so even if you switch out everything other than your s-pipe, you'll have everything connected. it'll bottleneck like crazy, but yeah whatever. get a mmw header nd s-pipe, and a catback and call it a day.

Yes. With the header that i linked you, then the skunk2 exhaust will bolt directly to the supplyed s-pipe with the mmw header.

and if i get the skunk and this header i will need aditional piping? Since this one does not come with the S pipe

http://www.promotiontuning.com/Merch...SciontCHeaders
Yes you will need to buy a seperate s-pipe with the megan header. Im not sure how much they cost but i know there are several companys out there selling these s-pipes now.

Also if you buy the megan header you will also have to purchase an antifouler (it keeps you check engine light from coming on when you delete the first cat on the stock header.) When you buy the mmw header they give you the antifouler also.

Dont worry, sometimes i feel like im asking questions like a curios little kid lol. If you need any more help dont be afraid to ask. Just glad to help.

000 and may i ask you what kind of Exhaust do you have ?
sorry i didnt see this Q. Full magnaflow exhaust. I have the precision muffler axleback exhaust "magnaflow" and the high flow cat and resonator are also magnaflow. Hers a clip of what it sounds likehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=253F-7jINNE[

Also remember that the stock s-pipe is very restricted if you dont replace this it wont hurt or anything, but it will keep you from getting all the potencial hp from your system.
