Since there is a new price drop, im really close to getting the TRD Supercharger, i was wonder which header is everyone rolling with?? I currently have Alphawerks, will i have any clearance issues with the shaft of the S/C?? Thanks

 

I have dc on mine, but alphawerk should be fine too.

 

ok thanks

 

i thought that if you use after-market headers on a s/c'd tc that it will throw a c.e.l.???




(thats the wholre reason why i dont plan on getting a new header)

 

^^ i never heard that before.......

 

my setup has a antifouler on down pipe no cel over here.

 

MMW here, they have ____ty customer service, but their product is amazing.

 

I had the same problem with my s-pipe/half shaft rubbing. I hammer to the s-pipe took care of that...

 

nice thanks for the pic, you have to hammered the s-pipe the make the MMW fit?

 

No, mine just happened to be off a little bit, so it was a temporary fix, and Ive been trying to get MMW to replace it ever since, but they seem to be ignoring me. I have pics of what it looks like/what damage it did, but on my other comp ill post them later on tonight so you can check it out.

 

ok thanks......im assumming the new version of MMW doesn't have that problem they got that promo sale for 400 shipped, im prolly gonna jump of that too

 

Im pretty sure they are still the same as the piece that I got. I think mine was just a luck of the draw kinda thing, because Weapon-R makes the Header/s-pipe by hand... allowing for slight varriences in assembly im sure.

If you are going to get/change your header make sure you do it before installing the s/c because it will be damn near impossible to get one off/on after the s/c is installed.

 

yeah i do plan on doing that, with your experience with MMW.....i mean i read a lot about it but i wanna hear from people who actually own it and not going by dyno's....do you have a lot of low end power? and does the S/C balance it out because the S/C's power runs in the high end?? reason why i ask is because i have the AW, its great n all but i rather have low end torque since im a DD....

 

^ very good question. im also thinking about getting the S/C now due to the price drop. I was thinking about running the megan header with it though. Anyone with the megan header and the S/C setup?

 

also is it necessary to wrap the header when i get the S/C in heat wrap or coat it? what are the consequences if i just left it the way it is, if any?

 

its a good idea to wrap it or coat it, or just get the dc's they are ceramic coated. i believe a good deal of seals have gone due to heat soak from the header. i dont think id get a header if i were supercharged

 

I did hear of a problem with the heat from the header harming the seals in the supercharger being as there no heatshield to block any of the heat coming off of an aftermarket header

 

yeah i think ive decided to just use the stock header, dont want another thing to worry about, thanks

 

Im running the strup header w/ jethot. No problems with that setup. That darn header gets really hot even if you have jethot ....the stock header gets hella hot also. The s/c likes the header because its allows the car to breathe better. Also - the s/c did make the car feel better when driving.

 

Wouldnt be able to tell you the difference it made, because it was installed prior to s/c. When I did install it though n/a you could feel a good bump in power. 4-2-1 Header's deliver pretty good all around power. im a big fan of the product itself, not the company.
