I sent a photo of the prototype long-tube xD header to a fellow Scion owner to have them post it. We will be testing thie header this week and will post dyno results. ZLike the Yaris header we did, the xD application will combine a long-tube header with a new mid pipe that will connect to the stock or after market axle back. Stay tuned for Dyno results.

 

how much will the header cost when it goes into production?

 

sweet! if you plan on doing a group buy thing like the intake manifold. im down to buy one(if price and gains are respectable)

I will also be down for one of these!! It will be the perfect complement for the Intake Manifold.....

But one step at the time, let's get that Intake manifold done! And the header will be the logical next step!

 

I'm going to have to comtemplate this one, I don't know yet whether I wanna go turbo or not.

 

Im pretty sure pullies, headers, manifold, catback, cai, and short shift kits will be more then enough to take down civics on daily basis
im just a kid/ student so i dont make much for a turbo option but hopefully theres a s/c option in the future

 

s/c can get pretty pricey too, and depending on how you drive with a turbo, can be even less fuel efficient considering that superchargers are ALWAYS in play, so you'll be paying for it regardless...

 

oo yeah im aware that it kinda is, im just sayn later on when im atleast done with high school and make abit more money
but I live in the city so I prefer low torque power then high top speed
besides during school when im zoning out, i can imagine my xd chirping through all rpm, i see my xd as a r.c car and r.c cars makes a chirping sound too when you play with it lol

 

haha fair enough, good luck with makin more money. im in college and im doing anything but. i thought the same as you did, that when i got outta HS i could make money to support my car...most everythings going to school...EH..oh well. good luck to you!

 

yeah i know most of my money will go to my edumication , I may not see a s/c anytime soon but ima try to get many small bolt on parts that are comin out soon hopefully haha
but thanks, good to know im not the only one with imagination

 

were you planning on tracking ur xD?

 

huh? I dont understand your adult lingo yet lol

 

taking your car to the track auto-crossing for example.

 

haha i knew that but just making sure
but yea maryland is really strict here and dont offer us a place to auto-cross as far as i know, we had 2 strips but the closest one i believe closed down and the only one up is almost two hours away

 

trdxd...do you race your xD???

 

unfortunately not yet, when i get my shocks + tires im going to start auto-crossing, and i hope to enter gymkhana events as well...assuming there will be any around haha..im being patient and waiting for everything to come togther first, dont want to go in unprepared

 

haha.true that.

 

i'd also be happier with getting a sway bar in first but...not too sure i'm THAT patient

 

haha.i see.

but if your looking at a rear sway bar and CAN wait (hehe) tanabe is coming out with an under brace for the D.

no clue when its coming out or the price though.
