Engine just installed my header today...

just installed my header today...

yep, i just finish install my header with alot help from my ncfour friends.. it actully took us about 3 hours to install it cuz none of us ever install a header before, anyways here is the pictures





also, here is a little video clip i took when on the way home.. it's me doing 0-60mph with one hand holding the camera and one hand on the steering wheel(i did not manually shift)

Some more pics here

first gear almost @ 45mph? Oo dang thats fast lol
feel any improvements for the header?
will u recommend it?
and is it made of stainless steel or ceramic coated?

nice video clip anyways

btw were u @ N gear b4 u launched the car?
or were u stepping on the brake pedal + the gas pedal?
just wondering how u did it hehe

yea.. i feel like i have 10 more wheel horsepower..

especailly at 4000 to 6000 RPM range..

i would recommand it if you have a supercharger, cuz you WILL feel a differences..

i was on D and use brake pedal + gas pedal and was holding a camera while driving.. so i didn't do the manual shifting (it would be even faster)..




btw, john.. thanx for posting the picture

the trd ecu made it so that it can shift automatically right before the redline?
thats cool
i still want to get a header though even my car is not s/ced nor turboed
is it goin to have some performance gain though for NA?
and will i lose low-end power if i installed it?

I didnt loose any low end power, and the high end gains were minimal, but it did seem to hold power a little better, but it seems its def worth it if your planning on getting the s/c which i am.

So you can actually feel a difference? I didnt think headers without FI would do that.

you mean just on the corolla, or on any car? cause headers for the prelude make like 16 wheel hp. But yes, it feel like it holds hp a little longer and i've seen dyno results of about 1.8 hp gain

MAN I WANT ONE NOW!!!! :shock: Damn u Dave! Damn u!!!

Which header was it?? OBX??

i was readin Import Tuners today and they have a Scion XB set up with AEM CAI, DC exhaust and DC 4-1 header and then did a dyno on it. they showed that the best gain was from the CAI. It's like +5 HP @ peak. header and exhaust both add around +1 HP each @ peak...
not sure if the corollas will get similar result to this....
