Engine just receive my header

just receive my header

just got my header from UPS today... i'm going to install it next week at a shop for $80..
hopefully i can get 10hp out of this thing

shiny now you gotta get the bling-bling S/C to match 8)

10hp, not gonna happen. i like the way mine looks though, thats about it.

How about the sound?

exhaust wise, no differance, but it has the ever popular header "tick"ing sound, and i love it ha.

it might its s/ced

i already have the SC.. lol

Hey David is this the EL Prototypes Header.

nope, this is the KBD header, i'm just bought one to see how the quality is, i will have it on my site soon.

I dont know how much horse power, but you should DEFFINATELY get a gain.

So whats the header ticking noise you were describing? I would expect the exhaust to get a tiney louder maybe just because of increased flow, but im wongering about the header ticking. I gues its like the CAI, i didnt expect such great sound from it, really makes the car sound pissed off. Ill just have to see whenever i get a header. Im gona get the EL thou cuz its ceramic coated.

thats shiny...
let us know how the performance is after the header is installed
IMO i would rather wait for the DC Sports performance Header instead

the problem is we don't know when DC sports will have it out... maybe a month, a year or maybe never.. i actully called DC sports today and the sales didn't even know when will they have it..

true, but this is the time when i m tryin to save up more $$ for it when its out hahh

This header is Smog legal? If so, *two thumbs up*

yea KBD says is smog legal... but then again, i font care haha

The matrix guys saw 15 to the wheels with the jp header and supercharger combo so I would expect atleast 10 to the wheel with that header if not the same. For you NA guys a header wont do as much because you arent pushing as much air but the FI guys need to get a header I am soon

The KBD is CARB registered? Are you sure? Cuz if it doesn't have CARB registration, then it is NOT legal here in California. Even if it doesn't cause any emissions problems, it will fail visual inspection, which is all the same anyway.

I've never seen a shop check the headers. When I had my MR2, I was missing my EGR, and the tech missed it. Of course I barely passed the smog and the car knocked at rpms above 5k on anything lower than 89 octane. Well worst case, there are shops down here who for a little funny money let it go by...

I know what you mean. I love the OC sometimes.

hoolala: i think everyone here knows you got the S/C but i was thinkin about the chromed out one on the trd matrix.

Hooolala, any pics yet?? I cant wait to see it, Im getting interested, I might have to get me one.

where did you get your headers from and how much? is that ebay one any good?

how much is the KBD header?



Im from the phiippines...


our 02 sensor is is place on the piping before the catalytic converter and not on the headers...


would i have problems if i use this header?


our headers dont have any holes for the 02 sensor.

I think the headers come with all the fittings.

i got mine off ebay for $200 a while back. It does have the threaded hole where the o2 sensor would go, but it could easily be plugged, there are no fittings with the header because they are not needed

do you like the ebay header? any comments on it
