no, i am saying people should dyno their cars after putting the header on.

 

Going from the wet noodle header to the deepthroat longtube header.

 

I want to order this but I want to hear some fly-bys with an aftermarket catback, let's go ppl step it up!

 

lol, area I would dyno mine but it wouldnt be a straight comparision, since my last dyno I pullied down, ported head, throttle body, etc. It would be irrelevant.

 

Exactly !! I knew this would happen ....

Everyone has sat here talking about this header like it's going to provide some huge gain and be the best header for the LSJ, but there are no numbers to prove that. This is another reason why I don't take advice on mods from people on this site that often anymore. Most people say a certain product is better than another due to liking a particular vendor more than another. Rather than performing tests to see which product actually provides the best performance gains.

 

How much extra would you want for one ceramic coated?

 

We aren't offering that as an option. Your best bet is to get a quote from your local powder coat shop.

I just installed my header and im liking it so far, it sounds nice and deep a little louder too.
Theres a sound of a leak somewhere i cant figure out where, i put my hands around the exits but dont feel anything, anyone else experience this?

 

Try the V-Band. Mine has a very slight leak until it get fully heated up, then it's fantastic

 

Actually thats where i hear it and what do u mean by heat it up?

 

once the metal expands it provides a better seal is what i think he is trying to say.

 

Ahh I see, Its going away slowly im pretty sure it will go away, thanks guys

 

It's Stainless. It doesn't need to be coated

 

you dont coat headers for rust protection usually...

 

the whole point of stainless is to not rust

 

idk if anyone here is from indiana but there is a place called Prokote that does a real go job at coatings. They are way cheaper then jet hot too. They are also a sponsor for IndyHP so you know its good stuff if you know IndyHP

 

im aware....i said coat, not use stainless steel.

Header is on sale right now

 

You guys should bring one of these to CED. Have a buyer setup for a purchase and get them to run their car on the dyno for a baseline. Then install the header and get back on the dnyo to figure out the gains.

I know that the true gains of the header won't be seen without proper tuning but it would be interesting at least.

 

found a new way to install it...

if you have your subframe out so you can replace your motor for a spun rod bearing and valve tap, then just slip it up through the bottom

 

Ah, GOOD THINKING! would be interesting to see!

 

I would be willing to do this but I would need to have someone buy my ZZP midlength combo at the meet. I could run on the dyno with my stock mani and dp or my zzp midlength catless setup.

 

stock vs. longtube

 

I am sure that Tom would let us use a lift in the garage to put it on. Lets work something out Josh. I'll send you a PM.
