i have been waiting to get a header for a long time now and finally got one last night...
me and my dad hooked it up this morning... i was expecting it to be louder and noticably faster, but neither have occured...
does it need to be broken in like an exhaust??

 

You can't really feel 6-7hp, dyno it and it will be there.

 

add a downpipe and will notice along with hp tuners

 

very nice, keep us updated!

 

Which header?? The original version or the V2??

 

i got the original header...
does it make a difference for our cars between the V1 and V2??
i thought the only difference is that the V2 can fit the 2.2

 

V2 also have a larger outlet (apparently is only useful for 2.0)

 

I have a 2.2L and I want a 2.5" collector. What size is the collector on the V2??

 

i think its 2.8"

 

OH, OK, thanks!! That's what Kenny at Cobalt Addiction had told me waaaaayyyyy back that their next header, if I'm not mistaken was going to have a 2.78" collector. I just didn't know what the production piece did finally come with. That means that this header would be very well matched to the 2.75" Random Technology downpipe with high-flow cat.

 

hehe i just heard it from other members who mentioned it on the other posts, but sounds right to me

 

Until I read this thread, I didn't even know it was available. I really had already given up on this header making it to production, but YaY, it finally made it.

 

yeah kinda stupid but v2 has a bigger collector which would quite pointless for a 2.2. or 2.4 without any f/i....the v1 header is much better..10whp gain...cant beat that for the price...but adding a downpipe def gets u real good flow..ill be addin mine soon most likely

 

Next to doing my mounts...that is my second favorite mod I did...make sure you do both at the same time

 

and yes its a 2.8" collector.

 

steddy: where did you get the poly mounts for the 5spd

 

I got the vibrant header, dp hi-flow cat last week, and installed it the same day. Its awesome, I can feel a hell of a difference from 80+mph. From the line it puts you in your seat pretty good.

 

nice nice..and with a good tune..even better.lol

 

When i installed the v1 header i defianly noticed a difference in the upper rpms. I already had a tune along with intake and exhaust so that might have something to do with it.

 

TTR of course

 

my friend was busy with pinks all out this weekend.

 

I got mine at www.newedgeperformance.com. They're Prothanes.
