Your welcome. PM sent

 

i got mine back early last month but was there supposed to be header wrap and upgraded bolts in all of the shipments? Just wanted to know because I have heard that the bolts sent to us needed to be replaced with better ones.

 

It might have header wrap in there somewhere... I didn't look in the bottom of the box.

Either way, i'm not too worried. I'm doing something very 'bad' to this header in a few weeks... like getting a polished ceramic coating job.
On top of that, I'm building a custom head shield for #2, so header wrap won't be needed.

 

for anyone doing the install there are a couple things to note about the tools you need in addition to the list that comes with the kit you need another internal torx socket the E7 socket is for the studs on the head but you need a bigger internal torx socket to remove and transfer the studs in the header to downpipe flange i think an E8 or just bring a whole set. and a 6mm allan key socket to install the new header to head only works in a couple of spots i needed a allen key wrenck that had a ball end to be able to get at an angle. and deff only use 6mm metric one because the non metric one can and most likely will strip it. header sounds amazing!

 

I think I am going to get mine around Xmas

 

time to set the camera beside the car about 10 feet, record a few revs. Then do some fly bys?

chop chop!!

 

my #2 primary comes close to nothing... i dont think u will need to get a heat shield made or even use the wrap for that matter...

 

Good to know. I guess the pictures can be a bit deceiving then.

 

Must've just been the older headers. I wound up cutting away some of my firewall blanket, which I now regret cuz there is always a smell of burning insulation...

 

mine didn't come with header wrap so hopefully i won't need it, however i still e-mailed jbp to find out whats going on, i also told them they needed to put their catback on sale cause i really really want it but not for $1000.00

 

I find it to be too loud.

 

ya but its the only true 3" exhaust that i have found, all the rest have a 2.5 starting out then it turns in to 3", i wan't 3" all the way from my header!!!

 

Just go custom, I did.

 

ya, um.. u kinda had to lol

oh and jbp emailed me back and said the new design doesn't need the header wrap.

 

A full 3 inch meticulously maintained is kinds overkill. U would have to be running a lot of boost for it to really make a difference. As long as you have a decent header and a non restrictive down pipe, I think anything 2.5 or better down the line will be more than adequate.

 

QFMFT!!!!
That is if you have the resources to build your own, or know some one who can.

 

I plan on running a stage 5 kit with a 2.5" pulley!

 

BOOM!

 

Yeah. Anything much less than a 3 inch is more or less over spinning the blower's capabilities. You'll wind up having to swap out your coupler, s/c oil and rotor bearings every 3 months to keep it all running primo. That's a setup for a strict friday night track car.

You might be better off with a TVS if you really want to justify needing that much freeflow at the back. Otherwise, stick with a conservative exhaust setup, mild pulley, and make your work inside the head, and tune your timing to a nice healthy powerband.

 

Yeah i was planning to run a 2.6 isnt a 2.5 a tad small ? how much boost would it pull out ?

 

Who cares what the boost is... the heat gets pretty insane after a 3". With cooling mods, maybe down to a 2.8".

 

No vids yet?

 

i would but i only get to use the computer on short breaks at work, b/c i dont have internet anymore, or a good working computer yet. to me and a couple of my co workers it sounds throaty like a wrx i think they sound very nice, but everytime i shift i expect to hear a bov haha

 

i havent receive mine
i just email them since i havent receive my tracking number
i really want it :´(
