I looking for the best headers other than crawford (dont feel like paying for the incredibly hard install and dont have 1200 bucks) i was looking at nismos any suggestions and also do i HAVE the get hem coated with jethot to prevent brake fade and fuel line brun and stuff like that

 

I love my topspeed's. Difinite increase in power and I only paid $230 shipped. Installed for $200 also- but I was hooked up on the install.

 

after seeing dyno runs for various headers, theres no way id run anything but crawford. Wait a few more months and spend the extra $$.

 

how much hp did the crawford's push out?

 

Two reasons i didn't want to go with crawford actually 3.
1. money of course
2. i heard a rumor you have to pull the motor off its mounts to install (yeailding a very hard install whihc jacks up install costs)
3. They are so big they need to be coated with jethot becuase they come dangerous close to fuel lines etc


some companys i have come across for under 900 of around
strup
nismo
stillen
borla(woundlnt get)
DC
Topspeed


so basically i would save of the extra money but its all about the install basically

 

Why not save your money and get Nexus/Alphawerks headers, I believe they can be installed just like those other one's, and they make similar gains to Crawford, over 12hp with other mods, and over 18hp with nothing else.

 

I those that the alphawerks were BS claims?

 

No, they proved it. And, they've offered to prove it again when the set comes in this month.

 

I believe a member of this board posted dyno's of the Alphawerks headers gaining 21whp and 16 tq? I believe it was also SCC that tested their stuff and got like 19 whp and 15 tq as well.

 

COJ_General I believe is his sn.

 

unless u r runnin some good power mods (cams, nitrous, sc), no set of headers is goin to b worth it, imo. if u r goin to b runnin something big, then u should get what u pay for; the more u pay for em, the better gains u should see. i got my dc's from summit when they were like $275, btw . w/ what i got now, i didn't really notice a diff though.

 

So what do you guys think about nismo headers? And if i was going to get them coated (any header) should i get stainless or ceramic does it matter?

 

i think the nisslows only come in stainless. i'm just jokin, btw; they're fine, but expensive.

 

i have the topspeeds.. debating whether or not to spend the 350 to install them . demon did u jethot coat ur topsppeeds?

 

I've heard Crawford headers are supposed to be the best but I havn't really seen a pre/post dyno of them. I just installed a set of Top Speed headers and dynoed them.

I have topspeed headers installed, i felt a noticable gain on the top end and meaner sound from the motor, while the Crawfords may make more power, the price/hp with the topspeeds cant be beat!
