I was looking at one of the web sites i use to look up car parts and I had a question if someone can answer. I was on www.hopupracing.com looking at exhausts for my z and i was looking at the headers and I had heard stillen makes good ss headers but are $800, then I looked at the dc sports ss headers and they were like $850, and then I saw the Sturp ss headers and they were like $650 and I was wondering was the price a reflection of perfomance or was it that stillen and dc are too overpriced. So if anyone's a got some comments on the subject, please hit me up. Much appreciation in advance......

This have GREAT gains! They can be found at avalon racing for about 650.00

 

Heres a dyno

I would trust those dynos about as far as I could throw them. If you want a good set of headers for the best money I think that a lot of people have had success with the Topspeed headers, and they are somewhere around 350-400 bucks. If you look at the headers they look identical to the Strup and Alphaworks. I do not know much about the Stillen's, so I can not comment on them. If you want to spend the money I would go Crawford.

 

best value=topspeeds.

 

^Damn you beat me. I was gonna say IBsomeonementionsTopspeedheaders. Lol.


When I finally get around to modding my car, if no one else has, I'm going to buy a set of Topspeed headers and do before and after dyno's. I'm really curious to see if they can back up what everyone says because everyone recommends them, yet I have not seen any proof of the power they do or not make.

 

If you're interested in the Strup headers, which you will not be disappointed with - we are offering them at a great sponsorship deal this month! Pricing is MUCH better than you will find anywhere else.

Let me know if you have any questions!

 

Do I need an ECU flash with the strup headers or can I expect similar gains to the posted dyno without reflashing the ECU?

 

got it from ebay for $229

You don't have to get the ECU reflash in order to benefit from the performance gains of the Strup header, but the general consensus seems to be that the reflash would do ya good!

 

guys...support the sponsors of this site. ebay knockoffs are hit or miss junk(flange issues etc)and ebay is literally killing the marketplace. guys are out there willing to make literally a couple dollars here and there flooding the market with all these god knows what products. Take a look at bodykits for people that show vehicles. go buy a bodykit off ebay...a noname and see how it fits your vehicle. Its basically a trash mold just to sell a product.

Strup supports this site...knowing its quality is superb and customer support is incredible. I should know...we work with Strup exclusively for other makes as well. We choose Strup because Charlie Westrup was the GM for DC Sports for 25years and ventured off on his own knowing he can bring a great product to the market place. Support those who support you.

we love to support the sponsor but sometime, the price is just way too much. Between DC and Topspeed (the ebay link), the gain is not that much but pricing is almost half.
