I could be wrong... pulsed flow systems are hard to design compared to constant flow systems.

If you are RHD, all these headers are useless to you as these headers will not clear your steering column. YOu should look into getting a JDM header.

Another pic of the Crawford headers....


Hand built to order, long-tube (that still work with stock cats in stock location), equal length, and true merge collectors (not three tubes stuffed into a can like the ones above).

FINALLY - Someone else who understands and can see and feel the difference in collectors.

Guys,

Since Nismo R tune headers won't fit into RHD Z. will the Crowford headers going to fit into RHD Z?

cheers,
Jerry

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no. I don't think any of our headers will fit a RHD, much like the RHD headers won't fit the LHD.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

any installation problems?

i think the r-tune headers are the best you can get to put them on the OE cats or on the kinetix (inlet should be 57mm).

ps: we have more than carbon parts, but thanks.

and now back in the states?

we want to fit: nismo r-tune header, kinetix cat (already installed), nismo s-tune y-pipe, nismo s-tune mid-pipe, greddy sp2 (already installed)

i'm not sure how big the outlet of the mid-pipe and the inlet of the sp2 is. i hope it will fit.

I've been considering them too. My question is, are they loud all the time? What I love about my current setup (Nismo catback), is that it's loud only when I'm in WOT and really cranking on the gas. Once I let go, the car sound is nice and quiet and you can do a long road trip or hold a good conversation without that anoying drone sound the whole time.

Any owners here can chime in,

I'm with davidv...

Even with the Nismo and Crawford headers, you still have a single pipe following the short-header, be it (stock, HFCs or TP) that simulates the collector found on Strup, DC, and my TOPSPEED. Does the "fancy merging collector" make a difference at 4k and above, probably... is it justified in price 4-5x what I paid for my Topspeed headers, probably not! Then we can get into some back pressure is better than none argument, LOL!

Bottom line, Crawford and Nismo are beautiful pieces worth the money if you have it to spend. IMHO of course, lol...
