Is that the only place that sells them? You cant get them anywhere else for a little bit cheaper?

 

That's what I like about the Strup headers, they can be installed without lifting the engine. A good tech that has experience installing them can do it in about 2 hours.

The biggest advantage to headers is if you take the opportunity to get them coated. I didn't do a lot of before and after testing of the IAT, but the surface temps of my coated headers vs OE manifolds dropped ~150 degrees in similar weather / driving conditions.

 

what are the thoughts on force fed headers they claim to be equal length aswell and for a very good price point.

 

How much are they?

EDIT: nevermind, went to there site...$499 w/o shipping




^Hint, hint, hint

 

any views on them though collector design etc

you been sellin your headers for the longest lmao. lol you always make me laugh with your plugs lmao.

somebody can be talking about liek a GTR in a thread and you would be like , yea if the GTR was in NA form it would have very nice headers kinda made from the same material liek these , hint hint lol

 

Seriously

I'm such a loser when it comes to these headers. I swear to you right here and now, if these are not sold by the end of next summer, I will blow them up...literally.

 

Strup headers have shown gains before in a magazine shootout. Mostly midrange power and torque, theyre pretty good headers though. Alphawerks have shown gains, as have nismo and Crawfords.

 

happy with my "alphawerks"
jet hot coated black as well.

I contribute my 06 without a tune and 272hp 262tq to two things, my alphawerks and my mrev2 + 5/16

 

The nismo's gain power, especially in conjunction with HFC's/TP's---crawford's aren't the only one. I mean, as long as the headers are equal length, have a decent collector, and are of decent quality--they should provide gains.

Whether the hp/$ ratio for the headers (installation included) is worth it or not; is up to the individual person.

 

I'm so sick of reading people putting whatever part on their car and expecting it to gain all sorts of power everywhere

you gotta work the whole thing to get your money's worth out of the parts and see the true potential of those parts

it's like putting in faster memory in your computer and expecting huge gains in speed when in reality you won't notice any difference really. To get the big improvement, you gotta upgrade the motherboard to a newer platform, which also requires a new cpu and maybe a bigger power supply.

It's all gotta work as a total package and a lot of it depends on cams, tuning, displacement, compression ratio etc


making gains by changing just one single part is pretty much luck.
Later down the road when you're running a totally different setup, some of the parts that "lose" power might end up making power and visa-versa

 

can anybody else confirm that Strup headers can be installed without lifting the engine?

 

you mean confirm? Yes, you can install strup headers without lifting the engine.

 

unless you have small hands and arms you will need to "tilt" the engine slightly to reach the bolts. Unless you can work some voodoo magic and already have done it a hundred times.

 

are there any other headers that can be installed this way (without lifting engine)?

 

We had ro 'rock' my engine to get the DC Sport headers in... But there is a guy on the DIY forum that removed the under brace and didn't have to rock his engine to get them in. It's a PITA either way.

 

How much does getting headers jet hot coated usually run?

 

Does anyone know where I can get topspeed headers? I searched google and an ebay link came up but I don't trust ebay sometimes when it comes to car parts.

 

my mechanic and i did not lift the engine to install strup headers,
just took off cats, engine shield, air intake, strut bar, steering shaft,
and a/c compressor and belt, then had enough room but it was still
a pain-took us 7hrs on a lift, one thing that may have helped was if
he had some smaller tools-most of them were too long
