Installed the SG headers on my 06 revup this weekend. With the slip fit collectors and individual pipes this was a very easy install, well the left side anyway. The right side took about 3 hours getting the nuts on and tightened. Total time was about 8 hours with removal of OEM and install (and this was using jackstands rather than a lift).

The SG build quality and fitment is superb.

Looking forward to an SG tune and getting this thing on the track.

 

what other Mods u have? Please shoot vids

 

dyno results now....

 

I'm guessing you were able to install them without pulling out the engine? That doesn't sound that bad then.

 

These headers come in several different pieces, making install a breeze. Even if they DIDN'T come in several pieces, they may have still been easier to install than most of the 350z shorties out there.

Take a look at some photos of shorties vs these or even a cheap OBX/Megan long tube header....the long tubes typically have more overall length to work with, and thus don't have to make such aggressive bends to accommodate merging/equal length prior to the cats. There's less of a bulk of tubing near the exhaust ports (doesn't seem to stick out as far to the sides). Also, there isn't a huge flange like on a shorty where the header meets the cat...that can help some clearance issues in that area.

I seem to recall several posts of people saying that their Megan LT's were much easier to install than shorties for those reasons. Just working off of memory here

Edit: Felt the need to applaud Sasha again. Knowing the difference that a quality header can make, I'm a bit sad that there wasn't enough demand to keep these things selling and perhaps lead to the development of a set for us HR owners. I'm sure you feel a HUGE boost throughout the entire power band. I'm sure these headers help the car breathe better up top, but I'm much more interested in the midrange gains! 20whp at 4k rpms is percentage-wise much greater than 20whp at 7k rpms!

 

Got bored so put this together. A tongue in cheek plug from a satisfied customer.

More of track vid, but you get the idea of what they sound like. Windows were up by the way.

Really hating myself for missing out on these headers now. Megan LTs just wouldn't be the same...let alone any shorty headers.

 

figured i add my experience of the sgm LTH to this forum since the gdriver forum has no interest. well....atleast not as much as here.

couldn't get over the quality of these babies


getting them installed at the same time with my jwt clutch/flywheel combo






got my car dynoed and tuned back at the other shop where i always tune. video courtesy of my friend that was getting his 350z hr dynoed before me

the results..........



an hr with all bolt-ons dynoed 277whp 253wtq before i got on.

jus wanna thank sash for making not only such an amazing sounding header but one that also makes power. i knew the nonrevup wouldn't make the gains claimed for the revup but still am pleased with what i got. looks like i'll be getting cams soon

 

sounds umm amazing. All u need now is outside flyby vid

 

vid on the way......i jus wanna use something that will capture the audio decent. video sound never sounds as good as being there in person

 

still have the set available

 

 

 

Seriously man... this was like 8 years ago..HELLO?
