Like the title says. I'm looking for a good set of headers and I'm torn between these two. Anyone have any experience with these paired with the tdx2 exhaust?

 

Your best bet is with PPE, since it is one piece. Crawford I heard is good but is ridiculously expensive.

 

I heard good things about ppe

 

Would the crawfords flow well with the art pipes? I don't want to put them on and lose power. I heard shorty headers paired with good test pipes show similar gains to the longtubes. I'm just stuck lol

 

Not really stuck, what are you adding headers for again?

If you're staying NA can't think that one, two parts is gonna be where gains is at!

Also labor and tuning are other factors that go with headers

 

Yea I'm looking for gains. Right now I'm sitting at 277 whp with the tdx v2, art pipes, 5/16 spacer, intake, lightweight pullies, lightweight flywheel, and uprev tuned. Im looking for something that won't compromise the gains I already have.

 

What year Z?

 

2004

 

I had the PPE paired with the TDX2 (along with aftermarket cams). Gains all along the curve, there's a good amount of dyno information on the g35 forums about someone who went from ART+Momentum Headers to PPE Stepped/Unstepped on his DE.

+1 for PPE. Would definitely recommend their set of headers.

 

I have yet to hear the PPE LTH + TDX. Why doesn't anyone have this setup!?

 

because it is a very expensive setup, figure about 1300 for the headers, and then 1600 for the exhaust

 

I've got the exhaust, just need the headers. Just surprised no one else uses this setup currently

 

i have the exhaust also, and was going to pull the trigger on the poe, but decided to part ways with the Z at first of year

 

Doesn't the Crawfords exit at 2.5" and the ART inlet is 2"-2.25"? Also I too have the PPE and had great results although if you decide to go with the boosted performance kit [Which i'm interested for some time now], I'm going to need to remove the LTH...
