Thanks Jason. SEE! It pays to just sit here constanty monitoring this web site...trolling for information and the occassional bargain!
:) hmm. my smile thing doesn't work. I think I need to look at my account thingy.

And the Performance website even had good things to say about the DC ceramic headers.

 

I am getting mine the middle of this week... I will be installing them as soon as I get my car back...

 

Like I said in the earlier PM...I am expecting mas dinero to be finally coming in (it's a good thing when invoices get paid) & I will decide which exhaust route to go...prolly will be Nismo. I then have you install the (hopefully) new DC headers & an new exhaust.

:) :) :confused: i'm so stupid, i can't make the smiley things pop up. i'm just a poor low tech guy.

 

Jealous WP?

Jason, I heard the Nismo exhaust today at Gainesville Nissan. It sounded kind of stock to me; do you think it does, too? But I must say, the quality of it looked very superb to me.

 

sounds like stock, but fuller and louder... especially once you put headers and high flow cats behind it

 

Headers + cats + Nismo exhaust = Monster sound @ WOT.

I did the Nismo exhaust first & the sound became deeper & more throaty especially at 4k+ RPM. But, when the headers & cats were added, the sweet sound became a sweet ROAR - I love it!!

 

also over time it starts to sound better....


oh yeah and LOVETOCLOWN... the reason why you havent been getting reply's to your PM's to me... YOUR PM BOX IS FULL!

 

Sorry Jason. My box said it was at 16%. I cleaned it out to 11% so I hope it will work now. Last time it stoped PM's at 20%. Strange.

What helps get the exhaust sound a little louder, Cats or the Y-pipe? The Headers helped very little.

 

Are the headers going to rust quickly?Is it better to save for stainless steel?

 

I think I read that the SS ones are about $370 from www.Summitracing.com

 

CLEAR YOUR SENT ITEMS FOLDER

that doesnt show in the percentage full... and I know you have alot of sent to me atleast :P

 

If you live in a envrionment that has alot of salt in the air or has alot of salt on the road in winter I would not recomend a ceramic coated header...

go with stainless steel if you plan on using the headers for the life of the car...

with summits price... i believe they are sold out... im curious to see what happens when they get the real price guide for DC's headers...

we will have them in stock when they do and we have them in stock now...

 

Ceramic will keep the under hood temps down compared to ss. Thinking of having mine jet hot coated.

 

but at the same time you do not want to over heat the exhaust system...

 

Overheat the exhaust system??????????????????

What in the hell are you talking about?

 

well...keeping all of the heat in the exhaust piping will heat up the exhaust system... and not let as much heat dissipate...

i dont remember the exact reasoning behind it... but i remember talking with someone about heat wrapping the rear section of the mid pipe to keep from overheating the half shaft to keep it from breaking... and they were afraid of the heat wrapping over heating the exhaust system...

 

You were mis-lead...

... and for the majority here, it will NEVER effect them.

Maybe some of the FI guys/gals, but that's about it. Even then, it's not the exhaust they need to worry about getting hot, it's the engine itself...

If your headers are "over-heating" it's too late. For example BJs pictures of the headers he had glowing red... ironic he started blowing motors after that right? That much heat is an indication of running WAY too lean.

 

I do not know what they ended up doing to fix the problem... but... yes it wont effect everyone... but I cant talk in detail of the problem or even exactly what the problem is... and I know you dont know the details of it... but it is not a problem that a street car will ever see...

 

english please?

 

I cant talk about it why a case of the exhaust getting a few degreese too hot caused a problem...

but... 99 percent of the cars on this board to not have to worry about the problem...
