got stillen headers installed thanx to STREET IMAGE. they were great. couple things though.. my intake is running very hot now that i cant fit the heat shield over the header. i was told to run some thermo wrap around the intake. what does everybody think? also, car sounds raspy...anyone know where i can get resonators??? HELP

 

I did that after my headers were on. I went to Lowes and got insulated tape for hot and cold purposes.

Thanks Glen

 

did it make that big of a difference? or just make ur car run a lil better?

 

You can't really tell a difference, but it keeps cold air in the pipe instead of it heating up from the headers heat rising. I would do it, because its cheap to do around $5 for the insulated tape

My setup is custom i use the factory black pipe with insulated tape on it so it stays extra cool, because the metal pipe i had got hot from the throttle body connection solely because metal conducted more heat. Then from the MAF I have a rubber connector connected to a peice of aluminum pipe thats also has insualted tape on it. From that peice of pipe i have it connected to another piece of aluminum pipe ducted in front of my radiator with my apexi filter on it. The last piece of pipe i left alone because it stayed cool in the front of the car.

Thanks Glen

 

any pictures ?

 

I will take pics soon.

Thanks Glen

 

i don't have headers but i did this for aesthetic and heat control reasons. turned out great in IMO. wasn't difficult to install.





this is where i ordered this stuff from:

damn thats some nice heat wrap!

 

thanks for that site VitaminZ. ill definetely order that wrap.
still one problem tho...car is raspy..me no like!!! i need resonators...

 

I am just about to get the headers to go with my Stillen exh. and race-Pipes. Your right, there is rasp with the race-pipes, but there is extra power in the upper rpm's.

Have you dyno' your set-up?

 

sweet

 

Thanks LBSOHK. Just placed order.

 

No i have not dynoed it yet...Waitin til I get TS ecu and a couple other things. Didnt really notice that much of a difference though with the headers ...it does rev alot quicker though. Maybe ECU needs some time to adjust?? I hope thats the case
