Man, Nissan really didn't want to make these headers user serviceable, did they?

I was always under the impression that our exhaust manifolds were pretty decent OEM material. Headers is kind of a waste of money, IMO.

They're not bad design wise, but they're quite heavy, and certainly have quite a pinch point at the collector.

Long Tube Headers will free up some noticeable power when paired with a good tune. I'd love to go completely catless to remove that weight/restriction as well, but i've gotta meet class rules somewhere.

I haven't a doubt in my mind that by mid may, i'll be over 300hp at the wheels.

revups respond a bit better than the older DE... but I still probably wouldn't waste the $ or effort on headers. a lot of work for minimal gains

Looking to buy a new gas grill. I want something a little smaller than my 5 burner. Saw one at Target, but they are all sold out in the metro area. Went to Amazon and found out it may ship in a month or more.

So now I'm looking at other options.

Either way, I'm selling my 5 burner if anyone's interested.

It's an HR. Most of the data i've seen says they respond pretty well to proper long tubes, as he merge point of the stock headders is somewhat pinchy, despite their design.

revup/HR... same difference... both respond better than the DE.

either way, be a real man and boost it, install time is about the same

Well.. i'm about ready to punch a few dozen babies.
370z LTH... DO NOT FIT. The drivers side unit is hitting the firewall and chassis something feierce. I can't even get it down on to the studs.

I've got a call out to PPE this morning to see if they have any of their sets in stock.. if they don't, i guess it's the test pipes i've got in the garage, and continue with my y-pipe high flow cats.

Really wish i'd pulled the gun on the used set that popped up on here last month...
