New header from singapore

Not good, not good at all. the welds look like crap, the tubes aren't equal length, and there are sharp bends. All 3 add up to waste of money and a lost in hp/tq. I'll stick to Grade A U.S craftsmanship on this one.....

 

i want them to make a new set of intake headers...thats what i am waiting for...

 

^^ that would be called an intake manifold

 

^^+1

 

ya ur right, manifold, keep forgetting about...

 

I wouldn't take them if it looks like this crap.....

 

hell no...didnt someone say a while back they were doing a manifold??was this RRM??

 

no it was from pride performance here's there link http://www.pride-performance.com/index1.html . i just emailed them so when ever the send a email back i will let you know

 

^^great man....thanks

 

i been wondering about the manifold myself, hopefully its almost done

 

An intake manifold is the least of our problems. It really should be one of the last mods done. Strong internals with pnp heads and cams should come way before an aluminum or cast intake manifold. Without them, gains would be very minimal with just a intake manifold.

 

you do have a point!!

 

Seriously, with the current mods out (besides turbo) a different intake manifold may yield 2-3 whp depending on design. Not really worth it at this point in the game. Right now the intake manifold isn't the weak spot in the car.

 

i agree to an extent. i do think a properly constructed IM will yield more than 2-3whp if combined with a BBTB on a boosted motor. more than just whp will be gained from it. better throttle response is one great feature of a properly constructed IM.... although the drive by wire system may damper the performance of such mods.

but on another note, internals would be nice to have either way

 

I never said that the 2-3whp would be on a boosted car. Take a peek at what I said:

 

since were kinda on the subject.. would cams be a bolt on MOD or would it be something that would be done by a professional and have the car professionally tuned... and what exactly do cams do? been tryin to look it up but came up empty...

 

False young Jedi. I have posted my dyno on EvoM 1.5 years ago.

 

While Cams "can" be considered a bolt on, I would NOT recommend it if you are not very skilled in mechanical things and don't have the right tools. As for what they do they are kinda like your lungs. They determine how long your valves stay open, which determines how much air you suck in and how much you blow back out the exhaust.
