I've had the Alphawerks Headers and UR Crank pulley sitting in the garage for about 2 months and now they're finally in. I had a shop install them for $250 (3.5 hours). They had installed OBX headers on a TLS before and weren't impressed with their fit but said the Alphawerks headers fit fine but they were tight - not much flex where it's supposed to flex. They also noted that the O2 sensor was darn close to another component...(tranny? i forget what they said). They were also surprised at how much I got them for considering how much Comptechs are.

Anyway, I haven't had a chance to open her up but so far so good.

 

so open it up and report back ASAP....pronto....10-4

 

yep, awaiting report back. I can considering gettin some headers.

 

 

If you are going to get any mod go with the headers.. The difference is truely night and day..

 

and I am still waiting for that link to the torch we used when we installed your headers.

 

yea the o2 sensor touches the oil pan which gets hot so dont be suprised if ur 02 sensor goes out....

 

Cool. I can't wait to feel what all you guys brag about. Too bad I'll have mine in just when it starts snowing.
Enjoy.

 

Did you have it done at PPI? I think the TLS they installed the OBX headers on was my old one.

Have fun with teh headers!

 

I'm about 2 seconds from dropping some loot on AW groupbuy...

So it's that much of a difference?

Even in a tl-p?

I may bite tonight at some point.

 

aw man, i didn't need to read that

 

is that you ryan? yeah, i got it done at ppi - they weren't too enthused that i didn't bring them comptechs to install thinking that they'll have to mess with the fitment. they were saddened to hear about your TLS.

 

Enjoy the headers and pulley combo.

I did them both separate from each other and I can honestly say they both make a noticeable difference in their own way.

 

headers own

congrats

 

Congrats man. Was a big difference when I went from the OBXs', back to stock, and thats sucked soo much, I bought the CT's and back in the game.

 

It's not a mod you would ever regret buying..

 

No biggie, My OBX crap headers were lettign the 02 sensor toucht the headers and trip off the check engine light. That gave me some weird horspower gains and the worst gas mileage (go figure). I had the shop relocate the bung and cap off the old one, with a new sensor, everything was back to normal.

 

how much do pulleys cost?

 

See this groupbuy for more info..

Well the butt dyno definitely tells me that there is a bunch more power!! if i'm not mistaken, the engine is also revving a lot easier...getting up to 5000+ rpm with ease. i don't know if that's the headers or the crank pulley. i also notice a different engine note...a little more rumble at the 2750 to 3500 rpm range. it's a different car now that's for sure.

so far the alphawerks headers and UR crank pulley are a Considering i only paid about $600 for the parts and installation, I absolutely cannot complain.

Good luck to those considering the headers. You won't be disappointed!

 

yea i think i got that goin on... the mechanic that helped me install them told me to have the shop reposition the bung.... havent done it yet and my mileage is now worse

 

That's the pulley. First time i drove it after the install i noticed how quick the tach moves compared to b/f it was on.

Sounds like you're enjoying that new power.

 

Just sent in my payment for my Alpha Werks Headers yesterday. I cant wait till I get mine! I'm going to get Scalbert to help me on the installation. Just now I feel broke...

 

Cmark how do you like the HR with Tokico set up? How was the feel compared to stock? I know there is a difference but do not want to sacrifice to much. I come from the Mitsu camp and dealt with slammed cars and the crap drive. Any reason you choose HR over Comptech? Thanks!

 

i got the obx headers and a dyno tuned unichip in the same week and as jonesi said its night and day.....
