i am getting alphawerks header in the next few days, and i am wondering if i need a complete new exhaust installed along with the header? I have heard from my friend that if you are putting a a new header in, a new exhaust system will be needed as well for some air flow reason?? if not, i will just have the header installed first, and then worry about the exhaust system later on. Thanks in advance.


i searched, but didnt find the answer i am looking for exactly.

 

You dont really need a new exhaust system to go along with you headers. Do you have a Type-S? Type-s exhaust systems are pretty free flow. I would recommend a new exhaust system if you had the premium. I heard headers make a world of difference alone, have fun driving....

 

Just got a set , install on monday, let you know how it runs

 

a whole neew exhaust system only adds like 5-8 hp and will cost from $600-1000 for a new cat back systems. Headers are supposed to add around 20 hp

 

More like 30... but it depends on the S or non-S.

 

dont under estimate out headers haha

 

yes, i have a type S.
okay cool... then i am just gonna order the alphawerks header and have it installed and run without new exhaust system. heard the alphawerks header dyno result is similar to the ct's... we'll see..

 

b4 you get them call uncle motorsports (305) 888- 8368 they killed every price i got. their prices w/ shipping and handling was better then like 90% of the other places i called

 

yes, that's the place i am getting my aw header from. thanks man.

 

If it was better than 90% of the other places you called... why didn't you buy from one of the places in the remaining 10% that had a better price

 

Where are you getting them installed?

 

 

Hi there,
I am not sure yet, I have been calling a couple performance shop to get installation price quote. One of them wants $400, what a rip off. I see you are from Md too... So do you have a place to recommand? Thanks man.

 

If anyone needs prices on Alpha Werks headers let me know. PM me for pricing.

I see there are some very affordable Headers for the AT CLs out there on Ebay. Many are $200 to $300.

I would have a shop install them if purchased.

Any reccomendations??

 

I just had the Alphawerks headers installed on Monday here in Boston for $150, and there are no leaks or resonance. $400 for the install seems like a rip off.

 

yo bro i'm from gburg too, around the rockville area, thinkin about gettin the aw's as well. once you get em installed, tell me how they worked out and where u got em done.

 

just got a cat back system for $450

 

I ended up switching to comptech headers, its real nice... and i love the sound from the b-pipe as well... aw headers are good too, and I got my aw from excelerate... but I heard there's been problem with the new batch, good luck with it though...

I tried both, I feel the gain for both are similar... and i installed mine myself because all the places I called were asking for 300 or more...

 

what brand??
