Just installed the headers /air by pass suck

Im officially in the headers club. Let me tell you guys this is the BEST 300$ I have ever spent on my car. The power gains are really amazing. I dont mind the low resonance between 3-4k rpm as some people say I actually think it sounds mean and unique not
like a rice moblie at all I cant wait to take it to the track once I get my new rims and tires. (proxy 4s)

Anyone else here thinks out cars with headers sound like a g35 with that unique sound the g35 gives out at low rpms??

Anyway on the install it took me and my friend 3 hrs to do. It prob would have taken 1.5hrs tops, but lunch, dicking around ect turned into a 3 hrs job. THe install its self was pretty staright foward the only bitch was geting to the rear headers. I got my hand stock up there a couple times.

Also the aem air by pass valve i also installed his weekend sucks. DO NOT GET IT It takes away from the mean growl of the aem CAI and I swear if info on these things
NO hoor stories on this INSTALL

chap i hear you on the heavy foot, i think i already caught that symptom a long time ago, now the foot is made out of platinum instead silver LOL. the best place to get the headers is ebay. I got them for 310 shipped from tuning depot. Anyone else who has the air by pass valve think it takes away from HP?

Congratulations, man.

Too bad I'm already used to the additional power and my car feels slow. Time for another mod again.

Judging by his screen name I'd say he has a 6 speed which OBX doesn't make a 6 speed version.. You'll have to wait for the stone headers..

NO2 would blow the shit out of your engine. You want N2O.

Do N2O. the best part is you never feel it hit the power is so smooth. I used a NX wet kit that I bought for $600 and installed myself. Well worth it.

Well kind of. I ran it into a wall going 90 over a year ago. I have another one but have not touched it performance wise. I never had engine trouble. Ran NX on three cars with no problem. If you abuse it the tranny will go but just be smart about it.

See, that's another gripe of mine about The Fast and The Furious. When they hit the nitrous button, they act like it's a surge of massive power. I mean, if they are running like a 300-shot, then yeah, it's understandable. But


I want to get nitrous, but I've just been doing a ton of research lately. I'm pretty confident that it will be fine, but as some of you know, I don't exactly have good luck with mods on my car.
