Does a stock 2000 tl 3.2 have headers.......Does the type-s? How much HP gain would you get if you put type-s headers on a stock 3.2. What about obx headers, are they good and whats the HP gain? Do you need to change any other part of the pipes.

 

Neither of them have "headers" as standard equipment. The stock exhaust manifolds are cast iron, flow restricted design (probably for emissions). You could put the manifolds from a Type-S on a standard model but there would be no improvement, they're the same design. OBXs are headers (individual pipes from each exhaust port) and work just fine; as far as the HP gains, I've heard as low as about 5 to as much as 25 - 30. With headers, you get the exhaust manifolds and the Y-pipe to connect the two to your catalytic convertor; they're a direct replacement for the exhaust from the engine to the cat.

 

thanks for your help, so would it be a good idea to get new exhaust from the Cat back if i got thouses headers? I head that tls already have a high flow exhaust so anything except headers wont really help.

Also does anyone have headers, how much faster is your car now?

 

I would look for used Comptech headers, get a cold air intake and lightweight crank pulley....these three will drop you from approx 15.5 1/4 mile time to a 14.9 on a good day and the car driven right.

 

I have a set of ported headers that are 1 month old. I took them off after my car was broken into and vandalized. I'll let them go for $350 shipped. I'am in southern california. Let me know if your intrested. You will notice a big difference over stock guarteed

 

What kind of headers? Do you have pics...you can e-mail me at Simpson975@comcast.net.

 

I just sent you a email and picture

 

What type of headers, and pics, i am looking for some now, so I may be able to deal better than $350.

I just sent you an email did you get it

 

I got the picture, it was real small though. What kind are they....how old are they?

 

Honestly i don't know the brand but they are exactly like the obx one's and the are only a month old and are in excellent condition

 

well i can get brand new obxs shipped for like 325, so i think ill go with thoughs. Thanks though.

 

Yeah but they are not ported and if you install those headers and take them off you will see where the exhaust ring around the flange where the exhuast coming out of the head
