Which is better out of the two? Which has more gains and are they noticeable? Which is louder? What's the prices and how much would installation be?

 

Headers give 30whp if you can install it

 

I heard its closer to 40

 

whatever it is headers would be better. if we only could

 

Stop messing with him guys.

The only guy that makes headers for our cars is Ron A. PM him and he'll get ya hooked up.

 

^ really? What do they even look like on the 3G lol

 

Do you know the difference in gains from his headers compared to j pipe. And price difference

 

I thought they we welded on to the engine block on the 3G?

 

You obviously don't have a clue about what you are talking about.

Headers ftw on 3g's!

 

Get headers put on your 3g and tell me how it goes

 

if you havent noticed OP, on the 3rd gen TL the heads are cast on to the block.
so, we dont have the need for headers.

catalytic converters are coming off the heads; and we replace these cats with straight pipes.

Most everyone does the Jpipe mod first.
ya know to test waters to see if they would like to further mod the exhaust.

I did jpipe; and then wanted more power.
so, I bought Pre-cat deletes; or PCDs.
these straight pipes replaced the cats.

However there are drawbacks to PCDs.
with PCDs:

you might not pass emissions; depending on how strict your emission testing is.
2nd, there is a smell and sound that come with PCDs


since you're replacing the cats with straight pipe; you get a raw machine gasoline smell.
almost like a weed wacker.

the straight pipe is thinner in material; and as the exhaust gas passes through; it will emit a raspy sound.

 

^ awww party pooper

 

OP justn just gave you the answer to your question. I advise you to research the forum more often to get a better comprehension on what you are looking for.

 

Long tube headers. Or Tri Y's that go 4-2-1 for increased midrange torque.

 

Justn ruined it :P

No really though, I voted headers. Just imagine, cut the headers off the block and weld on some PnP ones that are 4 inches in diameter. w00t!

 

Im the only one that voted J pipe

 

Justin you suck.

 

on the contrary; you guise all suck for rehashing old 1999 vtec, blinker fluid, and red text jokes.

Get New Material!

 

heads are new material. Especially since in 1999 cars actually have headers while 2004+ have a single port outlet : )

Since red is played out I will use pink

 

save the

 

^ the boobies approve

 

those epic boobs

 

<-----------and thats how I feel when I get to play with them

 

 

So I think we scared the OP away. lol

 

damn someone else voted Jpipe! I wanted to be the only one
