On a stock D-jet 2.0, is there any benefit to going to header instead of the heat exchangers?I have the engine out, the exhaust off, and want to know the score.
I know that will loose cabin heat, but, well, it just aint that kinda car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) . Do the headers weigh any less then the exchangers? I have the old, rusty stock exhaust. Can I do better? I have read tht the stockers flow pretty well. But it is heavy as hell. Thanks Zach |

Well Headers damn well better make more power. and the Top of the line Header will be on my car by Christmas. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)
Grass Roots Motor Sports di the 914 project and reported gains in power from headers. Kind of did a bang for the buck comparision. Bursch 4-2-1 and 2.0 SSI seemed the best HP for thr dollar. I got that and now I want more |
