Can't decide which Header to get

[mini_FD]

how much would he sell it and what would i need to do for install and programming? and i still owe 9 more months of payments so i might as well have fun with it. btw ill add close to 20 more hp with the ecu header and exhaust wouldnt you think? I already have injen cold air, tein basic damper, hks exhaust, stage 2 act clutch, and poly urethane mounts.

 

[mini_FD]

so ractive header or awr?

you WOULD think, but, sadly, our cars just don't respond well to mods.

With intake, header, midpipe, catback, ECU, and vtcs'less intake mani, you're prob gonna top out at 115 hp max

and it all depends on your budget as to which header. AWR's, if you can find em, aren't cheap.

Ractive, i might be willing to let mine go.

can i ask if you did any suspension mods? As i said, these cars are NOT drag racers!

Put some sticky tires and a stiff suspension and see how well you do around an autox track compared to your buddies SI or GSR

anyways, he's not asking if he can race his car, he's asking what header would net him the best gains.



And most any will do about the same, i think the only one that would be any different would be the AWR cause it's a true 4-2-1 header instead of the 4-1's out there

What gain exactly? Couldn't tell you, but, in theory, it flows better

Only suspension mod's i had were. Tokico struts and MM, RB Springs riding on some yoko parada Spec II's. Let me just say i could out launch any car with these tires with my mod's.

I knew the MP3 can outrun the SI and GS-R in the corners. But back in 01-02. Drag racing was the scene. I didn't start drifting till 04

so ractive header or awr?

Ractive 4-1 is better for mid-top end
4-2-1 Is a better for low-mid end, there's no top end with the race header

Exactly what i have been trying to tell him.....You're taking my post the wrong way though. This is what i have been trying to explain to him

ah, ok, i read it as you knockin putting money into the car. lol

No worries bud. Sorry, my bad

 

[mini_FD]

they are about 500.00 which is my budget for the header but if i can get quality and bang for my buck then i might go ractive. I havent done any research on ractive but is it jet coated chrome?

Lol, It's all right.(dance) I was just simply stating how much money i spent and so little gain's that the FS freed up. Doesn't do much....but at the time, i was kind of happy. Not as much as i knew i spent to much money. I love Mazda always and i currently own the two car's in my sig and a 93 MX-6 LS that I'm trying to get running. (OOO)Out of order right now...hehe

 

[mini_FD]

Mine was kind of chrome i think, after awhile it started to burn purple/blue. I'm not sure if it was Stainless steel or chrome, i know it wasn't jet coated though, damn it's been a long time since i had my MP3. Got rid of the MP3 in 05(confused)

 

[mx-p5]

yeah, i've modded about all the bolts ons you can do, minus a midpipe and loved the car!!

But, demodding and selling to pick up a miata to save the car payment i'm making on mine, plus i get topless cruising

 

[mini_FD]

well i bought the car back in 05 and some of these mods where already done on them except the engine swap which i did but just completing the previous owners dreams lol

 

[mx-p5]

here's a crappy pic of mine, it's not the most beautiful thing right now, but, if you ship it off to get jet hot coated, it'll sparkle!

And, i'll only ask $150 shipped, or, shoot, i could meet up with ya and hand deliver it Sat afternoon, we're headed to Orlando

I can't justify to say. I mean, The tread life on these tires are only good for around 15-18000 miles. I drove mine till i put around 22K on them and started to rip. I purchased 3 set's of these tires back when they cost $89 each on tirerack. That was quite a bit ago, so I'm sure they probably cost a little more now.

If i were you and if you get an aftermarket clutch and flywheel, Motor mounts. I'd say go for the yoko's!

 

[mini_FD]

awr no longer makes the header... calling corksport

 

[mini_FD]

thats a tease for the header

That looks like the header i had on mine. Isn't that the Ractive 4-1 header?

 

[mx-p5]

i'm actually in Port Saint Lucie, just south of ya. We'll be coming up Saturday and headed back home late Sunday night, but, i got no problem meeting up with ya half way any other time if not this weekend

 

[mx-p5]

yup, 4-1
