Heres the header i bought off ebay. I got it for $190 shipped, and the quality of it isnt bad at all. I just dont like where they decide to weld their damn logo. Other then that, not bad at all for $200. I'll be doing a full review of this header once i get to installing it, with the help of tonka and mp5spicey.

Cool. If you don't mind, do you think you could get one of your helpers to go crazy with the digicam during installation? This is one of those mods that I think I might try sometime in the future, but I want to see what is involved first...

You can do what I did, take out the badge and be ready because it's loud....

Looks real good for $200. But I agree with you about where they welded their logo. It is really in the way.

What kind of sound difference could someone expect with a set of headers.

header volume increase still depends on how good your resonator and muffler are. if you have a canister exhaust, get some ear plugs. if you have some high density muffler like racing beat, there's virtually no increase in noise.

will do. no one really has done a full writeup/picture/video review, and i intend to do so. im gonna film before, and after. capturing the sound difference from inside and outside the car. also, ill try and film the install process, but at the least ill get pictures of what was done to get it installed. i bought this $120 capture card, so id better get some use out of it.

Wow, if i new there was this much interest, i would have done a how to on it. I got the Forza Header as well.

Its quite easy. I'll post pics of mine installed in 5 mins.

BTW, Forza Tuning in the UK made the header and OBX is just the USA distributor.

Exactly, on my Racing Beat Exhaust, stock on the MP3, there isn't much more noise, but a nice low growl at low RPM.

The car picks up better at mid-high RPMs

did you powdercoated them?

 

[SilentSno]

did you powdercoated them?

The headers? No. Nor did I do the ceramic coating everyone likes. I'm not worried about heat too much, once i have my custom CAI built anyway.

Plus if color is your worry, Eastwood sells some polish like stuff that you can apply to your header to put it back to shine like new. Works on stainless (like mine) or chrome headers.

it looks like he did. either or, that looks damn nice. purrrty

that damn badge bugs the crap out of me... i can't get over how ugly it is. sorry guys, but i would have taken a torch to it. ruins a perfectly beautiful header. damn forza.

 

[batmang]

[SilentSno]

I don't mind it, but i can take it off later.
