Wow I didn't know so many people liked these headers, I was going to do pacesetters on christmas break but I'll definately look into these.

 

What size are the primaries on these things? Seems like I heard some brand of chinese headers using small primaries.

 

wow, those things look good! i think i will ditch my plain pacesetter's and go with those. damn, i hate wasting money!

 

Me too! I guess I'll do it to have everything else.

Oh! I almost for got my buddy have these headers ,an he use the Texas speed ypipe with the catts.

 

1 3/4" primaries and 3" collector. Even shows pics in the sale ad with a tape measure showing the sizes.

 

i have a set i installed on my car and i am not happy with them at all. it an a4 car and i belive they fit better on m6 cars from the work ive done. they look great i will give them that. i had the heads off which made the install easier. the fit....sucked. i had to grind ALOT out of my k member which i wasnt real happy about. ill give it a little bit to worn motor mounts. BUT soon after the install and work was done i was just driving down the highway when one of the emission port tubes on the passenger side primary broke off! i was pissed! and no it wasnt hitting anything before anyone asks that. i just tig welded the ports shut and didnt hook any emissions back up, either way you get what you pay for and i should have spent the money on kooks. just my experience.

 

mine were easy to install had to grind tab off block, other than that they were a well fit, feels to be quicker, getting tuned by frost next wek so may see better gains after the tune

 

1 negative out of a huge amount of positive's isn't bad for under $200 coated. So an air tube broke off when nothing was touching it? Innnteresting You must be a kooks guy.

 

Ill be going to Frost also.

 

Fixed! Even better

 

just got my headers today and they are pretty nice.. now lets see how they fit and how they perform.. but hey 180 shipped

 

so anybody with an A4 ls1 get them on with no fitment issues? 117xxx mileage car

 

if you have fitting issues its your motor mounts gone bad.

 

I have an auto car and I had to do some grinding and bending to get them to go on. I also had the same problem as one of the other guys, the long emmisions tube on the passenger side broke off for no reason and I had to weld the hole up. So word of advice, these are decent headers but if you aren't going to use any of the emmisions system, cut the long tube off of the passenger side header and weld the hole shut before you install them. It'll save you some headaches later

 

FWIW I have seen this on many many sets of Hookers and Pacesetters as well; the air pump tunes breaking I mean.

 

What Y pipes are you guys running with these? How is the fitment with the Y's that you all chose?

 

I had a muffler shop custom fab a y pipe for me.

 

The Y pipe I used was a stainless Y that came as a set. This was last year though

 

A friend of mines use a tsp ypipe.

 

Just got mine back from the shop today, after the header install, and custom H-pipe. The shop said they slid right in. And I've got a '98 T/A 6speed, with 128k on the stock motor mounts. I definately noticed a big gain in power. But, I'm also coming from an all stock exhaust system.
