Hey guys I've been meaning to put up a bunch of threads of my car and the installs i have recently done... but ran into some family things etc... anyways everything is sorted out and I've just had time to install my Doug Thorley Shorties!
To start i was going to do these myself just like everything else but i had a good friend of my dad that owed him a favor, so i scored on some nice install on headers!!
I brought the car in and they told me instead of doing a regular install of welding the down pipe to the header we will weld some flanges to each pipe and make it easier for you in case you needed a quick dissemblance. It turned out great and it even helped me worry less about a quick removal just in case... so we finished the install i drove home, and noticed a Exhaust leak!!
I went back the next day and long behold the paper gaskets they used that they told me would not hold up between the flanges failed... so i purchased two copper gaskets from a local performance shop and put them on and BAM like brand new!
My Opinion- I LOVE THEM!!! Amazing headers.. sounds great paired up with the Flowmaster American Thunders, more of a Purr now and you can DEFINATELY feel the seat of the pants dyno it pulls a lot harder in the high RPM's, and my MPG went up too i drive pretty it pretty hard sometimes but i still manage 20-22 all city!
And the icing on the cake is that after installing i went to another local performance shop and decided to get dynoed!!! I'm stock otherwise headers and Flowmasters... sold Injen for new Vararam so this is stock intake with stock filter. I put down 238RWHP and 250RWTQ ... that is after 1.5 hrs of driving the car so definitely some heat soak in 28 degree Celsius weather (Canada)! not to bad here is the dyno sheet and pictures of headers
Heres a dyno video:
Enjoy and Discuss!
