Choice

Hello.

Can any one tell me if they had to choose between geting a header install or the piping upgraded to a 2 inch pipe, which one would you do first and which one will give better results if you only do one?

Thanks

i can't tell you bout better result but i would get the piping done first.
reason being you will only have to weld the headers once.

one will compliment the other and each will only perform as good as the other does

Dave is correct.If you are upgrading your exhaust manifold, you don't want them to have a restrictive exhaust line diameter.They kinda compliment each other

OK I guess I start with the Pipe and work my way out from there...

i beg to differ....i did the same mod to my b14

Firstly, correct me if i'm wrong, u will lose power running big piping without any engine mods.

Secondly, when u do the piping first u have to weld back the original flange to the new big piping (one weld) but then wen u put the hedders on u have to cut off the excess big piping to facilitate the length of the hedders and then weld them back together (more welding).

what i did is i made arrangements with my mechanic the previous day to go by him early the next day and then after i drove my noisey car to the muffler man and got everthing done....by lunch time i was done!!!

doh forget yuh have tuh weld on ur barrel too..so das more welding..better do it one time instead of having tuh put out more money to do it.

exactly my point you only weld the headers once.

But ent he considering to do one at a time?? So I say the big piping would be too long cause it have to reach the exhaust manifold.....and wen u put the hedders u wud have to push back/cut d piping cause d hedders reaching all under d car?!!

[UML]

So by putting d hedders first u just have to cut off small pipe by d flange and replace with big pipe....

Can't get better advice than that!

thats true what UML is saying, do the headers first since u may use less exhaust piping. my mistake was using the local made resinators which suck!!.
TSC on the forum has a hiflow resinator, look into that if u hav the extra cash (its about 200 more than a local one) and dont forget a flex joint if u may need it

what kinda car btw?
