Hey whats up guys, i have an 01 gsr and im hoping maybe you guys can help me out. I bought the car earlier this year with 26k miles completely stock.. except coilovers and and 5 zigen fireball catback exhaust. I recently put in an AEM shortram and im enjoying the top end throttle response. This is my daily driver (college student) and i have no intention of modding this car yet because i love it .. hehe.. (its to low of miles to start messing with in my opinon) plus CA is a bitch with smog, but back to the subject i was curious if anyone would have an idea what kind of CA legal headers i could get that would complete this exhaust system. Im looking for a bit of low end tq which i feel is being choked.. any suggestions ??? and dont flame lol im scared =]

 

you're going to have to get a name brand header to get one that will be C.A.R.B. legal.

That would mean you should look into 2.0" diameter headers made by someone like Comptech/DC Sports/Greddy/etc

 

thanks for the try... im not a complete noob.. lol i know about headers.. im just asking a specific question if anyone has had experience with the position im in.. im looking for a bit of low end torque and i wasnt planning on leggo builden but the car came with the exhaust.. any other suggestions a little bit clearer and more spcific ??

 

I think dcsports makes some decent tri-y headers. in any case go with a tri-y cause they are better for low end power.

 

any tips or pointers on deciding what i need... meaning with the intake and ctback so far ?!?!??! i know its not much hp gain but whats done is done ... and untill i boost it i enjoy the slight throttle response difference... ! and on an unrelated topic des anybody have enough knowledge to answer that question and the question of a muffler that looks not stock but has a big body like a stock one. what i mean is i have seen a bunch of peiople with different mufflers that dont restrict airflow but are not cans (cops mess with me ... and i drive fast lol). Maybe a picture would help but im trying to get drunk tonight lol so im off but it looks and sounds quiter than a can. and it resembles a stock exhaust

 

Don't know about the header issue, but for the muffler, I bet you're talking about the RSR ex-mag or the Apexi WS2. search for pictures.

 

that was the exact muffler... haha im trying to trade my 5 zigen muffler for that or a type s/ r muffler because im not boostin until i graduate college (2 yrs more or less) ... but man i really need some headers to complete my system.. i just dont know what =\
