finally got to throw the ebay header in the trash today, litterally....in the trash. HAHA got my kiddracing header in the mail and within the hour got it on... my car is a bone stock lsv, i made 149.1 whp wit a crushed ebay header. within the next week ill be dynoing this header with nothing else done but daily driving. but for now heres a shot of my bay (pictures taken from my DROID...lol!!)

 

In for numbers.

Car would look fantastic w/a color matched hood.

 

Should of kept the ebay header and done a back to back test. It would have been a better comparison.

 

in for results. There are 100's of ebay headers though, which one?

 

Subscribing to thread. I hear stories of big power gains but have yet to see dyno sheets from anyone but the seller. Does it glow like that all the time since you got it?

 

i bet if the ebay version was a copy you wont make much more hp, a dented header can yeild a good amout of power!, iv used high end tri y headers and switched to ebay version tr y headers and they make just about the same power out the setup. was the header a tri y desighn or a 4-1 or 4-2-1? that header looks good and should give some good gains low to mid range.

 

clean

 

The oold header was a 4-1 wit a 2 and a 1/4 inch collector. No cat wit a straight pipe. 149.1 now my car makes 161.7 hp. Wit a kiddracing rmf rep header. no cat...2.5 inch collector wit 2.5 inch test pipe into a 2.25 mandral bent wit a resonator and a oem stock 04 s2000 muffler. Lolllll so quiet!! I def feell like my setup is choked too. I want to have a 2.5 inch pipe made to a 2.75 inch muffler. What do u guys think? I could prob b in the 165s?

 

Same dyno?

 

How much was the header?

 

Was the header PLM brand? What was the quality like of it?

 

Did you get it dyno'd with the RMF on yet?
