Default so my cross over piece is dead, upgrade or replace

As the title states my cross over piece is making my wastegate hit the driveline causing a horrible vibration.
should I just get a cross over piece, or get headers too or what?

will I lose tq w/ the stage two headers?
will I gain much hp?
will there be more lag?

my mods:
t04e/6 with .50 trim
3" ss exhaust from downpipe back
no cat
'87 headers
55# injectors
adj fuel reg
vitesse chips
autoauthority MAF
widefire hg

I think that's it

I have money but I am trying to save for a house.



895 - 1095

vs.



1899 - 2199

vs.



545 - 695, 295 for coating

vs.



160

gurus please offer your advice, post what you voted and why too!

^ where should that stem lead to (in the last pic)?
it goes nowhere on my current piece (exhaust leak!)

oh yeah what grade should I get?

and oh yeah (again)
my plans for the car:
as much power with the least amount of lag
and to keep the boost around 15-20 psi
all bolt -ons though, no internals (maybe a cam)
because when the engine goes I will probabley throw a 968 turbo engine and tranny in there.

Damn those SFR headers look incredible! There was a dyno test of them on the European Car mag. If you have the money and want a HP monster, then they would be great. I love the v-band on the SFR stuff as well.

Hard choice though!

He swears that the stage 2 does not lose torque. It will gain HP. He also says that he has had problems with the 304 only in a race environment.
That stem needs to be capped, it is a big leak. It is for a factory emmissions test tube that screws onto it and comes up into the engine bay and has another cap on it. This top cap was to be removed for emmissions testing.

^ thank you.
maybe this is why I have a pulsating (sp?) boost and can't get above 15 psi.

You cant make more than 15psi? Damn that sucks. Would that impact boost that much?

my goal is to upgrace the suspension next. but damn engine parts keep breaking!

overall I would be happy with 350 rwhp @ 15 psi

until I had all the suspension widebody brakes wheels paint and etc out of the way then lastly back to the engine!

Their stage 1 is a replacement for the stock headers....

The LR x-pipe is basically stock as well.........

I don't see why they wouldn't fit (SFR Stage 1 Headers + LR X-pipe)


Quick Reply: so my cross over piece is dead, upgrade or replace
