We were doing a stage IV GT2 today and installing the EVO K24 headers (which are a breeze to install btw) but a few of you with K16 cars wanted to see the K16 headers as well as the K24 headers so here they are. This is my last set for a week or so hence I'm saying good bye to 'em

Is that you looking to see how white your teeth are?

That's one for the caption competition!

Hell no that's no me.. I never show myself clothed in public. That's actually the owner.. Great guy, funny as hell but he was pretending to do some work and helping us do the install

Here he is getting ready to leave to watch Broke Back Mountain....

Why is he Pissin on the car?

Thought it was best to get rid of that image, before I get a roasting!

Those headers looks awesome Alex. Any reason not to do ceramic coating?

Our other two loos were occupied I guess

Hey Ron,

Actually we do take those locally to a place to get that done but having tested out EGT's it really made very little if any difference even on my car I found heat wrap from thermotec to give slightly better results but then again in a climate where it rains a lot you don't want to do that

Joe Weinstein

I find myself wondering why no aftermarket header manufacturers try insulating their
headers like Porsche does, with another layer of sheet metal, with a sealed air
gap between? I can imagine it's not easy to do, but if Porsche can mass-produce
them, and it makes enough difference for them to do so...

Hi Joe, it's a good question and not something I haven't brought up before.. but then again I end up just heat wrapping and/or coating them....

Alex, for those of us, modded but no internals and under 600hp what would your recommendation be for the headers. I will soon have the 100 cell fabspeed cats and straight pipes and the ECU flashed (not sure by who yet!) but will probably be around 500-550 hp and plan on staying there to major engine rebuild.
I thought stock header was pretty good. Do you mod the stock header or do you know of something that would be better for my car as described above. I love exhaust modds if they actually do something!!! I dont care what they look like they are under a car that is lowered.....duh!!

Give us some suggestions and then I'll call ya!!!!

TIA

Tom, with that power range mod the stock headers.. Not to take any sales away from Alex, but the stock short tube headers will spool the K24 sooner. Sooner boost equals more torque/power under the curve.. Now if you are in the 750-800HP range that is a different story..

sharkster

Heya Tom, as Kevin says, there are cheaper and more efficient ways to make power than on headers and the results we've seen on dynos for 600HP level 4 cars has been an additional 20-25odd HP. I'd do the other mods first and if you want to eke out a few more then it's always an option The best place to start is an ECU mod! They do look nice under the car but are an additional inch lower (just an FYI) than stock.
