Long Tube Headers

Wills01GT · Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2009 10:33 pm Post subject: Long Tube Headers

ok since I am replacing the suspension entirely with a max motorsports kit I have been thinking of changing out the headers as well. To a long tube set up, that way when I tune it I get the most out of it.

What are the best?
Size?
Most efficient?

What else will I need to install the headers, I have a UPR X-Pipe no cats with a borla exhaust and dont want to loose the parts. I like not having cats on my car.

i think certain u might have to get the same brand because ive heard that mismatching they will not fit right.

same brand?
I dont plan on mismatching headers....if that is what you mean. If not than I am lost....

i think what i'm trying to say is ive heard like the mac headers not matching up with other brands for exhaust

^+1 every companies header is sized up and made for the same companies midpipe. if you try to mix the upr x pipe with say bbk headers, they may not fit properly together

yes stick to one brand.. lol it depends on how much you want to spend kooks is real good but really expensive

LT's would be a great addition. Kooks are one of the best headers on the market.

If you are putting in longtubes you will have to replace your x-pipe anyways. Not sure on the 2v but on the 4v the only way to do headers is to drop the k-member, and I have heard about clearance problems with most longtubes, clearance to the ground that is, not sure how low your car is, also Bassani makes a mid-length but you would need their mid-length h-pipe. To keep your UPR x-pipe you will have to go with shorty headers. On my fox body I used MAC Headers and Prochamber with Flowmaster cat-back, on my Cobra I have stock manifolds with Prochamber and SLP Cat-Back haven't had a problem bolting anything together.

I am looking at Bassani's Mid Length Headers and I guess I will have to get the X-Pipe to go with it.
Holcomb Motorsports carry the parts. Do they offer discounts to us?

As for dropping the K-Member, I am replacing it. A new one comes with the suspension from Max Motorsports.

Ok cool thanks, they sell bassani so I hope to get a decent discount.

Ok so I ordered the Bassani Mid-Length Headers from Blake at Holcomb along with the mid pipe needed.

They will be here by friday.

Still waiting on the damn suspension.
