been meaning to change the exhaust headers for two years as the old ones were rotten and more steel weld putty than metal,heres a few pics

soaked the studs in plus gas last night


the bolts came off no hassle this morning,this is a portion of rotted header

new headers on





these are going to the tip


just took her for a spin and alls good,seems to be more power throughout the rev range with no flat spots

only if you dump the stock can then your looking at a dynojet and set up,i had a good run after i fitted them and noticed i hadnt lost any bottom end ,if anything it seems to have gained a bit more poke and the midrange is stronger,theres no flatspots at all

Same if you put an aftermarket can on, you wont notice any loss down low or flat spots, and gain more top end. The ex-up valve in our old ace was seized, so we took the inners out and slapped it back together so it was a straight through header makes it sound a bit more throaty too

i removed the ex up cables but left the servo in place otherwise an error would be showing constantly
