Those with Z1 headers
 
I'm looking for answers with those that have Z1 headers installed
what kind of gains did you see from them
and if you had to do it over again would you get them again..
on the fence about getting them and just want to hear what you
think about them

You going to install them or someone else? The right is a breeze. About 1.5 hrs. The left side is a heart breaker. About 6 hrs. It's tight, have to remove the heat shield from the manifold :shakes head: and you have to disconnect the steering shaft from the rack & pinion. This is where people run into problems.

Heck no..that's why I work to pay other people to install stuff I don't want to..��

Personally, if I lived in a non CARB state, I would go with the F.I. long tubes. While not cheap ("that's why you work" ;) ), they'll net the best gains. The best form, function & customer service.

REMEMBER THAT IF YOU EVER DECIDE TO BOOST YOUR CAR THAT HEADERS/EXHAUST/CLUTCH/FUEL INJECTORS ETC. WILL ALL HAVE TO BE UPGRADED ALONG WITH THAT UPGRADED BOOST KIT.

So for example if you get the FI long tube headers, make sure that you don't end up buying the headers again if you get an FI TT kit.

I wanna say it was about 20 gain when we did it. I don't remember exactly, but I am at 342 with stillen Gen 3, Z1 modded intake plenum, Z1/Momentum headers and test pipes and a bastardized invidia gemini with their resonators and 12" glass packs replacing the rear muffler section. Also have a Z1 tune.

BIG difference between FI LTH's and FI turbo exhaust manifolds. The turbo mounts on the manifold. So you need the manifolds. The LTH's Have to come off.

I'm looking for a used set.

chuckie311 08-03-2015 11:25 PM

No plans for boost I'm staying N/A.. I just have really never found any answers on anyone who has them or what gains were had. if any. I know just about everyone like to bash shorty headers.. Just trying to decide if it's worth the 2000 grand roughly for Z1 headers and HFC and install..As I'm switching to ecutek in 2 months so if I'm going to get them now would be the time!

chuckie311 08-06-2015 05:35 PM

Well after much thinking I went ahead and bought them!!
Shooting for a October install.. I'll update what the results are!!
