I'm asking for too much aren't I? :D


NAH! Especially since installing those headers is such an easy, quick job!

Why do the pipes extend that long between the collectors and the flange ?! from what i remember the collectors exist just before the flanges, are these new design or somethin ?! Now they look like OBX headers lol !!

Did i miss the dyno sheet in this thread or somethin ?!

I don't know, those were the first pair I've installed on a local customer's car / first pair I've ever seen. Didn't know that they looked any different and I wasn't told they were redesigned. The fitment was excellent, the sound was amazing and the dyno results were posted in the VR Tune thread. The VR Tune and the headers were tested together. The customer's car came in with threads showing on his tires so we lost a lot of time ordering tires, mounting and balancing and getting it aligned. By the time we got all that done he was standing there waiting for us to flash the ECU. We got a couple of pulls on it and he had to take the car. So we got the baseline with the intake and catback and then the final dyno with the headers and flash.

Bump! Can you deny that sound?

Mine are at the coaters as we speak, putting them on this weekend.

Will try to get it on the dyno Monday. Test will be:
CAI + tune + stock manifolds + HFC + cat-back
vs.
CAI + tune + LTH + 3" 100cpi (mega high flow) cats + cat-back

I guess this is how they are building them now Glover997.

Kudos for you installing them without removing the engine as did I. BTW, I had to make a wrench to reach/tighten the lower back nut on the driver side header.

Also, my butt dyno could tell the increase in HP after the install. Lastly, on the steering wheel linkage, there's an alignment flat spot on the spline shaft and yoke. That's what I used so I didn't have to go in and re-align.

Great write up! Thanks for posting. It took us a solid 12 hours to install these on the black cherry convertible and it spent most of it's life by the ocean so we had a few f^*@in S*!+ moments.

The dip is a characteristic of the header -- the gains everywhere else more than make up for it tho'. You can minimize it somewhat with VVEL tuning (dial out some overlap in that rev range). Adding in a "choke", such as a single HFC, will flatten it out too -- but you might end up losing a few up top.

That's because OBX copied PPE's design

OBX is said to be a much poorer quality. For the amount of labor it takes to install these, I'd spend the money to only have to do it once.

vividracing 06-22-2015 05:00 PM

Bump - Good looks, solid gains, time consuming install but that SOUND!

How much shipped to 32025?
This would go with my ArK exhaust grip 2?
This negates the HfC right?

Anyone in AZ going to the No Fly Zone event out in Gila Bend on Oct 3rd?

Omega Motorsport Events

Stop by the tent and say hello! We will only be there Saturday.

vividracing 10-02-2015 08:02 PM

All PMs answered, all orders processed! Thanks for the great week guys.

To any AZ locals, we will be out at the NO FLY ZONE ARIZONA at the Gila Bend Airstrip tomorrow with a couple Porsche 991 Turbos, the McLaren and our Vivid Racing Short Bus on Airbags! Come out for some 1/2 mile racing and good time! Gates open at 8 and the even will end around 3pm. The event will go through Sunday but Saturday seems to be the bigger attendance day. I'll be at home watching football on Sunday. Hope to see you there!

vividracing 10-07-2015 06:58 PM

Thanks for all the inquiries on these guys!
