Headers?

carrot · 01-26-2015, 03:46 PM

Been searching thru the forums on header reviews and didnt see much. What is the best header or what do you guys recommend PPE, Z1, etc? Thanks!

Only really three to chose from, two long tube, and one shorty.

For long tube headers, it's either Fast Intentions or PPE. I have the FI headers and love them but have also heard great things about the PPE long tubes.

For the shorty option, you only have the Z1 header which is a copy of the momentum headers that were made for the 350Z.

All three of these are good options and in the end it's really just up to you.

Agree with this. I got the FI LTH's too.

Just remember. Installing LTH's. The driver's side is a bear to do. It will take you about 6hrs. The right side about 1.5 hrs. And don't use a impact gun to remove the exhaust bolts. Because the impact gun WILL KILL the sensors from vibrations.

About $500 to install. Better off keeping stocks and just running test pipes

OP, just noticed you're from Cali. I'm guessing due to emissions reasons you won't be able to legally run long tube headers since they delete the cats. The Z1 shorties paired with some HFC's might be your best option. Then again I'm not from Cali so I'm just speculating here.

Hey guys thanks for all the info! Since I already have the FI exhaust I'll look into their headers as well. And Gomer yea I'm in Cali, but have a buddy who can cheat my smog if ay know what I mean! Haha again thx guys for the info

I think FI is the way to go too i- it seems very useable from a street loudness standpoint - i plan to order some next week to pair with my 18" fi exhaust as well. What size resonators are you running now?

I got the 12 inchers.

gomer_110 · 02-21-2015, 09:43 PM

None. I have the FI non-res cbe paired with their lth's.

Riptide67 · 02-22-2015, 12:45 AM

FI LTH and Non Res FI exhaust is where it's at!

PharmDZ · 02-22-2015, 09:20 AM

I haven't gotten the car dynod yet but I like my momentum headers since they give me the option to run a high flow cat or resonated test pipe (I'm using motordyne art pipes). Z1 is a copy of these headers. I still have very little drone and rasp, if at all. Just a bit more of that hiss some people get.

Elmo370z · 02-22-2015, 09:49 AM

if your going to spend the money i don't see why you just don't go with the LTH's. Are you worried about install and tuning prices?

Sound clip? I'm running the F.I. LTHs paired with the F.I. TDX CBE w/ 18" resonators and I'm thinking of swapping the x-pipe out to non-resonated.

Unfortunately nothing that does it justice. Just some iphone videos when the car was on the dyno.
