What headers fit with FI test pipes

AtlantaZ · 10-22-2015, 10:55 AM

Just purchased Fast Intentions Test Pipes and looking to also add headers. I want to go with Z1 headers but I was told by Z1 that they will not work with FI test pipes. Any ideas headers that will fit?

You could go with Stillen Headers, but you're better off selling those FI test pipes and buying the Z1 combo.

sell FI TPs and go FI long tube headers

They need to be short tube to still use the test pipes.

Like the others have said sell your TP's and either get FI long tubes or the Z1 header and test pipe combo.

What short tube headers will work with the FI test pipes? Other than the Stillen headers.

JWillis72 · 10-22-2015, 11:35 AM

I don't know, I went with long tube headers so no need for test pipes.

i don't think there are many headers for this car... you have z1, fi, stillen, and maybe 1 or 2 more? i believe stillen may be your only option.

i personally don't think the headers are worth the hassle for the whp gain. they're a pain to install. but that's just me

hmmm I thought they had a set of shortys. I could be wrong. too lazy to go look it up.

FI LTH is all you need

gomer_110 · 10-22-2015, 12:16 PM

There's only three header options for the 370Z that are worth the effort (proven power increase). FI LTH's, PPE LTH's, Z1 shorties with their TP's.

OP, if you're not willing to sell your current TP's in favor of one of these options then IMO don't bother with the headers. As previously mentioned, the install is a PITA so if you're not gonna gain anything then don't put yourself through the hassle.

you can use fast Intentions test pipes but they need to be for the 350z DE to match up with z1 headers..i gained 16whp with no tune.. I did before and after dyno and gained another 3whp with tune..

you need these below
