5Zigen or Z1 headers

Spstone · 12-03-2016, 08:11 AM

Need help deciding on headers. I was going to get 5 Zigen titanium headers but finances didn't turn out as planned and now questioning the expense. Their is a significance weight difference compared to the Z1's but I'm not seeing any thing HP gain wise. I like the idea of being able to see the rarer JDM headers but not sure how visible they will actually be. Any opinions or experience would be greatly appreciated. Also any pics of top down showing how much of your headers is visible once CAIs are installed would be a huge help.

Don't waste your money on Zigen headers. The Z1's are top notch. You can barely see the headers and you have to really look. Look up my sophia project for pictures of how much f the headers you can see.

Z1 headers get my vote. I hate I can't see them but quality product.

I vote Z1 headers... I have not seen the other headers you are talking about, but I can tell you I was extremely lucky to win a set of the Z1 headers at this years Z Nationals and let me tell you they are a work of art...

I looked into most 370z headers options, Z1 gets my vote as it is proven unlike 5zigen which is a great and quality company, but no dynos or reviews on their headers.

If you installed your own mod's....then you would be able to see them.

Thank you all for the input. It's going to be Z1s

Z1 I gained 16whp and 3whp before and after dyno. Stock with no tune

Between the two. Get the Z1 headers. As to seeing them. You have to be looking for them to see them. Just looking into the engine compartment. Forget it.
