Installed Ebay header Options

[Smaay]

I got tired waiting for my fabricator to get started on building my pipes for my turbo system, so i spent some pocket change and got the Ebay header. Install was very simple. i did have to loosen the alternator to get the header around that stud, but that was it. took me abot 30 minutes to install.

Before.


During


After






after a quick trip around the block


Now for review....This header was an excellent bang for the buck. Cost was about 110 after shipping. i can feel a huge difference in acceleration. Im on stock exhaust from the header back so the car is still very quiet. In fact, i dont hear much of a change in engine noise. But the Butt dyno says more power is there.

Can you post a link to the same one please, and did the sensor on top just pop in or bolt on perfectly? I think it is surewinproducts.
I am editing I assume the bottom one is already in the exhaust.
Thanks

nice looking header. as you can see, the header are starting to fad to that blueish gold color. header wrap them later on if you want. Im sure the enging bay heat gets pretty hot in there when the radiator fans turn on. I had them without header wrap for a while, but then wrapped mine.

i would suggest posting them on the ebay header thread for the next time

Surewinproducts is in La Puente CA I could drive there to pick up but they won't let me. They must overcharge to make money on shipping.
Why give Fedex 40 bucks for nothing if you can pick up.

yeah its the surewind header and i didnt knnow there was a specific thread for it

Just a quick question. Where did you get your gaskets from for it? I went down to lordco today and they said they didnt have any >.>. I was going to go down to toyota or napa tomorrow, but just wondering where you got yours.

the surewind header came with the gaskets

[Smaay]

yep it came with them, im using the one on the head, but im using the doughnut gasket on the pipe end. the gasket that came with the header didnt fit on the downpipe.

I would just repaint the header with high temp paint before installing it or get it ceramic coated.

On my header (same one), there's two bungs in it for both o2 sensors. Doesn't make any sense to me because both are sensing o2 where only one is needed in the header. I can simply re-route the bottom 02 sensor to the cat and put a bung in it right? My cat is a hi flow aftermarket and currently has no bung in it for a sensor.

[Smaay]

the cat is on the factory header. one sensor before and one after. you are talking about the CAT in the downpipe. there are no sensors back there

[6G96GT]

I'll snap a pic tomorrow and post up what I mean.

[azn87]

any update on that pic?

[6G96GT]

Both upper and lower 02 sensors are in the bottom of the header. I need to relocate the bottom 02 back to my cat (new bung) and cap off where I took it out of the header...right?

[Agent21]

IF YOU GET THIS Header, you need to port match the flange to the tubes. You will get way better flow with about 15 minutes of grinder action. I got mine for $75 shipped, rock on.

[6G96GT]

did

[trdproven]

Which one is the better header, the one by racedesign is selling or surewin products? They look exactly the same could be the same but which one is the bolt-on one with no mods?

[TinoCel]

i personally did surewin, no mods needed.
