I have seen Mines header and it looks fantastic . Currently I have the Mugen 2.2l header. Its nice, lighter than stock and makes decent power.

I am strongly considering selling mine to by the hytech header.

Cyncrvr - You will not be disapointed with your purchase. Keep us posted on the dyno #'s

So if you ordered a custom header and exhaust, you could ask him to build one that could be fitted with a cat if needed?

well i dont know what to tell you in regards to that. I personally spoke to John on my "first phone call" told him what i was looking for and he personally invited down to the shop to check his work out. Im going friday and will be placing an order for a header and a single 70mm exhuast. Also if i told you i had a negetive experence with Evasive motorsports while everyone else is saying they are so good etc. who would you believe? have i had a bad experience with them? YES i have and IMo its all about what you put in to it and how you research the company for your self and what you think is acceptable and whats not acceptable. I will be more than happy to post my results once everything is completed for my set up
Please keep us posted

Ok ive heard J's is pretty much the best header.

However given my mods in my (signature) which one would compliment my setup, im not entirely sure what i want i guess better acceleration, but i know some headers have better top end lower end.

Also is there a risk of running a header with my given mods, with the car running too lean/rich?. I "dont" have an aftermarket ECU.

Thanks again, an s2k owner from across the pond.
J's is your best bet! You will have the closest to 70mm piping all the way through. Hella loud and hella fast.

Yes, its like buying tailored vs off the rack. Tailored in this case will be matched EXACTLY to what you are trying to accomplish. Know you will get the most for your dime performance wise and the fabrication is second to none.

well i just searched hytech header in the search function and read through a couple of threads with alot of negative remarks about john. yes of course it depends on each situation and it varies, but for me to open couple threads and see that many bad opinions, there must be a problem.

im sure his product is top notch, but whats a product with no support?

or whats a brand that tells you 2 weeks and you end up waiting years?

from what ive read that seemed to be the most problem with john. but again, hopefully hes done better and actually wants to support the s2k community into making headers for our cars since hes always had customers wanting some, he just didnt bother making them
