Hello

I would appreciate if someone could help me with some answers to my question ! so i just bought my 2000 s2000 and i came accros some guy at the meets selling headers cheap(idk know the brand) niether did he ! so i bought the headers with the intentions of not putting them on till i get exhaust and intake but now my question is will i get any power w.just putting my headers on(iam completely stock) my idea was to wrap my headers and install them on the car ? good idea or bad idea ? and how much power if any ?

thanks- mike

 

Hey Mike, there honestly isn't much people can help you with in your situation. There are some aftermarket headers out there for the s2000 that do nothing in regards for performance, especially without a tune. By not knowing what brand header you bought may have been a mistake since people have supposedly lost power, or didn't gain anything with certain brands, and no name ones.

Did you do any measurements on it such as the size of the primaries and collector?

 

yea, its hard to tell how much power you will make with a random header.

is it even for the s2k?


the only thing you may find is different is the sound.

 

no i havent i just got them lastnight and i didnt have time to do research on this before i bought them ! and its not like i payed alot for them do worst comes to worse i didnt loose much it couldve gone either really good or horribly bad !! and the person i bought it from is an s2K FANATIC ! So i thought i would talk to someone here and they could help me out !

 

Take some measurements and we should be able to let you know if it SHOULD, not will, make any power gains. If there are any it will be very minimal without a tune/exhaust/test pipe.

 

ok will do ! amd will let you guy know thanks for the help

 

Yeah i'm betting that the guy is buying cheapo Ebay headers and selling them to people for a profit. Go ahead and measure the primaires and the end collector and let us know what they are. Also if you are going to be putting it on your car, make sure the welds look good. The welds on a header can crack pretty easily if not done right due to the heat.

 

and take a pic while you are at it




and what is cheap to you?

 

If anything you'll get a slightly different tone, but all potention gains will remain untapped until a tune with an aftermarket EMS

 

The stock header is pretty damn good already
