HyTech Header Decision Making
 

(2005 s2k)

Pretty soon my 20th birthday will be up and im trying to figure out what header to get. I heard the HyTech was the only long tubed header available, correct me if im wrong. I was going to get the buddy club and still thinking about it, so really its between the two. Below is a chart that I have no idea what it means, I know its the diameters/etc, but im trying to go above and beyond on this header deal. Also, I plan on supercharging down the road.


4-into-1 Racing Merge Collectors

Primary Size 304 Stainless 321 Stainless
1-1/2" $250.00 $275.00
1-5/8" 250.00 275.00
1-3/4" 250.00 275.00
1-7/8" 275.00 300.00
2" 275.00 300.00
2-1/8" 275.00 300.00
2-1/4" 275.00 300.00
2-3/8" 275.00 300.00
2-1/2" 275.00 300.00

Would 2.5'' primary size be too big or cause some sort of problems? Im also going to get the 321 stainless.

Im about to email them or call soon for some pricing better estimated pricing.


What does s2ki think?

nothin?

FI forum would have been a better bet.

Whys that? Im getting this before I supercharge. Why should a header question be in F/I

for the price of a hytech header you're halfway to a used SC kit, lol

Skip the header and just supercharge now haha

Well yea thats true....you do have a point there. But all in all, I was PLANNING on going n/a for awhile and then going f/i...just to try the best of both worlds

ijust installed the hytech header. its a sploogetastic peice. prolly the highest gaining header for a s2k. only sequential paired header i beleive. worth it. but, so hard to get. they just happened to have two when i called back in december. i bought one of them. hope they have the other still, otherwise, your waiting for it. a long while

Another option.... would be the Fast Forward header....
It is not a long tube though.... there were some gains on a supercharged car but nothing super spectacular. I can post dyno charts on Monday..we did alot of testing on a SoS SC equipped car on Wednesday.

The OEM header and cat worked very well on a car that was making 375-385whp @ 10ish psi

Yea I was reading on the FF header, but I would pick the BC header over that any day. Ill look more into the used SC option, I just wanted to start throwing I/H/E on this thing before doing anything crazy like that....maybe even adding a 70mm TB too before a SC...

Be prepared for a possible lengthy wait time after ordering.
