I have CAI,Test Pipe, Exhaust...
Now I have my VAFC/Harness
I dont want to tune it until I have a header but I am so lost on which to get. J's looks so awesome, but so expensive. Rick's looks beautiful, I love the low-mid range increases. But the only dyno I have seen of it loses top end. Then there is the Megan Header, so very cheap and everyone loves the quality of their test pipe(this means a little something . But no one has dyno'd it yet! What to do what to do

 

Well me and you are in the same boat. i need a header but i really refuse to spend 1k on a header. i was looking at ricks, meagan, and 5zigen. i have a friend that has the 5zigen on his SC s2k and ht likes it good fit, and finish looks to be a quality part.

 

I liked the Rick's one, so that's what I went with.

 

Well with what I've read your not going to see much of a change out of even the high end headers, except for the J's possibly. So the differences from the less expensive headers are most likely going to have less of a difference. So you can't go wrong with what you pick.

 

Personally unless you are going hard core N/A then that's when I would consider one, otherwise stick with the OEM header and save 1K+. People who run an aftermarket header see little to no gains.

 

Yea same boat here, at 1000-1200 for a j's header is just seems like alot, btw what are the weight savings for an aftermarket header over a stock one?

 

Product inquiry, moving to S2000 talk

 

There are definite weight savings with a good header - with the OEM I almost fell over picking the thing up after I lifter the j's with just one hand, without any effort -same with Mugen.

 

since they really dont add hp, any of em, mabye 3 hp at the most, go with some cheap header, like dc sports, it looks pretty phat and is mad cheap, and if ur not cheap then go for meagan
