Best Header arounf for DSM??

[96TalonAWD]

I am thinking i modding my exhaust manifold, was gonna do the IM and the 1g TB but you have to port the head, take it out put new gaskets is too much of a project for my right now.

So from your xperiences whats the best header style fro DSM i hear the
4-2-1??

also what is the stock diameter of the stock header is it mandrel bent?

You have looked inside your engine bay right? Its an exhaust manifold not a header. Honestly you can't do too much better than a ported 95 manifold. I havent seen any reliable tubular exhaust manifolds for a decent price. Just take the grinder to your manifold and call it a day.

upssssss jejeje so where is the header??

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

There is no header. It goes Head->Exhaust maifold->Turbo-> O2 housing-> Downpipe->catback.

[L2RTSiAWD]

Those are for Non-turbos.

NORMALLY ASPIRATED. Remember, they DO exist. Look into FFGeoff's header. It is vey beefy, flows great, but costs two arms and a leg. Other than his, I can't recommend one with a clear conscience.

It shows he has a 96 TSI AWD, so it would be an exhaust manifold as Mutted said. BTW, the catylitic (sp?) converter or a "test" pipe goes between the downpipe and cat back, I think you forgot to mention it.

I understand rocket but he was talking about NA headers. I like to call ours manifolds all the time.

Yes I forgot the cat/test-pipe. But I think my point got across.

[L2RTSiAWD]

No you don't have to but many dsm vendors and locals will port it for you.

Sorry, mutted, we were typing at the same time and your post beat mine in the list, that's all. Nothing meant by it. I was trying to respond to the line...
