What Headers next

[simon_mcwilliam]

I have a set of megan headers & uppipe (all one unit) on the scoob which have cracked, anyone any suggeestions which ones to try next. I see flat4online has GTspec gruppe, for £450. Has anyone got theses or know what they are like?

[wilky]

Im quite sure the gruppe s ones have a flexi joint in the upipe, I had similar ones and had no problems although I have heard of the flexijoint coming away with the heat.

with headers you unfortunatley pay for quality but if you are generating huge heat there is no promise of them not cracking.

HKS zero sport and blitz are all high quality and tend not to crack, however engine movement has alot to do with it, how well is you turbo attached to your engine or is it just sitting omn the uppipe?

I have gucci fandango ones on the falcon, HKS  and  on from new, I needed quality but alas, they cost a bit.

If you are interested Harvey ports standard uppipes and headers to a very high standard giving conciderable gains in torque, however if you are looking for top end then its tubulars you want.

You then have to ask, equal or unequal length, burble or bark, etc etc and the debate goes on and on......exhaust pulses, bla bla.

If you want gruppe s copies which are usually okay you can pick them up on ebay, just look for the spec you want, you can also get them on the US ebay, just ask for them to be sent as a gift or sample to avoid import tax, som Ive heard, ahem.....

Hope this helps.

Greersport got hold of a Trust?Greddy header and up pipe that is of a highh quality for good money too[]

Forgot to say that i have the Grupp S headers and are real happy with them but please make sure that you get the Helix up pipe like they have advertised and not the cheap XS Power up pipe that i got sent instead.The said up pipe blew up and i have replace it with a Magnex up pipe which has a slip joint which i got from Hypertech and have not had any problems with.

LOL at GT.[]

JC......no that's the Helix up pipe

[jcscoob]

Good coz thats the one i have, not on car yet ! []

[fai17]

Cool JC.

The SX Power has a smaller flexi.

Where did you get it from and remember to wrap the whole thing.

JC....I touch goats

I have GT Spec on mine and they work very well.

cheaper than others and work well. Some of the more expensive ones are cracking

I have the gruppe-s with helix up-pipe and have had it on over a year and a half. In that time i have changed turbos and engines and things and the flexi still is in good nick ( and i don't drive slow or have much sympathy for the car...ask anyone!). I think like Wilky says, it has a lot to do with the movement of the pipe and how well it is bolted to the block. Oh and i also have had no leaking issues with the 2 bolt flange like some people get.
