8381, Fast 420A You asked about the headers! Posted by RxR_Eclipse, Oct-04-01 07:47 PM
Cyan is right, they are the pacesetter, I don't have any problems with them leaking or not fitting right~I hear that from alot of guys~so if your interested in how they fit and what gains I experienced, I would give them a good rating! I put them on the same day as the Tenzo exhaust so I don't really know how much they would have helped all by them selves, but for the price who can complain! Im sure they gave me an instant 10-15 HP along with the exhaust!

How hard is it to install the header on our car? Is it just a simple, jack it up, take out some bolts put the new one in and thats it? Where did you order yours from? The ones I've found are like 170's plus 20 shipping

Check www.howellautomotive.com because they do carry them and I am pretty sure they are cheaper.
RxR, did the paint burn off of them at all? I heard that it burns off when you first start it up after the install, did your header do this? I have thought about getting the pacesetter in black and if it burns off painting it with 1500F paint that the local v8 place sells.

Naw man it didn't burn off for a couple of months. A little at a time, but man did it ever make my car smell like ass! I have thought about taking them off and painting them, but now I'm selling the car soooo......Black they stay! As far as the install question, easy as pie! They come in 2 pieces, one from the head which has 4 pipes, the into a collector whch has 2 pipes that run into a single collector then to the exhaust! :) It takes a good 3hrs to do the job right! If it takes you less, it will probly leak, or your a mechanic! :)
Peace out.

I have them too, they are great for the money! The gain is very noticeable and they fit great. Be careful not to strip out the threads on the block when you are installing headers and getting the O2 sensor off out the factory piping is a bitch.
It's amazing how much the peice of shit factory headers weigh, I think 90% of the speed we gain is from wait reduction instead of horsepower. :) j/k
Great mod.
The only problem I ever had with them was my gaskets on that downpipe kept blowing, but then I ordered one of the pacessetter gaskets from them, and it hasnt blown out yet.

i don't think they can bolt right on i'm pretty sure you need a gasket in there but that's still no biggy. i've been messin with my car and tryin to pull off the heatsheild on the stock mani but i'm to much of a pussy to pull the upper rad hose off to get to the last nut
