hey i was just wondrin wut to expect from kamikaze headers, and the GReddy evo catback..on my auto es... i have an (custom aem pimping)SRI too...so i was just wondrin would i expect gains? let me know ..thanks... im thinking of getting an intake mani too.. like a bored out mirage one.. any thoughts? since my lancer is all show..i now wan go GO! but NA styles..since FI is too far from reach.. let me know..


----and yeah..woudl test pipe HELP??!?!?

thanks guys..apriciate replys..






I DID SEARCHED..but cant find the exact same car with same moding pattern.. i mean same sequence i have..

 

You could always try combining what is said in other threads to form an idea of what to expect. Basically, yes you'll be faster but smellier.

 

Naturally with exhaust and headers you will get gains that has been covered many times. Test pipe i would so no and go HFC but thats just me and that does cost alittle bit more from rrm if you were to go that road.

 

you will produce a little bit more, but dont expect huge gains. i have the kamikaze header with dc sports cat back and it sounds real nice, and very deep. for an exhaust, its really what you prefer, if you want loud, then get the buschur w/ dynamax muffler or the magnaflow. as for the cat, you should definitely get the hfc. but either way, it should sound good.

 

"i did searched" ahahaha. good times! why would they sell the test pipe if it didnt help? youll lose low end with the addition of headrs and of the test pipe... so i suggest u go with rrm headers (least torque loss) and a high flow cat to stay legal. youll have 11 whp i think.

 

^^^...hehe.. yeah... the onyl reason is i coudl get the headers for cheap..and they are brand new... (under 200) so basicly.. i just wana make lil more power than stock.. thanks guys.. more infos?!??! any advice? thanks again

 

under 200? where are you getting that deal from? thats a pretty good price, you should definitely buy them. heres some advice: slow down with typing, its is difficult to interpret what you are trying to say. lol.

 

^^^my bad dude... i was in a rush typing it.. uhm... yeah picking up the headers tomorow.. and can u guys give me a heads up on wut to expect? i mean..would i encounter some troubles? i know CEL would pop up... but would i need anything else besides the headers itself? like a gasket or wutever? and i heard and read from searching..peeps melt their radiator fans on kamikaze headers? would heat wrapping it help? sorry for all this questions.. i guess this is kinda the last minute concerns before dropping some money... thanks guys..

 

.............>>>and yeah.,.is there a way to bypass the CEL? and do u ahev to lift the car to install the damn thing?

 

thats like the exact setup im gonna get (kamikaze headers, and the greddy evo cat-back)

 

hey..would the kamikaze headers fit with teh stoke down pipe? i know i comes with one.. but i was wondrin if it would fit without using the one that comes with it... wut yah think?

 

According to this site 04+ need a special package for proper fitment. I dont know if you knew this already or not.

^^^really? but damn..this is the same exact engine?!?! mybe theyre toalkin about the RALLIARTS?!?!? we have the same engine as 03 lancers..thast odd...thanks for the heads up

 

A test pipe is used for any kind of actual racing...but usually this is after a new camshaft is installed...you may actually LOSE power with a test pipe. If the exhaust is straight-thru, you lose backpressure. Sure, you want as little as possible, but if you have none you lose the scavenging effect on the cylinders, and the exhaust gas isn't pushed out as fast.

As for the special fitment...the reason it MIGHT be different is the body style changed slightly. Yes, the engine is the same (slow) engine, but it might have different motor mounts and different frame welds underneath.

Hope this helps!

 

Generally a test pipe is used on a turboed lancer, its pretty much useless on an NA application.
