Ok, I searched and didn't find anything, not one single listing about XTune. So this post is to inform and inquire. I was looking through eBay and found a listing for a header that I had not seen or heard of before. The company name is XTune and it specifies this header (brand new) is for 2002-2006 Lancer ES, LS, and OZ. This is the tri-Y design, and includes the flexpipe. Here's a link:

XTune Header on eBay

Anyway, wondering if anyone has ever heard anything about these or has experience with fitment, sound, durability? I know performance will not really be impacted so that is not the question. Also wanted to let people know they're out there. Oh yeah, and if these things actually fit right, my favorite part is that including shipping, they cost less than $200.

 

i think someone found this already. its a copy of another header.

 

looks exactly like the OBX design i had on my 06.

 

I would not buy it. Look at the runners. They are all different lengths. This causes turbulence in the runners because the exiting velocity from each cylinder is different. You will have a hell of a time tuning your AFR cuz each cylinder will differ.

 

x2.


durable? probably. most ebay SS headers perform just as well as the OBX ones.
they serve the same purpose, and as stated by yourself does not impact much towards performance without assisting modifications.


but hell, that one is just another option out there for ya...

 

i found another one to add...

for the turbo guys...

SPA t3 cast manifold, look real good to me...

wonder how well the turbo clears the waterpipe on the front of the block...
whats turbo can you fit in there with no issues...
is anyone running one of these...

i have not purchased the manifold but from what the measurement look like, if you put that turbo on exactly like they show in the picture your cold compressor housing is going to be right where the oil dipstick tube is. if you invert the turbo pointing towards the driver side it will probably have clearance issues with the fans because of how far out the turbo will sit. i wonder if anyone is running one of these yet i would like to see some pictures of it installed...
