hey guys i was looking in a mag and came across an ad for a header for our car... just thought i would share.

Nice. Always nice to find new mods... it looks like that one comes with a down-pipe too.

One of our club members (orangebowl_jad) pointed that company out a while back. Definitely looks nice! I wonder if they offer ceramic coating and if they also have a downpipe.

 

i talked to them before. they said its "coming soon". its stainless steel.... polished finish. its going to be a full header and downpipe according to them. the only thing i didnt like was that they said its going to fit the 01+ lancer. didnt someone mention that the older mirage/lancer a little different? i think the header is about 1 inch shorter or something?

 

maybe the downpipe makes up for the extra inch then?

 

^ no.... thats not what they mean. its just another way of saying its a complete header. not just the upper half like they make for some cars.

 

hmm.... $435 for a header or $359 for a turbo compatible header....

 

See! N/A is ALWAYS more expensive!

 

well the 02s came out in 01 maybe they got confuesed ::shrugs shoulders::

 

^ never thought of that. hmmm i guess theres a possibility then.

 

^lmao

 

Two months ago I ordered the header from alphawerks. It got recalled before it left the warehouse. They don't fit our cars and has cuased engine failures(don't know how). Plus when I ordered it they were $280 and if they were rereleased they would be over $500.

Alphawerks said they don't know if they are going to replace it with one that fits. Plus the store I was getting it from said they weren't gonna carry them anymore due to they were so new and claiming they were the best and that they make Greddy and HKS look like they make crappy products. Not a company that you want to deal with.

So scratch that one.

 

What kind of store had those headers? Is wal-mart carrying headers now too?
