[nickspeed]

What brand headers do you have? And why?

[von]

Doug Thorleys. Nismos arent available so i went with these

[Layer1]

Doug Thorleys. Nismo was way too much and damn hard to get if at all.

[08BLIZZARD]

jba.. were what i could afford at the time.. if i had the choice, i would swap for some DT LT's.

[kha4079]

jba shorty headers,i didnt have ebough for LT's :( so far theyre worth every penny :D once i have enough money ill be getting long tubes :D

[08BLIZZARD]

i dont have any complaints with my jba's either.. and have hella low end.. but from what i heat the DT have a larger power band

long tubes do have a wider powerband but when it comes to F.I. most go with shorties. once cams come out for the 07+ ill be changing out all my piping to a 2 1/2 to a 3" with a borla xr-1 and a cutout :D

[Rook]

picked up DT shorties for the X....they say it give 17hp ...wish i held out for the long tubes....much bigger powerband.....oh well... ;)

PS: headers are a b*tch to install..at least on a VQ40DE engine...not sure how it is for the VK56...

Their a bitch to install on the titans too from what i've heard.

[Layer1]

Don't care what you all say, headers in general are a PITA to install. You just have to be prepped and ready to do it.

Bud you can say bitch...LOL

[Misfit]

I bought a set of DTs but sold them after deciding to not spend any money on mods.

I bought the DTs because of the price, and Nismo headers were out of production. Stillen is on my "don't buy from" list.

[Rook]

Bud you can say bitch...LOL

haha..my bad...used to posting on thenewx.org words are a little sensored over there...ha! my bad ;)

[O-Fivecc]

Nismo's...researched and were the only equal length with a merge collector. Plus, when I bought mine they were only $580 to my door

[Warp09]

I was the last person to buy the Nismo LTs for $585 from Bodean.

See it's fun over here!

[import2nr]

DT tri y's here. Because my Mani's were cracked and i wanted long tubes that were not as expensive as the nismos and i did not want the stillen long tubes .

[Jon_UT]

I have jba shorties sitting on the floor, all the vid clips I heard with them installed on other titans sounded badass and a sweet deal popped up in the FS forum on TT so I jumped on it lol.

[O-Fivecc]

Get them bad boys on there!! Its a whole new truck with headers

[SiMpLyMoDiFiEd]

OEM sold the DT LTs before i got to install them

[Jon_UT]

it's too damn cold to work on the truck lol

[SiMpLyMoDiFiEd]

I wish I would have kept mine but oh well

[Rook]

prob gunna try to get mine on in the next few weeks here...next warm day ;)

[von]

The DTs are sweet. I love mine

[O-Fivecc]

VON, what happened to the AEM intake I sent with the PGM?

[von]

You sent me the nismo with aem heat shield.

[O-Fivecc]

LOL, oh ok now I remember haha. Pinoytitan has the AEM pieces I think

[von]

Yea. I got another Nismo CAI im going to use that heat shield then its going for sale.

[O-Fivecc]

Yeah I noticed the Nismo shield has a smaller opening for hot air...Anyway, back on topic...did I mention my Nismo's? LOL

[von]

Yea. I bet they run great. I need to get a retune on my truck then make a name for the DT's. I got a ton more low end with the DT's.

[O-Fivecc]

I bet you did. Headers really wake this thing up a lot

[SiMpLyMoDiFiEd]

[von]

[SiMpLyMoDiFiEd]

^^ Took an hour to install my header on my civic :D

Straight off the back of the motor, crack loose 5 bolts, take out old, put in new, bolt up, boom 20 more horsepower.

I wish the titan was that easy to change!

[08BLIZZARD]

no shit.. man that would be nice..

[eddie fonzareli]

correct me if i'm wrong:

shorites for top end and long for low end ?

[Layer1]

Shorties are great for high end, maybe a tad low.
Longs, great for low and entire power band. You will also get the highend as well.

ok so i need LT. lifted apps definitly need as much low end as possible.

If you go with LT then you will need uprev if you dont have it already.

[08BLIZZARD]

it all depends on your truck and application. no two are the same. some people can slap a set of headers on and be in perfect a/fr range. others way off.

When i installed my headers i figured i would be running lean, instead i was running way rich.at around 3500 rpm up i was losing major power!

best thing to do is just have your a/fr checked after installing the headers. it will atleast give you an idea of how ugent you need tuned, if any at all.

[eddie fonzareli]

how much is a tune

[O-Fivecc]

Yeah I have heard stories of a lot of people running lean with LT headers, I also ran rich though. Uprev is $500 and you get a good custom tune after some data-logging, but your talking about a truck that is almost 1 second faster with those 2 mods. And believe me, a second is a lot faster. A truck length or 2 is about .2, so imagine how much faster .8-.9 is, which is about what you will gain with headers/uprev.
