what can i do to get full potential out of new headers, for my 1.6, if i get custom or if finally someone comes out with some?

dafoo21

what would i do to reach that with just exhaust and headerS?

dafoo21

hey dafoo do you have any pics of your intake, im curious as to what it looks like.

dafoo21

no pics but it isnt a CAI, its a short ram, i cut off the MAF box from the old factory box and just put it into the stock tubing and bought a rubber reducer that at one end is 2" and goes to 3" which connects to a thick pvc pipe. i had to do some massive sanding and cutting to round off the edges so the filter fits onto the end of the pvc. i didnt know if the thinner 3" pvc would stay together so i got the thicker.

THEGOLDPRO

are you planning on making it a cai or just keeping it short ram? i did mine from pvc too i used a little thinner pipe like 2 and a half. you can look up the pics herehttp://www.protegenetwork.org/chapters/ME/gallery_ben_01.htm

im planning on just getting a REAL CAI or get a custom short ram not made by me, i dunno, what u suggest?

dafoo21

btw...did u paint it black?

THEGOLDPRO

lol well im no expert. but im gonna re make mine from manderal bent exhaust pipe, , and have it dipped maybe. it will be ALOT cheaper, and i like the feeling of doing things myself.

THEGOLDPRO

yeah used high temp caliper paint on it, like 3 coats. and the engine baked in on nice.

dafoo21

maybe ill look into the custom from a shop then, im sure itll be cheaper, im not as handy lol

THEGOLDPRO

you asked if i painted mne did you just leave yours white?? yeah it will be cheaper. the cai is like 250 for injen, it will maybe cost you 50 bucks from shop.

dafoo21

yea i just left it white, ghetto style....this custom everything is sstarting to look better than i thought, will i still get same results?

If you go to the OBX Racing website they say they have stainless headers for our 1.6L. I was considering getting them for my car but was hoping someone else would do it first so I could find out if the performance increase was worth the price.
