Lewis Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 From my personal experience the headers could be worth +- 50% power increase on a complete system change on cars without cats . What on earth are you on about? could be worth +-50% ?!? a) plus or minus ... that is a massive difference either way, then you say increase b) 50% of what? c) complete system change..... which system is that?

Rob Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Keen to know a price, despite me being totally strapped for cash. I've a dyno place just a mile away, so if I went for it, I'd be testing before and after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 I've a dyno place just a mile away, so if I went for it, I'd be testing before and after. Where's the dyno in Northallerton Rob, is it the place on the small industrial estate near B&Q? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 6 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I would be very interested in the manifolds Nic, just need pics and prices to make my mind up. Where in HK are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Where's the dyno in Northallerton Rob, is it the place on the small industrial estate near B&Q? Yes, Motorscope. They have a race team, but I've never actually seen what they race. It's so weird that someone in HK used to live here and turns up on the same forum as me.

Steve W Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Nic, fairly interested as i was/am going to de-cat SHORTLY ! ! IF it IS indeed like that one in the pics then that gets rid of top/"1" cat anyway. IF it doesn't (ie JUST replaces the actual manifold) then the flow's not gonna change much anyhow ?? LOOKS nicer than cr*p cast effort GET THEM PRICES AND PICS MATE (and rough time-scale ??) FatS-pushy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 If it's anything like th4e XERD headers, the O2 sensors will need replacing (the existing ones won't come out apparently), so would suitable ones be packaged in there? Come Nic, we're all dying to hear prices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A}Obviously the increase you get vary from car to car and the restrictions and development on the factory standard system. ( FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ALL THE WAY TO THE TAILPIPE OF YOUR CHOICE) B)+- 50% means (not exactly 50% but in that area) C)A friend in South Africa ownes Cowley Exhaust which is on par with Powerflow. He spend loads of time playing with tube sizes on branch manifolds and freeflow exhaust systems before putting it on the market which included dyno runs etc. Conlusion 1)He got a better overall result on certain makes of cars than on others. 2)He found that some manufacturers devoloped a good exhaust manifold but a crap exhaust system and the other way around therefore the +- 50% Now go deal with your aggretion issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come Nic, we're all dying to hear prices! Never had trouble with my old TT sensors when i decatted ?? Never had any trouble at work with ANY Lambda sensors actually ! OR, does the N/A cat get hotter 'cos there's no turbo to cool it down ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 Right a few tit bits to keep you guys hungry for more The exhaust manifold is a 6-2-1 and is similar in design to the Xerd one, but should work out a cheaper (details to come soon, just finding out weight, so I can give you delivered costs). I'll post photo and full details very shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof. Monkey Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Im sure the headers that Nic will supply will use the Toyota stock O2 sensors. That is the only problem with the XERD ones, you have to factor in the cost of buying single wire unheated sensors. Although you might have to extend the exisiting wires a little!

Nic Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 The first sample I've seen used a screw in O2 sensor, but I'm hoping to get them converted to accept the stock O2 sensor. Once everything is confirmed I will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Gonna cost you more than £43.17 Sorry the company is not going ahead with production yet, as they wanted to get sufficient orders together to make it worth their while. I'll talk to them again and see if I can get things up and running again come the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 May be too late. I need to replace the cats soon as both are badly corroded That's why the manifold-cum-top-cat-replacement idea was so attractive ! Ah well, thanks anyway Nic.
