Today, I made the decision to get one of my first big power mods. I had been applying more cosmetic and suspension based changes on my car to increase the handling/cornering ability of it.
I felt that I hadn't had enough time behind the wheel on the track, so I wanted to make sure I was up to snuff on the current power the car had before starting to get too juicy with it. The header is a relatively small step, but for me it was definitely needed...kinda.
Quick rundown of the exhaust system on my car:
Last time, I had changed the Midpipe/Muffler to a BLITZ NUR-CTi Quad Tip catback system. Additionally, I changed the Front Pipe to a Tomei titanium piece.
Unfortunately, during that time the bolt between the overpipe/frontpipe broke and resulted in my having to come back later for a new overpipe. The rest of the bolt is seized and jammed in the flange of the over pipe, so my woes are never done.
Today, I went to get my new overpipe and coincidently, the overpipe/header pipe was also very snug. We tried and it seemed the bolt was probably going to break on this one too, so I took the leap of faith and decided I'd just change the entire thing.
That means 100% of my exhaust system is now aftermarket. It adds quite a bit of noise, but hey, bit more power and sounds great. Pics below:
