    Where can I get good aftermarket headers?

    What is the usual type you guys upgrade to?
    1. Stainless steel?
    2. 4-2-1, 4-1-1 or 4-1? What are the differences?

    How much should I be spending for these? What else do I need to know?

    Heard from Fremuff thier headers are not mandrell bent for the mean time because thier equipment is busted.

    My other choice is nodalo's but just not quite sure if they're OK.

    If you really want power gains for your car kaya ka nagpapaheaders, I'd suggest getting a "branded" headers for your ride.

    Complete with test results pa...

    Kung ricey headers effect lang naman ang plan mo, I'd suggest stainless, madrel bent pipes na 4-2-1.

    I heard Mufflerland have mandrel benders (but I haven't tried their product and I don't know where it is exactly located - marami raw branch ito, like tomas morato).

    Do you think I could get branded headers for my ride, Usually it's kind of hard to find aftermarket support for Mazda Familia...

    aluminized- as in aluminum o aluminum coated?

    ssaloon paki post na lang kung ano naging kinalabasan nung headers na ipakakabit mo. Kung naging maganda ba ang effect sa takbo ng oto. I'm having second thoughts kasi kung mufflerland na lang o hanap ako ng 2nd hand na branded na headers. Also di rin ako sure kung talagang mandrel bent yung mufflers nila diyan sa mufflerland.

    low end means sa lower rpm band... more for acceleration. high-end sa higher rpm range for peak hp.

    intro price bigay sakin... 3.5k kasi sa transport ko kinuha. pero ang actual price na is around 5.5 to 6k para sa headers. to follow na yung straight pipes ko :D feeling ko aluminum coated lang ang mga pipes na to. will post updates after the installation in terms of performance and exhaust noise. naka JASMA spec muffler na rin kasi ako so i'm expecting na bubuo din yung tunog (magiging more bassy)

    Sana hindi masyadong off topic pero do you guys measure success through dyno runs? or butt dyno lang?

    In my case hinda ko na kailangang mag pa dyno-test pa hindi ko naman ipangkakarera yung oto ko e kaya't di ko na kailangan pa yung exact figures kung nag-gain ba torque or HP nung oto. I'll measure it na lang kung nag-improve ba performance nung oto sa acceleration at engine response sa iba't ibang rpm
