These are for my brother-in-laws Jetta
Shiney! :rolleyes:
Nice. Man, you’re gonna love that header when you put it on.
I already love it, it’s soooooo shiny :lol:
Now to get the rest of the exhaust, or should I put the header on now?
Apparently the car will sound like crap without an exhaust, but who cares…you’ll still get the performance out of it.
No wait for exhaust. It’ll sound like shit otherwise.
I have a flowmaster axle back on right now so it should be alright without the midpipe i would think.
Yeah anything but the stock exhaust will sound just fine and the down pipe…whatever man I used the stock DP for pretty much a year. If you have any time off tomorrow or Thursday we could install this (If you would like some expert help) :E. Congrats man you are gonna love this thing.
Thanks for the offer but I don’t get a day off till sunday. I got a great shop to use and I could do it here at work too if needed. I’m pretty good with a wrench so I should be alright. When I get it installed I’ll let you know what the seat-o-the-pants dyno says :E
The seat of the pants dyno will say “Why the fuck didn’t I do this sooner!” :E
Do yourself a huge favor. Go get yourself a 10MM ratchet wrench from Canadian Tire or Sears. I found getting the stock heatshields off with a socket were a big PITA.
A stubby one or regular?
The regular one should work nicely. I got mine from sears, and I wish I had done it the second I picked up my car.
All I can say to this is :werd:
So what you guys think about those angel eyes headlights?
I think they look cool on BMW’s. Not sure if they would look all that great on a Spec V. What I would do is get 4 angel eyes - get angel eye fogs AND headlights. Or just the fogs. Or just a Skyline. Whatever. :E
What I really want to see is a Projector beam headlight made for the Spec V I think that would look amazing.
Those are for my in-laws Jetta, I don’t think my spec will be sporting anything like that.
Installed header today, it was easy. I had a mutha with the O2 sensor though and screwed it. So now I’m running without an O2 but no problems yet. I like the sound it’s a bit raspy though.
Performance is worth it though, NO?
Sucks what happened to your sensor, but the gains are def. worth the mod. X-Rider’s o2 sensor was like that too so we just took it over to a muffle shop and asked them to get it out for us, it took them like a min. Just saved Rob from having to buy a new o2 sensor.
