Anyone tried this header?

havent tried that one, but it looks just like the one i bought from NWOR a couple years ago for my 22r that they stopped carrying...good header. fits nice and close to the block. i shot mine with high temp paint and forgot about it. i dont know how much "seat of the pants" upgrade it was because i replaced mine at the same time that i replaced my worn out motor...so to me, there was a ton of "seat of the pants" power! good luck.

 

I looked over at NWOR and they got some snazzy looking headers also, no prices, I bet they are pricey too...Does the NWOR header perform and fit well??? They have a good line of hype for their products, just curious? I know most on here recommend the LCE header but its pricey as well. I thought about just leaving the stock manifold and changing my pipes to 2.25 all the way out

 

The general drift I got on NWOR was the headers are of fantastic quality but their customer service is terrible. So bad as to outweigh the quality of the product. I do not personally have any experience with them so this is just hearsay on my part. Search around and you will probably come up with a similar consensus. If you're really interested maybe you could try to contact both a happy and unhappy customer about their experience.

 

I am thinking about getting it, if I do I will let ya know what I think, but it will be a couple months till I put the engine back in my runner.

 

I had a Pacesetter on my 22R that was 4 to 1 like that. Wish I had gotten a tri-y - I had a friend with the Thorley tri-y on his 22R, and it worked much better.

 

I say if you're adventerous go for it, or if someone responds with that model of header and speaks favourably of it....

Otherwise I'd spend the $$$ on a KNOWN brand and get the quality they are known for. Yeah it's a bit more $$$ but there are so many issues that can arise from a poor quality header that it'll make a pricier quality made header seem like chump change in the long run.

And if neither of this ideas sound good to you, then you're going to need a 3.4 swap!

 

OK, i'll be happy.
mine don't look the same, i have longer tubes to the collector, might be the year? i'm satisfied, but don't have anything to compare it to except stock. bought mine on ebay from a dude that didn't realize they weren't CA spec'd--couldn't pass emissions. no issues so i haven't had to contact NWOR, but i hear the same rumor, their customer service sucks.

 

i would contact the seller and make sure it collects at 2.25 inches, it doesnt say and you need to be careful with ebay stuff and no you wont get a 20% hp increase. but you will get more power just not that much. but for that price compared to a good known brand it might be worth trying out

 

I have a Doug Thorley Header and it only cost about 30 bucks more than that one. Its the tri y design, it looks much better and you know your getting a quality product. Ive always thought its better to spend a little bit more for a quality product than less on something that will probably end up costing you more when it needs to be replaced.
