my rcm headers recently cracked beyond repair after only 18 months so i bought a set of japspeed headers as some one recommended they looked quite good as we sat them next to rcm headers after fitting them started the car and they were blowing everywhere at the slip joint all the joints were slightly bellied so they werent sealing the gaskets absolute utter **** so now i need a new set of headers anybody got any recommendations? anybody got wallace performance headers?

 

Ive got the API 3 bolt type headers with one of Harveys special tapered uppipe's and they fit amazingly well with no blow's at all mate.

 

Hi there your headers has been heatwrapped(properly)?
And you are really don't need any headers(aftermarket)if you don't go or passing 400BHP,your std headers are capable and have good flow(or go just for ported headers from Harvey,which are tested and proven,not me but more people from SN).
And about the Japspeed headers,these are same like eBay s..te

 

Hi
Check out Tracktive Solutions .Had there headers on my Hawkeye for about two years with no problems

 

Everthing is repairable...

 

what kind of price we looking at for harveys mate

 

running just over 4oo mate, they were well heat wrapped as for the japspeed headers as you said mate s..te, no be getting business from me again

 

thanks mate ill check them out

 

All depends which one's you want mate as Harvey does a few different types.
He has 2 bolt gt spec and 3 bolt type and it is more if you want DEI heat wrap,id send him a PM and have a word fella and tell him your spec and he would advise you which would best suit your needs

 

If you are really going over 400BHP you can try Harvey headers or GT Spec headers.
As you said japspeed are s..te,don't brother more with these headers.

 

was just looking at them there bud look quite good whats the difference with the ported and tubular

 

The ported cast headers flow well up to about 400 bhp but for anything beyond the smoother bends and larger diameter of the stainless tubular one's are best mate

 

ye bit of a nightmare bud headers cracked the day before andy forrest mapped it so had to get the welder out for rcm headers for the remap didnt last long fore the crack got bigger very common fault with these headers few of my mates having the same problem with rcm headers cracking around 18mnths to 2 yrs

 

Where is the crack mate?

 

exellent mate harveys it is ill get in touch with him cheers for that bud

 

most of the 3 bolt headers are the same, but with just different peoples logo on them rcms, gt spec etc. the differents between the duff 3 bolt type and good ones is the venturi bit where all the pipes collect together. if it is nice and smooth, they are good, if it looks like someone from FC has weilded them together then they are bad. (this might be all wrong, but remember reading/being told this on here somewhere)

nice smooth one

 

have you had a chat with RCM, could be worth a try

 

rite in the middle of th 4 pipes goes round the bottom of 2 pipes rite up the middle of the 4 pipes beyond repair

 

Defo a gayer,i can see your GOLD GAY lamberts

 

ye i foned them the guy i spoke to said they dont gaurantee there headers theres no warantee to be honest he wasnt the nicest guy iv ever spoke to but he would sell me a new one for £568

 

RCM and others all come from the same source, maybe you have been unlucky, mine have ceramic coating flaking off now after a couple of years... but seem intact.
