Equal lenth headers. What sound?
 
Does anyone have EL headers on there scoob??

Whats the sound difference? I know you loose the burble but cant imagine a scoob without that sound. Ive heard from people they sound better than the burble with a high pitched whistle at max revs.

Is this true?? :)

Anyone..????

thats right they do whistle and give 20% more power compared to un equal std headers!!! they sound really wierd though.

I had a set of Jun ones on my Type R...

Sounded like on mk2 escort on steroids.............Sort of...

Gone from Blitz Nur spec RRRRRRR on old headers to TSL Firestorm on semi and wish had stayed with original.

You saying my 300 brake scoob can have 360 brake with a set of headers? ;)

the standard headers sound gr8 but nothing prepares you for the sound of the e/l headers on boost mine sounds like a gsxr on methane and yet pussy cat quiet on idle also power and torque gains are worth the change alone another thing to think about is the vibration is reduced because there is no out of balance in the manifolds i personally think they are a good upgrade but if you like the burble then not for you m8

Thanx for the replys guys.:)

I guess the main reason more people dont have them is down to the loss of the burble.

from what I have found is it all depends on the back box, my original firestorm sounded terrible with tubular headers , the hks hiper sounded ok some of the big jap boxs sound even better

none of which sound as good as the std manifold imho BUT its not terrible and the car does go like stink

becare full which ones you buy I am not the only one to bust a set of cheap jap ones

oops i was meant to say 20bhp.

I guess I do miss the burble, but love the sound of my equal length headers, in conjunction with straight through 3" exhaust
Don't really know what to compare it to noise wise,perhaps a motorbike when WOT, + love the increase in torque and BHP these give you over the stock ones.

harvey 30 May 2006 08:29 PM

Genuine equal length will lose the burble and on power the car sounds more like a four cylinder Japanese superbike.

pippyrips 30 May 2006 08:31 PM

agree with the superbike comment - i miss the burble since but love the new sound just as much..
