Un-equal headers will keep most of the burble. will only be lost when on full chat

You don't lose the burble unless yopu go equal length headers, and unless you have donme an awful lot of modding, you are a long way off needing to fit any of those

HOWEVER: your car cannot be remapped easily, it needs an aftermarket or piggyback ecu, and much modding WITHOUT a remap will end in tears. Expensive ones

What do you want from it?

the reason im asking about headers is that the ones that are on the car just now is looking a bit worse for wear and there is a small hole started to show.

the car will be going into andy f's soon for a remap and as of just now the car is off the road as it has mods done and im sure the car has not been mapped before so its not getting used to save the engine as i dont wanna have to fork out more money on a rebuild if i can stop it from going to that before hand


so i just thought why not ask about upgrading the headers the now and save myself time in the long runand having to upgrade them later after buying another set of standard headers and doing more mods to the car then needing them later

After fitting my RCM headers, it made the exhaust note quieter, but gave it alot deeper burble

what mods are you running on your car

I'd stick to Standard Scoob headers, maybe go with one of Harvey's trick up-pipes and ported headers.

Going too far WILL mean an upgraded ecu

when it goes into andy f's he's going to be fitting and mapping the APEXI Power FC ECU

as we have talked about over the last week as the car has had some mods done to it already and this is the ecu he has recommened for my car already
