I just got a set from Stu. Looks great and can't wait to get it installed.

I have already done a base line dyno to see the power gains.

Anyone with installation tips for the headers?

 

Awesome, can you post baseline numbers? Curious to see what dynojet numbers are for bone stock car.

Are you running headers with stock cats? Or do you already have aftermarket cats on the car?

 

I have the headers installed in my v8v, took about 14 hours to install. Make sure the installer has someone around with small hands. One of the final bolts in the middle if the header is VERY hard to reach. Eventually my installer had to get his 4 year old to reach up and start the bolt for him. I have the headers, cats and exhaust, it's a symphony everytime you drive it. I highly recommend all three.

 

that picture shows the mini dynojet. (not the benchmark, 248e) But, still would like to see the dyno numbers for baseline


headers look like art! nice!

 

I have the baseline on the stock car. It came in at 300HP at the wheels.

I will post the base dyno. When I get emailed the graph.

 

I too will be dyno'ing my stock Vantage tomorrow. My baseline was 311hp at the tires on a 248C. I am installing the Velocity ecu tune as well, but no headers, my car is completely stock from a performance standpoint. This should give a good idea of what the stock system will be capable of with the ecu alone. More mods later. I will post video etc too and impressions once it's all done.

I sent my car in to get the headers installed and when trying to fit the right hand side header, the mechanic found that the EGR pipe is missing.


The car is on the hoist and the mechanic has asked whether I want to seal the EGR pipe and install or abort the install and wait for the correct part to arrive.


What do you think I should do?

 

Are there two versions of the headers? Did maybe some years had EGR and others did not. Check with Stuart to see, maybe they just sent the wrong one and it's an easy switch

 

Wondering if the CA cars had EGR and ROW did not...(ROW=Rest Of World)

 

It looks like the Singapore cars have EGR as well. Will the car still work properly if I don't connect the EGR pipe to the exhaust?

 

It may work properly, but will probably show emissions fault light constantly. I am assuming the EGR on the car is electronic. Years ago they were mechanically actuated by vacuum dashpots and you could disable them on certain models without any check engine lights. Pretty sure that's not how they are now though.

 

You need to have the right set, otherwise EGR fault will be continuous as Art suggests

 

Thanks for the help.

Stu is going to send me a new set.

 

Awesome, glad to see he took care of you on them, that's great customer support

 

Keep us posted when you get the parts installed!
