Dude great video honestly. Idk if I would get the China version but they don't sound too bad! The job is a bitch to do huh? I'm not looking forward to it lol
@@ronnysunoo it’s not hard just tedious. Some bolts can be a pain to get to. I think it’s harder to remove the stock manifolds vs installing the new ones. Just make sure you get all the bolts/nuts started before you tighten them down. Gives you some wiggle room to start the next bolt.
Hey have a question finally got around to installing them but I’m having exhaust leaks at the clamps to the little mid pipes that go over the metal brace and into the resonator? Did your clamps work well or do they leak? Need some help of you don’t mind! Mine vibrates and has leaks at the clamp points and where it connects to the resonator thanks!
Mine worked well. However, I believe I welded most of the pipes and just clamped to the headers. I’ll have to check next time I’m under it. No issues with my clamps though
@@cody1413 thanks for the reply! Was curious I’m going to go with eurocharged but have to ride without a tune for a bit was worried it might be bad for the car that’s why I asked.
The thing about saving money with cheap headers is you will have the huge pain in the ass of installing them twice once the welds break. If you can deal with that, go on. Best case they‘ll never break and you have some cheap headers.
let me see if i understood... your setup remove: original header / 1st and 2nd cats but maintained the ressonator and mufflers, am i right? my question is because i get the same JDLD kit for my c63... and my exhaust system is completelly OEM. it is my dailly car so i am afraid about the noise when i am not accellerating... is it loud in normal situatiion?i know if i accel the noise will appear but my question is in normal situation( driving in city for ex.)
Headers, then x-pipe, then factory mufflers. Everything else is removed. Car is very quiet unless over 1/2 throttle. Can barely hear the exhaust when driving down the highway.
No complaints other than the exhaust gaskets they provide don’t last long. I would use new OEM gaskets. Fitment is great. Compared sounds to my friends car who has a different brand long tube headers and mine seems a bit louder and slight different tone.
How are they holding up 9 months later? Are you running an X pipe (in place of secondary cats) and straight pipe (in place of resonator) and stock mufflers in that cold start clip?
Holding great minus the cheap exhaust gaskets they provide. Go with OEM gaskets. Yes and yes. Headers to x-pipe to stock mufflers. You won’t find a better sounding car imo.
Have you experienced any rubbing / rattling since these were installed ? I got the same one and every time i go to turn left they’re vibrating on the cross member or something idk
I’m considering buying these headers because they sound very good and compared to the mainstream headers, very cheap. Are they worth getting? Any downsides to cheap headers?
@@cody1413 wow 10k miles! I’m really just concerned about the quality and scared about metal bursting and damaging engine/ anything else. How’s the build quality? I’m seriously considering it because of the sound and price
@@danielamg1363 there’s nothing the headers could do to damage the engine. You will need a tune after installing the headers. If you’re not tuned already, you’ll gain probably 50-80hp if not more with headers. Build quality Is quite good. Only complaint is the bolt holes are a bit larger, but still fits just fine.
