probably around the $100 mark if they're a direct swap, it doesn't take more than an hour with the right equipment.

The hardest part is removing/attaching the heatshields.

fark... man...

i got ripped... they dont fit our system. the extrators were too long, and bigger than our existing one...

farkk... i feel bad now...

it cost me 280 to modify and fix teh problem.. awwww....... T.T

Dun worry, at least they're instlaled now, yeah? .. how does it feel now? *think about it like this - a TRD or other header system would of cost 500 odd + , so u still sort of 'saved' money

all done now... extractors were 100bucks anyways.... 250 for installation and modification...

350 all together ...

the exhast shop modified the sportivo system on my car(ASCENT) to fit it.. more noise now...

performance wise?

feels like there is more torque.... in the mid range...

tested?

not yet but will soon be test with another rolla with a catback and cai...

I put my headers in on my own with the help of a mate..

took us 3 hours...

most of the time was spent trying to undo 1 bolt lol..the mother wouldnt turn

[DuGong]

lucky urs was a straight bolt on one.. mine was too long so we had to modify abit to make it fit....

i couldnt have done it at home anyways.,...

What brand headers were they??

[GtiRboy]

[DuGong]

DC Sports...

[GtiRboy]

Anyone got Genie header on the rolla?

[DuGong]

its not genie... its wildcat... there was no model number for the genie headers.

[GAZOOM]

Just called Best Mufflers they quoted 330 for the wildcat headers + 165 for install.

Danz - I believe you have them already on the Hamster can you comment on the performance ?

Thanks

Nah mate I'm thinking headers, hi flow cat and sports resonator.

I already have resonator back system with twin loop muffler.

[DuGong]

sounds good~!

u should give me a run and grey rolla a run... wanna see the diff between the headers and manual vs auto..

Maybe see if someone is selling their cat off a sportivo. That would be a nice cheap alternative for a 1zz and prolly produce the same gains. :D

[DuGong]

tested the DC sport headers.

they have good gains.

they work too..

i was able to get a car length on another rolla with catback twin loop...

[DANZZT231]

Wildcat header gives u low-mid gain.

Somebody else in this forum uses the header also I think.

[Hsien]

yes..i had wild cat header on my rolla too...after reading at the gain that Danz got...i think it is pretty good and low to mid range gain was excellent making the car easier to drive when it is fully loaded with people..

[GAZOOM]

Just got my car back from Best Mufflers in Carlton. Had the Genie (Wildcat) headers installed today.

Have to say so far I'm veryhappy with the results and service from Best Mufflers.

Danz and Hsien you guys are spot on the low and mid range feels very different now much easier to drive.

Cant wait to dyno the car. Anyone want to come in Sydney?

[DANZZT231]

A-ha, finally a picture of the header. its a nice looking header and it works too. Kinda looked like a long-tube race header too :)
