extractors/headers from redline performance

[Guest SPANKU]

thats right. im not bad mouthing them i do support thier product and used them many of time. Im just pointing out what i think of the extractor and what problem to be expected

good services and discounts from phil and the ben there at redline, oh and that other asian guy hehe. just because its cheap it doesnt mean its bad. i would get another sooner or later from them.

[wrx_lou]

Yeah redline are great to deal with. Spent a fair bit of my coin there. The didnt have tuned ones there about a month ago when I was looking, but im sure if you talk to them they would be able to get some in.

Redline also do a more expensive set at around the $800 mark, so if you do want better ones, but not hugely expensive then maybe they are another option.

Those more expensive ones "SSI" I think? are around $950 from memory but you can tell where the money is being spent if you hold a set up next to the ~$350 ones. The collector has a very nice, smooth cone in the centre and the flanges are all cast pieces. The piping and welding is generally a higher standard too, as you'd expect for the dollar and Japanese vs Chinese manufacture. The cheaper ones are quite rough inside and the wall thickness is thinner. Plus that collector sitting so low looks like a magnet for anything taller than a worm lying on the road. I've dented an oil filter before, so I wouldn't want to run the risk with exhaust manifold hanging a further 50-80mm lower.

Yes, from memory it was the SSI ones.

I think this is the link for them (but they have a picture of twin scroll ones : ) but that was about the cost and these are stated as untuned length v1-7 headers on their main page.

Although with HKS twinscroll ones on special for $787.50, they'd be worth looking into getting an adapter made if still single scroll to lift and twist the turbo.

has anyone had any dealing with these?

Seem to be well priced and are equal length also

looks almost identical to mine from redline as SPANKU said...are those equal length?? doesnt look to be equal...

[DAKRNK]

i did ask that on the auction and he said yes they are.

[marc]

they are "semi tuned", I had a set on my old car. As said the two bottom pipes hang pretty low tho!!! (got couple pics somwhere maby). Have abit of rumble down low but go more single tone up top. (not single tone like SYMS tuned length with the 2 into 1 uppipes tho).

xforce do have slip joints which are prone to leaking which is a right PITA.

/quote]

that is because most retards dont put them together properly. a bit of maniseal in a syringe and feed it into the "female" slip joint. mine havent leaked yet and have had on for over a year

hmmm.

my problem is i keep breaking the little metal strap that holds them together...

also, has anyone got pics of how they wrapped the bit around the bend on true equal length headers?

[Simon C]

I just bought more heat wrap. Kind of an expensive way to do things though. At least I know that every single spot of my header tubing is in contact with heat wrap.

i used springs on my set bro. works a treat.

[Guest]

In my experience mate stainleess headers are a waste of money, Ive had a set of sta(good quality)did crack after 6 months,blitz(tuned length)-shit!!! the slips joints kept cracking,currently removed a american made set as thier slip joints started leaking as well so i would port match the standard ones and put up with the weight of them. Sorry to be negative mate but ive spent heaps of money on headers and didnt seem the benefit as i would change to a different set after 6 months

[WRXER]

Damn thats unlucky, I've gone through only 1 set in 5 years so only on my 2nd now. And thats with lots of track application too.
