Hi people,

Im looking at getting some equal length headers... Currently im running some aftermarket s/s semi tuned headers. If i do a direct swap am i going to have to get my tune (powerFC) touched up? or will it be fine to carry on using the same tune?

Any help is much appreciated.

listen to maserati micks fozzy... i fitted equal length headers to his... he still runs stock down pipe with cat converter so the exhaust note is real smooth... have herd equal lengths with a straight through exhaust and it sounds raspy as !!! like a hollow sound... i dont like but everyones different...

micks headers look identical to the set they sell at scarles out west...

Mine's like that, except it's not a hollow sound, more a nice deep raspy sound. I love it over the old un-equal length header noise. That's with twin scroll equal length headers and 3" TBE HKS Silent Hi-Power.

Extremely good quality. The twin scroll ones turned up for our car today...

Nice...but your still screwd for thoes unles you can find a V8 on twin scroll sump, oil pickup, windage tray, dipstick tube and dipsitck. I just did the conversion and wasnt as strght forward as some made out to be lol.

Not just headers, lines, turbo, downpipe and sump.(altho in its own adds up pretty quick and if you can find etc) Then above bits and up pipe bracket too. Not that much extra parts but enough to do your head in especially after trying to find a bloody twin scroll factory sump!

yeah I know it says "not twin scroll" but to me it looks like the two RH banks pipes would be pretty damn close if not to close to a normal old school sump! Got some pics to say otherwise? not tryna argue just making sure as if I bought them and no one said anything then they hit my sump whos pain in the ass is it going to be then...

Ps ADIKT ive heard of people bending the origianl pickups to be work with the twin scroll sump and also cutting and re marking the original dipstick to twin scroll one length but im just stating whts required to do the version 8 factory twin scroll mod properly. People can choose to go about it how ever they like tho lol

Wrap em up or heatcoat them too.i done both.i like the sound some do some dont its an aggresive 4cylinder note simular to a 4g63/sr20 at low revs with a raspy top end sound i run a ewg of the uppipe and when the gate kicks in it sounds like a gated evo also guess any car period will sound a bit different with tuned 4into1 tuned headers

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
