Thread: What Did You Do To Your B14 Today?

just got these aebs headers and had an 02 bung and a skid plate welded on. I also painted them black with high temp paint.These are going on my b14 tomorrow

before

throw some header wrap on them...you'll thank me later.

soo jealous dude! I remember there was a guy in san diego selling these for $100. This wouldnt happen to be the header would it?


I know header wrap is good and all, but i read somewhere that running the wrap may crack your header. As for the location of the "crack" happening, I have no idea.

Yes, it can happen and if the header is mild steel it can deteriorate quicker. I don't mind on on my $90 ebay header. The trade-off is worth it. Now I probably wouldn't wrap the HotShot Gen 3 header on my P10 since it already has the usual crack at the primaries...but who knows, I might get an itch to try it. It helps keep underhood temps down and helps throttle response.

Throttle response? hmmm. I am assuming this is a result to the reduced engine bay temps (since "cooler" air is denser air)? Maybe it benefits those who run a short ram/wai setup more than a cai setup?

The throttle response is probably due to exhaust scavenging. But lowering underhood temps is always a good thing especially if you're running a short ram/WAI set-up.

Gonna be slapping a tag on it and getting it out on the main roads for the first time in my name :3. Pretty excited.

Also, hunting for amber corner lights. If anybody has them, let me know. It's either that or I'll get amber tint for them.

just get them tinted is your best bet

I probably will. Just gotta find the tint.


Also, actually went out and drove the car on the main roads today. Hit a few bumps. Realized my right front strut is seriously leaking. Gonna need me a set of KYBs.
