The budget header made by Charles has a 3inch dp. Now I also am reading it will not clear a 3inch dp.



Please clear this up so I can know for sure if I can fit the v2 under my 4-2-1 3inch dp made by Charles.

Thanks allot.

Ok ,hopefully this will answer all the above quoted questions,followed by pics.
First off,Dudeman,I am running the ASP budget header from the first group buy made by Charles.Mine is 2 bolt flanged,not vband,and the bar clears no problem.There are no clearance issues whatsoever,so you are good to go
Also, for height reference,my NX sits on hyperco Gen2/agx with 205/50-15.There is 3 1/4" clearance to the ground,as you can see in the pics.
The pics also show the Hiem joint setup,as Overkill (Mark)said,he is sending solid ends. There was a tiny bit of pivoting front to back with the Heim joint setup that we both feel is unwanted.
Otherwise,the clearance between the crossmember is about 1/8" .It sorta crosses in front of the 2 bolt flange at the end of my midpipe.This makes it kinda tuck up in there,so the bar only hangs a little lower than the exhaust flange,it may kinda save it from taking a whack,actually...very nice!!
I believe the bar is the same clearance or more than the back of my second resonator has.

Ok as for the handling difference...
Major improvement at initial turn in is immediately noticeable.The front end feels more solid for sure.I thought the car handled pretty good already,but apparantly the front end was floppier than I thought.
I have been autocrossing the car lately and put alot of miles on the nx down these windy backroads where I live.That is my only real judge of it right now.Let me just say,I cant wait to get out after some cones again.
So far,I think it is a great mod for the money,IMO.

OK on to the pics...again,the Heim joints will be replaced with solid ends.

So to fix the problem we are swaping out the heim joints for eye hole joints. Same price, just does not allow the bar to move.

Awesome,Mark ...you are on it.

Just curious Eggman what size tires are you running on your Nx. Also how much do you think that bar weighs? Just bought one I hope it is as good as you say bro, I trust you.
