Yea same, to get to that hanger I would've needed to pull out my jackstands and floor jack and I'm so lazy I rather used my friends ramps

Well i got my cnt v2 header on. Grimspeed head gasket and a vibrant overpipe gasket. With o2 spacer. Have abour 100km on it and no CEL but probably just jinxed myself. Install went fairly easy. Only problem was snaping the nut of the old header stud that connects to the overpipe but it didnt cause a problem because the nut came off and the header came our. Just need to drill out the bolt if i ever install it again. Install took me about 3 hours by myself. Jacking it up till turning it on. Everythiing lined up real easy and went on nicely. No complaints. I love the sound she makes with the berk muffler delete but it is rather loud and there is no quiet driving anymore. Can't tell if there is a slight exhaust leak or its just the rasp everyone talks about without having a muffler. Ill look into it more today. Performance wise, butt dyno says it revs nice all the way to 7500 and seems to get there a bit quicker. Im hoping to have a oft sooner than later to get the most out of it. But for now it's good

I have that same raspiness, and couldn't tell if it's an exhaust leak, the header just gets so damn hot it's near impossible to feel any rushing air if there is any

Herby15 · 05-21-2016, 07:01 PM

Yes I will try and get a video up of it. Just got a gopro suction cup so should work nicely.

Yeah raspiness is bad. Ive done everything and think there is no leak and its just raspy. So overall I think i installed it well and recommend the header to everyone.

The issue is the same with a several other headers its the fact its not surrounded by foam and fiberglass and in a metal heat shield, that not being there creates a lot of the rasp through that thin wall tubing.

Try wrap it

ort895 · 05-24-2016, 01:51 PM

I definitely want to wrap mine and see how it effects noise.

I wrapped mine ended up ripping the wrap and stainless steel zip ties off during install as they got too close to the exhaust manifold studs and just decided to ignore wrapping it.

As a side note I just ordered a nameless 3 inch axleback with 5 inch mufflers that will pair with this uel, I will be recording and posting video for you all to hear and see when I get a chance. From what I heard the build quality is quite good and drone is non existant.

Nameless exhausts are amazing. I'm jealous! Vids are a must

I installed my CNT V2 with a HFC front/overpipe and a Buddy Club Spec 2. Needless to say, that combo didn't last very long lol. Loudest thing on the street. Currently trying to decide on a catback with a muffler.

If you sell the HFC front pipe , the buddy club spec 2 and then put the stock front pipe on a perrin resonated would be perfect.

Yup, I will be go proing it and then having a friend do drive bys and such. Nameless quality is insane but so is the wait honestly, they do everything made to order and they said they'll start it in a week, so I should have it mid june.

I should be getting my bonus around the same time so I'm hoping I'll have my exhaust done by then too
