Header thread #9001
After reading through the compilation threads and using the handy dandy search button I could not find information on Apexi's header/over pipe/front pipe kit. (Part #149-T014J) Has anyone used it? Does it actually exist? For the price it seems like something I wouldn't mind experimenting with but there has to be a reason I haven't found so much as a youtube video of it in action.
:sigh: |
It costs $2200 MSRP. That's why.

My local parts guy can get the kit for around $1600 shipped. I'm gonna call tomorrow and get more info about it. I may end up being the forum guinea pig if I don't hear anything negative about it.

Do it and report back with pics and audio clips

IMO, you are paying an extremely high premium for the apexi brand. I highly doubt it will sound any different or outperform any cheaper similar setup.
|
It is a 4-2-1 header w/ a normal overpipe and a catted front pipe and oversized resonator.
If there is something unique about this design, I'm not seeing it other than the resonator. -alex Edit: http://www.apexi-usa.com/store/exhau...ubaru-brz.html |
If you're spending that cash, why not go with the Holy Grail of headers and get the Ace? It's a known quantity and has proven super gains

Looking at it strictly from a header/overpipe/frontpipe point of view you are saving a few dollars then if you pieced it together and got a resonated front pipe or something with cats. Depends on what you're using obviously.
I, personally, would go with a proven combo.... but there is something to be said for buying a kit you know works together. |
I was looking at Ace but who knows when they'll start producing again. :(
I'm not exactly in a rush or anything. I just want to see if anyone has used this kit before. The header looks similar to the HKS non-catted which shows good gains. I think the fact that the Apexi comes with a matching over pipe and front pipe is what really has my interest, but that could just be OCD talking. |
The front pipe looks nice. Looks like it would help tone down the sound a lot of you add headers like how the kit does. How much is the front pipe separately?

Kestrel: imho halt won't be that long. Maybe in month or two it will end. At least i read that new product release like maybe then they will be back to production. One can always inquire CSG about availability anyway.

I checked on the availability of this kit yesterday and got the all good. When I finish filing my taxes I may go ahead a pull the trigger... :thumbsup:
