CNT header unequal length - Page 11 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Bergen23 · 07-09-2015, 01:12 AM

Decided not to install, my new exhaust is a bit on the loud side, so I'll be selling this off.

That gave me more then enough room to pull the header out.

Awesome, thanks!

How do the welds and collectors look man?

The welds are decent, collector looks like it belongs on a 300 dollar header. It's on par (imo) with the open flash header

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you guys but i was super busy and the parts sat around for about a month before i got a chance to install them. The header fitment was perfect, after making sure it fit i ceramic coated it and installed it. No complaints and the sound it makes is well worth it. I am using the OFT UEL stage 2 tune and the performance difference is very noticeable.

Install was easy, though it may be better to use OEM or Grimspeed gaskets. Switched back to stock exhaust and added stage 2 OFT. Originally I had 2.5" from the overpipe back with a high flow cat. Car is much quieter and noticeably more powerful. There is less of an on/off feel when the car transitions from 3.5k to 4.5K rpm...power is just more consistent through out.

I'm jealous of you guys who had an easy time fitting the header. One flange was about 1/8" of an inch off no matter how I tried putting it on. Ended up slipping right on after a whack with a rubber mallet. Also had to use a second gasket for the over pipe connection. But for under 480(Canadian) I can't complain. Seems on par with the OpenFlash header at half the price.

Edit: on par in terms of build quality, sound and performance. Again, for a budget buy, no qualms so far. Excusing the trouble I had while installing, well worth what I paid.

Drunkenly ordered one of these last night.

So I guess I'll have more feedback for you guys soon.

Installed this CNT header and the PLM overpipe last night. Sounds great and no contact issues. Thankfully we didnt have any fitment issues with the header. Wrapped the header and overpipe with titanium header wrap, which I was happy didn't smoke the whole way home.

I haven't flashed to stage 2 yet. Has anyone made adjustments to the Stage 2 OFT tunes for this header?

The design is very similar is the OFH on which the stage 2 tunes are based. I'd imagine the off the shelf tune will work pretty well.

It's been working out fairly well for me. Need to do some adjustments to get it decent.

Good to hear. I noticed that near the first O2 sensor, the exhaust gets near some wires, (picture #5 http://www.cntracing.com/CNT-Racing-...-p/hd-9701.htm) any signs of damage?
