Notice the welded DP attached to the headers.

If I was in Cali I would go and get them test fitted but I'm all the way here in New York, so I don't think that will be possible, lol. I thought you had them installed on your galant but I guess not. Anyone in Cali want to test fit it please??

Naw, sorry i wish i did have them. But InsaneZane1 on Club 3G does have them.

You can send questions and concerns to Robert from [email protected] he purchased the first 100 sets of headers.

[J. T. Z.]

They look good. Has anyone volunteered for a test fit yet?

[EsRacer]

Where in Cali is the shop to get the test fit? I'm up in San Francisco and if it's near im down to get it test fitted. BTW is the pic up top from an Eclipse? Looks like the radiator hose is leakin pretty bad.

Hey guys,

I just emailed the guy bigjosh... and I am waiting for his reply. I'll let you guys know what he said and all that good stuff.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(CcVilleES)</div><div class='quotemain'>id like to get in on this buy, keep a brotha posted on whats happening</div>

i dont think there is a buy for these. kinda if you want them contact the guy!

[Mgalant99]

He just got back to me and this is what he said:


Dan,

These are really nice headers, 4 into 1 design, adds alot of hp, most people notice the biggest gain in the higher range 90+ speeds, I have noticed on the cars I have done alot of torque, example being able to pull a second and at times 3 gear chirp from the wheels. I have been selling alot of the the mits. not too many for Galant yet, we have just figured out that they will fit, so we are going after that crowd as well. what yr. is your Galant. thanks for looking.

I am contacting him again for information on setting up a groupbuy with our site. So lets start a list and see who is in on getting these headers.

Dan

[firespirit]

Thats awesome, keep me informed on when you set it up, and I'll be in!!!

[Mgalant99]

Ok not a problem!!! I may get them first and let you guys know how they are!!!

[MitGalant]

Hey can you guys tell me how does switching out the headers gives you better performance?? are they bigger than stock or something?? thanks https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_biggrin.gif

if you compare your stock headers to these u can possibly tell. the piping does have a say in the peformance but if you compare how the oem headers are bent, where and the degree u can see taht with the aftermarket type you are gonna get better flow...

[Jesse]

A lot of air is restricted with the oem design, your engine will breathe better with aftermarket. expect a true 15-20 hp gain.

[Mgalant99]

Thats exactly what Robert said. He said that on average they have been looking at 20 hp gain.

[J. T. Z.]

Now all we need is someone to test fit them!

[Mgalant99]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(J. T. Z.)</div><div class='quotemain'>Now all we need is someone to test fit them!</div>

No we don't!!! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif Robert and the Kamikaze team found someone with an 8G Galant and they test fitted the headers on that car. They fit!!! So lets start buying!!!

[bigjoshracing]

hey all these headers are in full production, a little diff. then the eclipse, where it hooks up to the downpipe is a little shorter. Results show this is doing very well, it is easy to install and performing great. I think I have the first 75 sets so get them while the getting is good. I am offering these well below retail so email me for your set at [email protected]

[BIGMONEYDAY]

Hey Big Josh, is there any word if they are going to be makin some for us V6ers?

[bigjoshracing]

no word yet, I hope they can make you guys some. Robert

[bigjoshracing]

Hey all I dont know what happend to the group buy, everyone has been sending emails saying Dan is missing. I will be more then willing to take your orders now at the group buy price. Email me let me know you are from tgc so i will give you the deal. thanks Robert [email protected]

[J. T. Z.]

Hey Robert, I was wondering if the fitment problem was taken care of if there even was one. I know one member on here (NRG) tried to put them on last week and they wern't fitting 100%. He also said that after installing them his muffler made a weird noise. Please post back soon as I want to order a set of the ceramic ones ASAP. If you want e-mail me a response that way I can get an order placed in the next day or two.

[bigjoshracing]

The headers fit fine, I think the problem was the person installing them with too short of bolts(me) if your talking of Roys. The fit fine and work great. The noise in the muffler is the muffler, the headers would not cause the muffler to act diff. the air volume is increased alot, but the headers wont do not change anything in the car.

Hahaha. I upgraded the bolts and nuts on Roy's ride to bigger ones. As for the muffler thing, yes and no it's caused from the headers.

Is it the headers fault that the exhaust sounds that way, YES but indirectly. Headers obviously will make the exhaust flow better and it will also make your exhaust pulse. A nicely tuned header will do this. This is a good thing as the exhaust out of each cylinder no longer collide with each other. This will cause the sound of the exhaust to change.

And NO because I'm sure a different muffler will dampen the sound differently than the one Roy has on.

Good or bad, it now sounds different. And Roy's particular exhaust, didn't handle the pulsing exhaust very well. I will leave it at that and let Roy give you the full report when he gets back. He went to Las Vegas with his ride for the meet so should have a nice report for you racking up all those miles :wink:

[bigjoshracing]

The header has little to no effect on how your exhaust is going to sounf. The sound comes from your pipe size resonator and muffler. The header just releases back pressure which gives you more flow, as far as the pulse thing, never really heard that one. I ran this question by the engineers at Kamikaze headers and they assured me that this header or any other header(as long as they are a equal lenght header, which is described as no pipe being 3 inches longer or shorter then the rest) will not change your exhaust. If your exhaust cant handle the new air volume or the muffler is not a high performance muffler then there maybe some noise, but the header does not make the noise. I would say almost all the cars I install these on there is a little to no diff. in sound. When Roy had his installed it sounded the same, no increase in sound. You have to remember you have alot more air pushing through your exhaust now.

[spiritborn]

How about the gains in performance? Anybody has technical info. on this? Anyone dyno'd it or tested it on the track?

[bigjoshracing]

on the eclipse 2001 the car dynoed at a mid 20 hp gain in the higher rpm range 5000+, really doing well.
