How much hp and torque from 1 header?

klzekillerchris · Post by **klzekillerchris** » August 21st, 2006, 9:04 pm

I know it seems a bit weird... But I bought 1 header from a buddy of mine who had a klze mx-3 also. The other one was damaged so I didn't want it, I want to know how much hp and torque I will gain off putting one header on and running 1 stock manifold. I know it's a strange question but I just couldn't pass up a deal like that, I got it for $250. That's a deal considering it's a CUSTOM header. Someone please get back to me soon, I want to get my new cold air intake installed at the same time and I want to do that asap.

Thanks guys!

Hey guy, i was actually wondering the same thing becuase i had a similar thing happen to me, only thing was this isnt a custom header it was just an ss autochrome made by hksor rays. i think i should get like 12 hp or somthing out of it .

um i doubt u will get 12 hp from ONE header.. you get around 12 with BOTH.. and thats if you are lucky... VERY lucky.

not sure about the gains from 1 header, not even sure what hp gain your friend got with both installed. $250 for 1 header with questionable results to start with seems like a lot, especially when you can pay another $125 and get a brand new set. do you know how much it will cost to get the other side made? also may need to get them made at the same shop.

ss autochrome is not even remotely related to hks or rays

Oh yeah. I'm sure it'll line up just marvelous. And then to pay MORE than you pay for a new full header system. Maybe he's into something heavier than pot. Licking toads maybe?

maybe he grinds up toads and puts them in his pot

Damn, you guys are ridiculous. the guy asks a simple question and you go off?

everyone has to start somewhere. you're better off saying nothing than tearing down a new member if you ask me. but what the hell do i know?

If you want my opinion, you got ripped off bad. first off, you dont want to do just one header. you're creating an inbalance in backpressure between the banks. is this a big issue? not really, but a properly tuned V engine tries to avoid such things at all costs. hence why the stock y pipe is "tuned" using lengths of pipe for the rear to use resonance to its advantage. this is obviously a simple explanation to a vast topic, but take their advice (even if ther are a--holes about it)
