Which header would you get if price is not an issue?

MTH

Milltek

SS

OBX

Megan

Jackson

 

Supersprint

 

Custom built

 

MINI-Madness
custom coated with I/O pipe for convert

 

Custom sounds nice... know anyone locally that's up to the challenge?

Does anyone have a compiled listing of which headers produce what kind of power? It sure would make shopping easier for these things!

 

Thanks for the input. But could you tell me why?

All headers look to same to me, but no body knows how much HP will it add.

 

+1

 

Sorry, there's WAY too much variance in conditions between tests to say anything about [even simply relative] gains.

 

supersprint, hands up, and now they are almost half the price.

 

Jackson,

What are you going to use your MINI for?
Autocross/ Street/ Car shows/ Track/ Driving events?

Headers do look nice- from under the car. Except for track use, they might not be the best investment if you have not done other upgrades such as cylinder head work and cat-back exhaust that is free flowing.

 

ohh, his car is pretty loaded, trust me

 

Cost is no object?

 

wtf is that? headers for a twincharge?

 

Yes.

Not for the timed
:impatient

 

Price no issue - SS, price an issue - OBX - either way you end up with the same header.

 

Unfortunately no.
Most people I've spoken to on the peninsula don't even know what mandrel bends are much less work in stainless.

 

Mini-Madness has a good header too, with CAT and race pipe

 

Why nobody voting for the MTH header??

 

Count my vote for the coated MTH header with the Tuner software. Peerless build quality, coated for signfincantly reduced under-hood temps, great service and real seat-of-the-pants gains based on a remap that accounts for reduced back pressure.

 

I'm curious SandiaSky where did you get your MTH header coated and at what cost? Do you really feel that it made a difference in temperature? One last thing, I assume that you have the JCW exhaust, how is the sound quality? Thanks

 

I think the sound is awesome if we pair the MTH header with JCW catback, right sandia?

 

I didn't want to send my header out for coating so I called several of the parts houses and a few custom rod shops and asked them who they recommended. All of them recommended a local shop (Northwest Industrial Coatings) so I figured I couldn't go wrong.
I got mine coated inside and out for $133.00, 5 day turn around and no shipping involved.
So you might try making some phone calls. There might be a coating shop right in your own backyard.

 

Not exactly local but www.SMS-products.com , in Fredericksburg, is a respected maker of custom Honda headers and does other cars as well. After talking to a local guy with some and checking the SMSP site, I plan to call them and probably drive up to see what they may be able to do, for my MCS.

They do both, stainless and coated mild steel headers, and have flow tested a number of cats.

 

why buy the supersprint if the obx is the same thing. its a lot cheaper.
