Up on stilts with Miltek header removed ready for replacement...




The Miltek has served me well but the cat went bad and the good people at Stratmosphere (US distributor of Miltek) has been absolutely golden through my warranty process...they sent me a new one in exchange for the old

The new Miltek's cat has been redesigned to prevent future failure and I'm still debating whether I need a cat at all (yes...I'm a hate monger and an evil conservatist who likes to club baby seals in my time off when I'm not beating my kids )...

I got a new Megan header off Ebay...well it's not Megan but made by the same manufacturer according to the seller...and it's cheap so I thought I try it out first as I need to install another bung for my wideband and drill a hole for my EGT probe...This time, I'm also going to make a template of my Webb's larger exhaust ports and grind the header flange to match...talk about the last huge bottleneck:impatient What's the point of a ported head when it meets up with a flange that's stock size!!!...don't want to do that to the Miltek if I decide to sell it later

It might be loud as hell so I'll let you guys know later...if I can live with the extra volumn...I'll put up the new Miltek header/cat for sale at a discount...

 

Ok, good read but I have one question...why do you take off your wheels to change out the header

 

I was going to clean the insides of my wheels while going through the trouble Seriously, I like to check my struts, brake lines, etc whenever I have the Mini jacked up...

 

I was wondeing what had happened to you ? Now I know your under the car!!! Ever take a look at my drawing?

You know what still sucks - your car looks good even on stands!

sh@#%$t even the jack stands look good.

 

Hey bud I've been waiting for your email reply...

 

go ahead and do the milltec it'll still fit a stock head yeah? the seal will still be there yeah?

 

Look at the difference between the Webb head exhaust opening and the header flange



Inside line is the flange...

 

Wow pretty big difference. You think it'll be a good size increase in seat of the pants feel?

BTW I agree with BahamaBart, even on stands your car looks amazing. And the red stands do look equally nice. Your car is so clean. Always been a fan. Good luck!

*EDIT* BTW, please do tell your impressions on the Megan Header compared to the Miltek. Quality, fitment, etc.

 

Thanks and I will take more close ups of the two headers...

 

are u going to use the test pipe included with the megan header or are u gunna use a cat?

 

I think so...

 

oh true...that's gunna be LOUD

do u think u could take a quick sound clip if possible...im thinkin about gettin the megan and am curious of how it sounds

 

I've done sound clips and it never sounds anything like it does in person...they're really useless IMO

Imagine someone asking to make a sound clip of their 5000 watt sound system...it just doesn't work...

 

I'm interested in how you feel about the two. Also could you take a shot of the CAT that came with the new header. I'm curious at what the inside looks like compared to my new header.

Gosh you have the mirrors off too..haha

 

LOL...there's no cat with the Megan It's a very short resonator...I don't really know why they even bothered...it doesn't look like it's even functional...I could always claim that it IS a cat since it kinda looks like one

 

 

Sid ... don't be a bad boy ... the tree huggers know where you live

Dr. O is going to fry ur butt

 

Ha ha ha...but WE are the REDNECKS who stock pile all the guns and ammo Ok...I'm technically not a redneck as Asian really don't get sunburns easily

Does farting contribute to global warming? Cow's are supposedly resonsible for majority of those bad gasses but human beings comes as close second bbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmm.......ooops...sorry about that...

 

Having been someone who had run the megan racing without cat...It is loud as hell!

You will probably find yourself switching back to the cat...

 

There you go with SpidyX trying to scare me again I can always replace the test pipe with another resonator...

Can't wait to check out the flames coming out the back end next time out

 

from another thread...

has anyone else experienced this??

 

I love where it says you're location is

Dude if there are seriously flames let us know i want an exhaust that shoots flames lol I have a Webb Catback right now... im looking for header though

Mikey

Hey...Your school's name is too funny
