header
- Thread starter Ace
- Start date
Might be reasonable. Like a 4-2-1 long tube header? We just released one for the MX-3 1.6l DOHC & SOHC. That header is a beast - almost 3.5' tall for the DOHC setup - as it includes a huge section of the exhaust on the car behind it. But we took our time and designed it in a manner that allowed it to be used on a wide variety of 1.6 and 1.5l SOHC & DOHC engines.
For submitting product ideas, take a look at our product submission page on our website. We'd love gather some info from you to put into our product development lifecycle. I can guarantee you that idea will go on our list of evaluated items - and we really do a lot of due diligence to determine which products we build.
We've got a few headers that we have developed and sell for both piston and rotary engines and it's something we'd like to get more into in the future. Unfortunately it took us nearly a year to get enough people on board for that MX-3 header to get it off the ground and build the tooling to go into production.
Talk to you soon,

that would be cool but still doesnt get rid of the ugly ass manifold
True, but I bet the cat is 10X as restrictive as the manifold, and way more stealth. Nothing a painted heat shield won't fix
this is true but i also dont have a heat shield (car didnt come with one)
What, you don't like the authentic patina of cast iron on it's journey back to the iron ore from whence it came? I can understand that. Is sound really that much of an issue - I mean, it sounds like there's some value in having the look of a stainless header with decent flow but not the high decibel tradeoff.
I'd be curious what the market would be for a shorty header on the FS. Something that just dumped into the factory catalyst and then included a separate J pipe with a high flow cat option. Might avoid the rasp sound of the long tube designs as the collector occurs sooner.
Would be easier to deal with clearance issues in the design that way as well.
Thoughts?

If you make them both able to work with all stock parts, then that would be amazing. I would buy just the test-pipe portion to eliminate the first cat and keep it stealth legal for nazi CA cops lol.
You could then sell them as a set, and separately, with maybe a deal for buying the set.

- 2000 Protege ES
I'm in if you ever release one for the 99-00 Protege 1.8l DOHC. I'd also prefer it to be CARB legal so I can still run the car on California streets.
It takes a lot of $$$ and testing to be CARB legal, and the only thing that even has a chance is a shorty header that dumps into the stock cat, as removing/changing the cat location kills all hopes of carb legal-ness
i got a header, high flow midpipe and rb catback and mine isnt raspy.
it would be cool to make a shorty header for those who want that but i rather have a 4-2-1 or 4 into 1 longtube design something that makes power.I could careless about the cats being on the car plus i want to take it to the track run it road race and other stuff like that. I want to make power without the restriction of the cats.

^^ +1, but instead of just a shorty header, how about a good long tube 4-2-1 header for those of us who dont have any emissions or inspections (FL baby). plus, the long tube at the end of that would be easy to get a highflow cat installed keeping the raspyness to a minimum. Just my $.02
i was talking about with the corksport exhaust though, i have heard your setup and it sounds great
true. oh yeah...didnt i send you the clip? im a dumbass.
All good ideas. We're doing some work on our Turbo MP3 in the next few weeks and we'll probably have good access to evaluate our options and the opportunity costs of the various choices on these headers as a potential product at that time. Will keep you posted. If you have any other ideas or questions, let me know.
