They look very similar I would say exactly to the Hotpipes one but no logo. Quality is really decent.

I will post something step by step, in the mean time you can see this. After the 90 degrees factory turn you have the choice of using a short pipe(safer) or a longer one just your call.
This are some pictures:

The Headers are in, after freaking three hours of work (now that we know what to do it might take only two), not counting an extra hour wrapping it with header wrap; took a lot of pictures for a write up. Is kind of too soon to say how much improvement. The first impression is easier response, and definitely good acceleration on higher rpms. , maybe because the 4-1 configuration.
Total wight loss came to 9 lbs. , mostly due to the extra remaining hardware that comes out. The factory header weights almost the same like the aftermarket one.
More info coming soon to a theater in your neighborhood

Haha, the first time is always a pain. Looking forward to your write up ( when? ) and power test.

Your project is so entertaining!
Can you tell me how you hook up the shiftlight on the engine?

Actually it seemed really hard until I found out. It comes with three wires, black (ground), red(power 12 v.), and green ( to the black/white wire coming off the coil, I used the coil closest to the driver's side of the car ).

Hallo Andres!!You've done good work on the car,keep on that way!
I think the induction you've made is not very good because is sucks hot air from the radiator.You should make it a short ram just like the corcksport design or long ram by placing the air filter behind the front left fog light(like the injen kit for the honda typeR ep3).An other option is to replace the air filter with an induction box (like BMC CDA-DIA) and then run a pipe to the front grill in order to have cold air.

You have a point, I thought of that, if you notice I am using a longer pipe before the filter that puts the cone barely on the lower left corner of the radiator below the fan, in top of that when I race only I use a ram air that connects to the end of the cone looking forward. I could move it even more to the left , but with the increase of power I got seemed pretty decent. I got a little bit more gain in HP than Corksports one.
Thanks for the input.

Not to be an a.. but did you read my answer post?
There are three cables coming out of each coil, red/ blue(power), black(ground)and black/white stripe, the one I used was the last one.I'll try to shoot a picture today.

So what do you say Mr. Floridian Header or Headers ??
BTW, the car power has increased more after 4 days with the Header. I can feel the improvement around 3000 rpms and gets really strong around 4700 rpms. This is butt dyno. I think I'm ready for Dyno. I think maybe 5-6 HP but this will really will be unleashed after I get the full header back, probably at least 10 HP all together based on my experience.
Hey Rodrigo , do you want to stop for a test drive/comparison this weekend?
