Hurricane vs X-Force - Extractors/headers

Postby JSE » Mon Aug 14, 2006 10:14 am

Who here has Hurricane or X-Force headers on their NA? I am tossing up whether to spend a minimum or go all out with the x-force ones?

if more people say x-force, then go x-force

i have hurricane headers!

they seem well made, and perform very well..got them off ebay for $100... then got them hpc coated.. :mrgreen: makes a huge difference with under bonnet temps.. if your getting headers get them coated!!!

I would go hurriane for the simple fact that they are mild steel, and not stainless like the x-force ones. Mild steel is better suited to headers, with all the heating and cooling headers do, stainless steel tends to crack after time.. If your going to \"go all out\" whatever you get, make sure you get them hpc coated..

here's mine..

Another vote for HPC coated mild steel (Like hurricanes)

Cheaper, more durable, cooler under bonnet temps and still has a shiny gleam that lasts and will not discolour with heat like stainless will...
