Which Headers for NC-2?

Postby Red_Bullet » Sun Jun 23, 2024 12:44 pm

Goodwin, Racing Beat, IL Motorsport or Liverpool Exhaust? Ceramic coated or not? This is a road car that gets occasional track use and will always remain normally aspirated. Is a reflash worthwhile with the header upgrade?

I'd say 'yes' to both questions, but no opinion on which to buy. Reflash probably a good thing anyway, regardless of headers, and if you are doing headers presumably doing a CAI too? What about some ITBs and/or mild cams? :) :wink:

I'm not going very far down the rabbit hole with this car, low hanging fruit only. 8)

I ordered the IL Motorsport 4 into 1 Header. I might get them ceramic coated locally.
