Everything is great, like lots have said, we need to see the dyno!

Why is mine only 2.25 ...Im gonna have to remeasure mine and double check..

But back on topic...The header looks really nice and the price is perfect....will deffinately be adding this to my wishlist

Well it is an exact copy of our header. Here is a couple pictures from our dyno header we used on the dyno. even the flange is cut the same. the design is exactly the same. Any comments is welcome.

Yeah i have a comment, when are the tsudo headers coming out so we can get to buying them...lol

tcengel

So, can we see a recent dyno? I'm trying to decide between the two right now.

EnoLiddell

Any updates speedelement? Saving up money at the moment to buy this header in the future. Im deciding between this header and alphawerks but im leaning towards tsudo. Once i see the whp/tq gains of this header/s-pipe, then i will definitely buy one or at least put in a preorder.

TongMan

Very tempting...I got the Supercharger on my tC w/ stock header and Invidia S=pipe...how hard of an install will this be to work around the Supercharger? I'd have to replace my S-pipe with this one.

TongMan

I gotta wait till next paycheck to get this header and s-pipe!! So will the anti-fouler trick work to get the CEL out?

speedelement

yea the guy we test fit the header on used the "help!" anti fouler trick and hasnt had a problem with the CEL.
the s/c looks really close to the header.. might be able to get it up from the bottom and hopefully the bolt wont be blocked by that shaft.

Mugetsu

The trick WAS to get the header changed before the S/C install, but like speed said it may be possible from under the car(may be).
if you do decide to go for the header i suggest breaking the bank and either getting it "jet hot" coated OR investing the 80$ in thermotec's header "blankets" its a very high temp resisting material(not fiberglass like wrap) and they simply snap on over the runners, this will save you MUCHO money since it will protect the S/C seals from the excess heat.

Dyno numbers?

speedelement

workin on the dyno numbers... gotta wait til the header comes in then we're planning to do one with complete tsudo exhaust.

how's the thermotec blanket compared to wrap? never wanted to do those header wrap/cover type things because of metal fatigue caused to the header.

Mugetsu

I can't really say since i don't have it, I was going to use it for when i ran a Nitrous kit, but decided against the N2O so i never bought the blanket.

it's supposed to be just like wrap but can be removed easily any time.

then there are these...

and this is how thermo-tec claims it works...

but what ever it is its not "fiberglass" like most other heat wrap.

400 miles with the Tsudo Header, and I still haven't got a CEL with the anti-fouler mod

Hmmm I need a new exhaust, and I already have the header, hook it up son! LOL

well how is it?
good fit?
hows your power curve feel?
good low end TQ?
how about on the highway doe it still make the car pull well?
what size is the collector?

the only thing i can add is the collector is 2.5", and it fit well, no interference or rattling at all when we installed it. NVMyTc will hopefully give you more info on fitment/power.

1. I love the header, it looks amazing and makes the car pull a little harder
2. The fit was great, The guy who installed it said he didn't have one fitment issue
3. The power is solid all the way through the gear, I would actually say it even made the car smoother
4. I really cant comment on Low end TQ, From the butt dyno, I don't feel a power loss if thats what you mean.
5. The car has more power in every gear, it pulls better on the highway.

Hey don't do any dyno with other mods. Do Scion life a favor this once and clarify how much just the the header itself puts out. MMW had already failed to provide true dyno chart. They stated that it puts out 26hp and later we hear it also had this and that. Dyno the headers by itself with stock mods and you'll get peoples trust. Don't get everyone confused about your product like MMW did.
