Title: Diff. header(?) pipe Post by: grandpa nate on October 09, 2009, 08:06:14 PM Okie dokie kiddies....
Bought the full Termi system and i love everything except the placement of the header pipe from the front cylinder. Any recommendations on a diff one that will match up to the pipes? I just don't dig the own the side look, and want a more tucked in appearance.

Someone else chime in if I am wrong, but I seem to recall something about the older Termi/DP header routing interferred with the oil filter and the front header had to be dropped to change the filter. That seems like it would be a pain in the ass if you change your own and a reason for the shop to charge another 30min of labor if they do it.
My opinion, I like the routing. It cleans up the profile view of the bottom of the motor. Hides the junk that hangs out the bottom. What, you want more of my opinion? OK. They look better with a belly pan. Although, you have to cut the hell out of the pan to get it to fit and not touch the header. (seems like a good time to insert the "Opinions are like assholes" quote. Tis true that everyone has one, and all but mine stink!) Termi headers with belly pan. No subliminal messaging embedded, so hate if you want. (http://i32.tinypic.com/23igfv8.jpg) Title: Re: Diff. header(?) pipe Post by: tlloyd66 on October 10, 2009, 05:38:26 AM hate if you want.

They do killer work!
Title: Re: Diff. header(?) pipe Post by: rockaduc on October 11, 2009, 10:38:16 AM The 1st generation termi headers interferred with the oil filter and the drain plug. The 2nd gen. doesn't have those issues. THe only downside is that is a tight fit to remove/replace the mesh screen that lives behind the oil temp sensor.
Considering the difference in diameter of the stock pipes and the termis (7mm), i think they did a pretty good job w/ managing the packaging issues. |
