I got tired waiting for my fabricator to get started on building my pipes for my turbo system, so i spent some pocket change and got the Ebay header. Install was very simple. i did have to loosen the alternator to get the header around that stud, but that was it. took me abot 30 minutes to install.

Before.


During


After






after a quick trip around the block


Now for review....This header was an excellent bang for the buck. Cost was about 110 after shipping. i can feel a huge difference in acceleration. Im on stock exhaust from the header back so the car is still very quiet. In fact, i dont hear much of a change in engine noise. But the Butt dyno says more power is there.

Can you post a link to the same one please, and did the sensor on top just pop in or bolt on perfectly? I think it is surewinproducts.
I am editing I assume the bottom one is already in the exhaust.
Thanks

nice looking header. as you can see, the header are starting to fad to that blueish gold color. header wrap them later on if you want. Im sure the enging bay heat gets pretty hot in there when the radiator fans turn on. I had them without header wrap for a while, but then wrapped mine.

i would suggest posting them on the ebay header thread for the next time

Surewinproducts is in La Puente CA I could drive there to pick up but they won't let me. They must overcharge to make money on shipping.
Why give Fedex 40 bucks for nothing if you can pick up.

I would just repaint the header with high temp paint before installing it or get it ceramic coated.

On my header (same one), there's two bungs in it for both o2 sensors. Doesn't make any sense to me because both are sensing o2 where only one is needed in the header. I can simply re-route the bottom 02 sensor to the cat and put a bung in it right? My cat is a hi flow aftermarket and currently has no bung in it for a sensor.

Smaay

#13

the cat is on the factory header. one sensor before and one after. you are talking about the CAT in the downpipe. there are no sensors back there

any update on that pic?

Both upper and lower 02 sensors are in the bottom of the header. I need to relocate the bottom 02 back to my cat (new bung) and cap off where I took it out of the header...right?

IF YOU GET THIS Header, you need to port match the flange to the tubes. You will get way better flow with about 15 minutes of grinder action. I got mine for $75 shipped, rock on.

Which one is the better header, the one by racedesign is selling or surewin products? They look exactly the same could be the same but which one is the bolt-on one with no mods?

anyone used the speed daddy header? the surewin only have 2 o2 sensor, this one had 2. im in cali and gotta pass smog and what not... i know i should post in the other thread, but this one is active

Promasta

#23

the surewinproducts previously only had 1 hole, the newer version which has been out for a while now has 2 holes for the 2 sensors.
all st204s have these 2 sensors, it doesn't matter if it is from california or not.
the racedesignimport only has 1 hole, so it will need to be modified.

Well that just sucks. I never saw one that said 2. guess i shoulda asked her before i bought the Speed Daddy Ones.


you said racedesignimport only has one, but mine are speed daddys.. i asked the guy directly if there are 2 holes, and he said yes. are we talking bout the same one?

SwissFerdi

#25

^ I just checked ebay, Speed Daddy had a '97-'99 'racing' 4-2-1 header for $85 and a regular 94-99 header for $55. Racedesign also had one, but I saw no Surewin product.

i got my 95 header for my st delivered to my door for 93 dollars
and he said it has 2 o2 sensors.


my question is, has anyone used them on here? i did a search but found nothing.

i was talking about for the 5sfe, not the 7afe.
surewinproducts only makes a header for the 5sfe.

trdproven

#28

ebay products look exactly the same as surewin products based on the pics.

is there no other brands for the 5sfe?

yes trdproven there is the obx header for the 5sfe, see here:

I do not have it so I cannot give feedback.

trdproven

#30

yea i knew OBX had one but no one ever commented on them whether they fit. Looks like a real complete header. I wonder why the GT one only starts at 95-98
