SSR Manifold

[Project]

Been in contact with Six Sigma Racing this week about their new exhaust manifold and it does look very impressive, great service i must say.
As their main competition in the US is DC sports he could only give me figures against that, but said he could personally dyno one and send a graph.
''On average, you will see a gain of 10+ hp on the top end over a DC header, however the midrange power is where the header really shines. We have seen anywhere from 10-20 HP and ft/lb of torque in the midrange over a DC header.''
Prices are £585 for stainless steel
£496 for mild steel
£43 shipping cost to the UK
(will obviously have to add customs tax when it arrives)
But all in all looks very impressive
A group discount is available so if anyone is interested or wants anymore info I can look into it for you.
I'll definately be making an order myself in the next few months

hmm sounds good value.
Any pics and whats the crack at MOT time?? cracking issues?

Its a full race exhaust so its gonna have to be changed for Mot. The RSX guys rate this as better than toda apprently so im interested in seing some graphs myself.
Highly recommended to have some sort of mount fitted, but if thats on says it will not crack.

[Project]

You will really need kpro with this as it only has 1 lambda boss.

It will (or something will) definatly break unless your engine is almost solidly mounted as a race car would be.

I have a J's racing torque damper plus have some engine mounts laying in my room, sure that would be enough :?
Also have a Mugen N1 ECU should that not work fine with it :?

 

[C&S Evo7]

you might get away with the mounts and damper but most real race cars are almost completely or mounted solid to the frame.

your N1 ecu will work with the exhaust but you need to fit uprated valvesprings as the rev limit is too high for the stock ones. Your economy will be horendous with N1 too.

At the moment I have 2 ECU's double stacked i run my OEM one for long journeys and sometimes to work as I do about 50 miles a day, but when I'm using the the Mugen i do notice a big difference in the economy but I think it is only about a days worth ie 50 miles which to me I can live with for the performance difference.
The valve springs yeah i know about so i dont take it to the cut limit as if I'm going to be getting new springs I might as well get valves which then lead to cams which then leads to being broke :lol:

 

[C&S Evo7]

you could just fit s2000 valve springs theres absolutly no reason to change the valves,

when i had the mugen ecu my economy was twice as bad as the kpro almost exactly. :shock:

This is an awesome header, but make sure you order the test pipe to make it bolt to your stock exhaust or stock replacement. And I think the test pipe has second O2 bunge.
