Hi Guys,
I recently acquired a Bursch over Ebay and have an almost new Monza as well. The car is a 2.0 with OBX headers. There are three factors (that I know of) for my consideration: Looks: Monza wins Sound: Which one will sound cooler? Please post your opinions! Performance: Which will offer (slightly) better HP, if either at all? Opinions! Thanks! Mike in Munich (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

Update:
From Ed: "Apparently the manufacturer did not use a jig when they welded these things up. At a minimum, jig hold points are required on each end of the batch of tubes. So they missed it on #4 cylinder by maybe 10 degrees. I will cut the tube at the weld near the head and clock it around to line it up. Not too difficult really. Will check if the shift rod still works through it all. I have two engines, so I can fit before the final install on your engine. I would say they charged too much for this set, especially when I see the price for the subaru ej20-25 headers are as low as $120 shipped. If I do this again, I may buy the sube set and mod it to fit the 914." |
