Bit of a long post, but I hope the second half of it helps others...
Got my Raptor headers installed with otherwise stock exhaust system, K&N filter, on ethanol with KiDo tune (for that set up). The difference in power is only slight (as was mostly expected). I really do see now why it is highly recommended to change the mid and y pipe. I’ll be bringing forward my plans for cat back exhaust and Raptor CAI to get the full glory out of those shiny SS headers.
I’m worried about reports of rasp with high flow cats – has anyone found a set of 200 cpsi’s that sound ok with these headers? or is it a must to put a hot dog behind each first stage cat?
(I will be deleting 3rd cat like most others)
Thanks PUDZ for sharing that you fried your steering rack boots. Based on your experience I got my installer to add on some simple heat shields (pictured below). I also got him to cut off a little bit of the plastic under tray on the right hand side to avoid a contact melt/burn point (this might be specific for 6MT).
For people in WA: I used Prestige Mufflers in Malaga and can highly recommend them. They charged $400 which might be a little more than I had anticipated, but it did include the heat shields and what ended up being 4 hours of labour (first time they had touched an EZ30D).
