Group Buy - 100 Series Headers

[boze_man]

the dude always wants to abide and help the team but what would he be getting himself into?

i know what headers are basically but would this require a new exhaust or just bolt right up?

A few questions to be sorted out but I think you will have close to 10 if you address those uzj100.
Hey Loud, any response from the Lexus forums?

 

[1loudLX]

nope.

 

[uzj100]

$642 for 20 orders.

I emailed the guy with all of our questions and will post up the answers.

If it helps, you can also provide him with a list of members that plan to buy the headers after the first wave. I don't mind early adopting, but I just bought my LC and am still getting the baseline PM done... bajo de dinero. I will definitely get the headers at some point though, count me in on the future-purchase list...

 

[2000UZJ]

Let's make a list in the first post including all members interested. After thinking for a day I think I will get the headers.


So count me in for a set!

 

[2000UZJ]

Comin guys. I know there are more members with or without cracked manifolds that would like a set. If your in the area and can drop your 100 off for a week create a paypal or some sort and we can start a rental car collection. I'd like to see this happen and not turn into another one of those " great ideas, but only got 6 guys interested" deals.

I looked at the list for the JBA headers Loud tried and the list is huge. We can do it.

Uzj100- can ya make a list in the first post with all members that are confirmed, and interested so we can keep track a little better. As I said in the last post....

 

[staggrlee]

I'd be in at the price. Problem is these things never seem to happen...

Not meaning to dig at anyone organizing this attempt or any of the previous...

Given the price I have to assume these are mild steel and not equal length tubes. Are they at least mandrel bent?

What about a price for 5 or 10?

May be keeping the list on the last post is easier...
Every interested member just have to post, paste the list and add his name.
Everybody take care of his name without someone needed to watch

If only that would work!

You are already in the list, 41 posts and 22 days ago you said you were in!

Nice work! If they can get a 100 over there to fit them and make some I'm in! My manifolds have had it, and i'd love to pick up a bit of power!

Just waiting on the responses to come back from the manufacturer about the questions.

mandrel bent or not, it would be better then the log tube type exhaust manifold we have.

C'mon LOUD,
Get over to the Lexus forums and rattle some cages!

 

[1loudLX]

if it doesnt have chrome or stupid shiny blue lights it doesnt interest the club lexus crowd. I made a thread, I just bumped it...its all I can do at this point.

 

[uzj100]

A couple of questions keep popping up.


1. Will they be legal in California? - ANSWER - #1 will not know until we see a vehicle
2. Will they work with factory exhaust? - ANSWER - yes it will work with stock exhaust
3. Will they work with factory 02 sensors and not throw any CEL’s? - ANSWER - will work with factory o2’s. New Answer - No CELs based on the bolt on factor and not cut and weld.
4. I'd like to know if their headers would be fine with the current borla cat back that I have. I wouldn't want to change the borla cat back. Also would it use the exact same tight space as the stock pipes? Because many of us have some modifications to their engin bay etc. that might interfere with the headers. - ANSWER - will follow factory configuration but as compact as possible

5. Ok. Playing devils advocate here. Assuming you are not replacing a set of cracked manifolds to begin with (in this scenario I'd much rather pay for headers than OEM manifolds) you'd really need a set of high flow cats with dual exhaust to take advantage of a properly tuned set of headers anyway right? And then with a less restrictive exhaust system what is the chance you'd lose low end torque in exchange for more power at the top of the RPM range?And it would be, of course, good to know if DT integrate the O2 sensors ports so that they are in the proper position to reduce or eliminates the potential code issue. -ANSWER - no high flow cats are not needed but will create a restriction of factories are plugged or damaged.

any idea what the normal "one-off" price might be AFTER the group buy at $642?

 

[100 TD]

So with the questions answered I get 10 definite, plus Hoser (on the fence but he really needs them) and siglo to work out fitment of modifications in his exhaust area. Only 8 more required, come on guys, uzj100 is doing you all a favor getting this happening, and it's not far off now. SIGN UP!

You wanted them on the 10-10-08, just sign up now to get this on the road.

I'd offer up my '03 for a late model fit, up in Bellevue - where are these guys?? Let me know.

 

[hoser]

Somehow my post was misconstrued. LOL.

As much as I need them, I'm out of this group buy for now

I would be in for a set but my 1998 manifolds are still good! Plus, I think I already blew the 100 series budget for this fiscal year
