Eoi Headers/extractors Group Buy.

[Greg]

I highly recommend these extractors.

To save hassles later, strip the prange paint back when you get them as it just melts anyway and heat wrap them.

Hey Greg,

Well that’s pretty silly paint lol, I wonder why they would bother putting it on then? anyway, I’ll be getting a set of these, how would i go about getting the paint off?

What are the downsides to not heat wrapping them? just a hotter engine bay or will other things go wrong?

I am still a bit hesitant about heat wrapping mine because I heard that you can do damage too them when they don't cool down quick enough. Have you come across any of these problems?

ohh and what heat wrap did you use?

Thanks mate,

Regards,

Sean'O

i didnt really think heat was such a big issue with headers, obviously the engine bay is a little warmer, and you might get a cool orange glow if you give it enough stick - but since headers deal with exhaust gases and the gases are constantly being expelled i cant see any sort of large significant gain.

although someone can come tell me otherwise, i'd like to know as well.

here is some sites for ceramic coating, with a bit of info

don't know about heat wrap

[Sean'O]

Hmm, well that all looks very pretty but, it sounds very expensive and in my case a bit unnecessary,

I only have a RB20DE, and its not a dragster lol, so I don't think I will need the heat protection presuming that the extra heat by just having them in there won't damage anything during everyday driving.

However I would like the corrosion protection to make them last a bit longer, wouldn't the caliper paint (as suggested above) be sufficient here?

What we need here is an opinion by somebody who installs exhausts, or someone who has had this particular unit for a while.

I'm still assuming that the level of heat protection etc is dependant upon the style of driving your car goes through, if you just drive to work and back I would guess that ceramic coating is a bit extreme, but if you do track work or something, maybe its worth it.

Again I’m just prating on, we really need some guidance here,

Regards,

The bottom of my intake pipe started to melt from the high temperatures. This could have caused a fire and ultimate destruction of engine. This, and the power gains, is why I recommend to heat wrap them. Having said this there are plenty of people using them un heat wrapped without dramas

The orange paint is just to stop them rusting while they're in the shop etc. so they look good.

You could use a blowtorch to get the paint off, or paint stripper, or just heat wrap over it, won't be the end of the world.

Cheers

i'm getting a 2.5" outlet, gasket, hpc coated with economy delivery and it's totaled to AUD$425 which is an absolute steal!!!

guys, some good news... i've called up and we are pretty much good to go.

- they are able to cut the outlet back to 2.25 to 2.50", since i know most of you would have/looking into a catback system in future.

- hpc coating is AUD$170 per header.

- i've also made mention about the orange paint and they are looking into that, obviously not a worry with HPC coating.

- i've also made arrangements for a variety of shipment, these will go from them straight to your door.

- rb30e extractor is also available (the code is D5) and i have sweet talked them into including that into the arranged price with rb20/25.

shipment options

International Express (1-3 days) AUD$100.00

International Air (3-6 days) AUD$70.00

International Economy ( 10-15 days) AUD$60.00

no worries specrx, glad i was able to fit you in.

best to do these international things once and do them right - saves lots of hassles.

[Specrzx]

Yo, just wondering anyone receive theres yet? hell waiting for this stuff to come

[Eug]

you should receive yours well before anybody else buddy, since you have air freight and are not waiting on hpc coating.
