Worst game out, not sure about that one. You should try it, if you like the older R6. I hated it on playstation 2!

Not quite. $447.92 shipped on the AGXs, $198.05 shipped on the GF210s.

I'm still on the lookout for some cheap stock sway bars from a turbo model FC.

This is my friend Brittany's rotary burns. (It was from some sort of iron. Hair iron? Clothes iron?) Check it out, it even has the circle for the eccentric shaft and gears in the exact middle of the rotor. Well done Brittany.








Also, I want to get some Racing Beat headers for my car, but they're not CARB legal. How do you guys get around that? Do you all just pay the technician off?

To tell you the truth , the header flow just as much as the stock manifold. That why Racingbeat sells a dp for the na. Ask Jim tanner at Racingbeat.
Thanks Robert

yup^ but if you did decide to buy a header, they are a sinch to swap... so when you go to smog it, just put the stock manifold back on, smog it, go home and swap back... it truly is really easy..... i think 6 bolts

I was gonna say the same thing.

That Downpipe RB sells replaces the first cat right? My cats are all one piece, so I'd have to get headers I guess.

And I'm back to square one. Alright guys, time for a newbie question... the difference between a downpipe and headers on an N/A is what? I thought the downpipe was for turbo cars coming from the exhaust manifold to the cats, and headers were for N/As coming from the engine block to the cats.

And thanks for the help guys. If it really is that easy to swap (which I kind of thought it was ), I'll look into it.

yeah kinda

the NA downpipe replaces the first little cat that comes off the header. The presilencer replaces the other 2 main cats.

terminollogy is mixed dependant on the person.

as a whole, you are right.




the header is with out a doubt a tubular manifod that comes fromt he block to what ever it may be. there are tubulat headers to a cat such as on an N/A. and there are tubular headers found on turbo cars that go from the block to the turbo. either way this is called a header. if its not tubular, meaning its cast, then it is called a manifold.



a downpipe is what comes off a turbo and goes to the next component. weather a cat or exhaust pipe.

a test pipe is a pipe that replaces a cat. also known as a cat delete. in this case it would be just a long as the cat, you can usually simply unbolt them and put the cat back in. (unless it was welded in.)



that is at least how MOST people refer to them.

^^^ yup...and a downpipe on an NA is essentially another cat delete... it comes off the stock manifold and replaces the precat and cat #1... then you have to buy another pipe that replaces the other cat... either a test pipe or presilencer...sounds expensive and a pain.. but RB sells them fairly cheap

But if I want to keep my cats, to keep it legal (not necessarily CARB legal), a downpipe would eliminate the cats, or at least one of them. So what you guys are saying is that headers for my car would be pointless because the stock exhaust manifold is adequate? I'd see no horsepower gain? The only way to increase power would be a downpipe and or midpipe to eliminate a cat?

Ah thats a bummer, I had heard that headers are significant on an N/A. But I will take your guys' advice over anyone else's! Thanks.
