Gruppe-S Headers

hey guys, I was wondering if the gruppe-s headers were worth it. so far i have a helix up/downpipe, an hks hiper catback, an hks bov, and a cobb stg 2 reflash. I was wondering what my next mod should be and came up with maybe the gruppe-s headers. If the headers are not a way to go, what should be my next mod? I'm planning on getting a VF34, warlboro fuel pump, injector package in the summer. Any advice you guys can give me will help me.

Thanks peeps.

Wheels and tires! Everyone says wheels and tires are a good upgrade that you will feel. I am running almost the same setup as you injector,pump,utec,carbon-ti,intake,helix up and downpipe,bov. Also, when you get you turbo done, you are going to lose a fair amount of anti-freeze at that time it would be great to put in a colder thermostat and add waterwetter to the new stuff that you replace it with. Also, I have heard people running a different mix in the summer.(more water) I don't do that yet not have any issues with what I have.



Sorry If I mispell i am at work typing and clicking off is hard when you don't wana get cought.

i think headers are good choice bud, but i think you should start upgrading your brakes a bit soon. especially with all that power youll be pushing.

i have the same mods (uppipe, turboback, bov, cobb stg 2) and was also looking at the gruppe-s header as my next mod. i have heard that u may lose some low-end power but gain more mid-high end power. is the loss of low-end lower significant where i will notice??

the best part about the gruppe-s headers is that they are much easier too put on than the stockers. i was gonna say check out the reviews but i did the only review https://www.i-club.com/reviews/showp...1&cat=8&page=1
