Installing Light Mods

[Namgun]

hi guys just need some advice on where to have my plenum spacer installed.

I live in Sydney and I want to know how much is a reasonable price to pay to have the plenum spacer installed.

do u guys have a recommended place to do this?

also I want to buy and install headers, which one is good and how much would I be looking at?

replies would be greatly appreciated.

hey mate for the spacer...DIY its very easy, i did it with a mate took two nights about 4 hours but then i was cleaning a lot of stuff and checking things here and there and mucking around and taking mad breaks from taking a break....i probably take 1 hour if you know what your doing, saying that there is some tute videos on youtube that show you how to do it. to be honest i had more trouble installing grounding kit than the spacer.

As for headers iv heard that they are most expensive to power ratio for the 350 and hell expensive to install, id go cats and exhausts tbh much easier to install and costs less to do so (took 1 hour to do exhaust and1 for the cats)

thanks for the info but since I'm such a noob I don't want to risk installing the spacer myself...

as for headers and exhaust, If I don't install the headers would my exhaust still sound good??

if your changing from stock to an aftermarket exhaust then of course the noise will change, there are many aftermarket systems that sound awesome, do a little searching on this forum in the v section here there was recently a post on people naming a few

or just go to youtube and check them out...

I thought they only sound good if you have the headers too bit I guess not... some of the exhaust systems are

very expensive. like the Nismo and HKS kits...

Did you have any fitment issues with your exhaust? do your tips sit flush on the rear? or is that a moot point because you have the kenstyle?

My tips arent sitting flushed, and apparently it was a massive pain to get it put on.

FB doesn't erally do the exhaust justice though.

Back on point for paul, from what I've been told, installing the headers will be the bit that costs you with the labour involved, but when it comes to light mods, generally most people go the spacer + exhaust + HFCs / Test pipes + Ztube & pod / panel filter.
