new header

[briceturbosports]

i saw tu new header at carlisle looks nice flows # are great and price is nice

[BadAssPerformance]

The prototype looked nice for sure... where did you see flow numbers?

[turbovanman²]

Any pics?

[8valves]

I think someone had them on BoostedMopar.

Chris told me what it flowed in person, so I'll let him post up about it if he chooses to do so.

[Skibbe]

DodgeZ posted this at boostedmopar.com.

Though this one doesn't look like it will flow too well...

[ShadowFromHell]

what kinda price?

[MiniMopar]

Is that a cast piece?

[Mike_Shepard]

Yea I EYEballed that for a few minutes. It's awfully pretty

[mcsvt]

Yeah it's going to be cast and Chris said it should be available in September, I'm sure he will correct me if I am wrong. Also should be in the mid $300 range I believe.

It's pretty much what I am looking for since nobody wants to build me an equal length...

[jay]

looks pretty neat with the raised logo in it

[moparfwdsleeper]

hmm may not need my ported exhaust manifold come september give or take:P

Nice looking thats for sure,

Theres a few guys that are building equal length but there not cheap,

[MiniMopar]

It almost looks like the log gets larger as the ports join-in. For $300, that would be a nice upgrade and probably more durable than a welded unit. Plus, the ports are angled towards the turbo, instead of in both directions like the Schedule 40 type. The logo would match my SV, LOL.

Any idea if this will work with the L-body rod shifter?

No reason why it wouldn't.

[87glhs232]

No reason why it wouldn't.

Actually there is a reason why it wouldn't. It moves the SV over several inches from the stock location just as the TU header does. When that is moved over the down pipe goes with it and interferes with the rod transfer pivot. I can not say for sure, only Chris can at this point, but I would bet it cannot be used in rod shifted L-bodies. I base this purely on comparison of available pics of the mani and header, and my knowledge that the header interferes.

It also makes it hard to get an intake pipe on the turbo because of the brake booster if you have power brakes in an L body.

Anyway, it's not going to be $300. Chris told me in the range of $350-400. It is cast iron, and a step-tube design. The main body gets larger as each port enters the log, this keeps velocity at a maximum and helps flow as well. As yes he did tell me it flows better than the original TU header, so it's better is all aspects you can think of pretty much. It's 1 piece cast iron, it's cheaper, and it flows better.

Just for everyone else's notes, I've had two different TU headers on my car (power brakes in an L body, with cable linkage and the large PB rear motor mount), and with both a simple 90* bend off of the compressor inlet cleared everything with no problems. This is with a 4" diameter tube and compressor inlet, so a 3" should be a breeze.

[moparzrule]

Yeah I should have said Omni not just L-body. SC's have a larger engine bay.

[GLHS592]

SC's have a larger engine bay.

Are you sure about that? I thought they were exactly the same.
