I'm looking at getting some new headers and possibly a new exhaust for Christmas, but I'm not sure what is a good price and what's good performance. I'm not trying to spend over $500 though.

I found this one...?
Max-Redline.com - Toyota 2008 Scion XB Performance Stainless Racing Header 2.4L

Thanks for any help!

Does an aftermarket header make the engine sound much louder?

I am also curious about this. Also, is the Weapon R S-pipe needed?

If so, I guess I'll get that? ^ Then an exhaust later?

(I don't really know about engine stuff that much.)

So, the S-Pipe is what makes it loud? so, should I get the strup headers, and exhaust, for 700 off Fast Scions, or just the Weapon R and S-Pipe?

 

[Chrevis]

so, do I really need the S-pipe?
and, in Arkansas we don't have tests to pass, besides your driver's. so I'm not too worried about that.

If I get this, do I need the S-pipe? because it looks like the same pipe in the picture.

okay, so i got the Strup race headers from santa.
I've been trying to install them but i keep running into problems. i've got the 5 bolts on the top off, the 2 spring bolts off, but found the 2 14mm bracket looking ones. any advice on getting them off?

 

[Chrevis]

I got my strup headers installed, but had to unbolt my dipstick, and I've been experiencing a lag whenever I step on the gas. Has anyone else experienced these problems?

any ideas on fixing my Dipstick problem?

 

[Chrevis]

Well, I took my CEL eliminator off, and the lag went away. So, I guess that's a waste of money.

CEL eliminator is a must have you wont run well without it and the engine will go into limp mode. Make sure it is installed on the S- pipe section of the exhaust some people have made the mistake of attaching it to the a/f sensor attached on the header. The header should have come with the dip stick relocator which is basically a small aluminum piece and a nut and bolt that extends the dip stick enough as to not interfere with the header.

OHHH! thank you! I should have read the directions a little to see what that nut and bolt and aluminum piece was for. haha
