sup guys, just had a question about the big differences between performance headers and racing headers, whats a better best buy is my main question....any outputs would be helpful...thanks

It all depends on what you're looking for... Most people use their Scion as a daily driver... so sticking to a header like DC Sports, Megan Racing, Alpha Werks, you're going to get a nice power gain and a good setup.

Most race headers are geared for high end power and made of different materials..

If you're looking for some headers, I would recommend the following:

race header usually does'nt have a cat, so it's illegal on the streets, I think.


it's header, by the way. We drive inline four bangers

No one makes a street legal header for the tC. Megan tried, but had serious issues with the cat.

Putting a racing header on is street legal in Alabama

Removing a working catalytic converter is a Federal offense. The OEM header contains a catalytic converter. It's illegal in all 50 states.

Now this... I did not know.

Take a peek at this. It will not make you feel good at all.

 

[Obike]

Doesn't make me feel good at all.... so is replacing the catalyitic converter w/ a aftermarket catalyitic converter illegal? And if so, that means that anyone with a turbo kit is violating EPA regulations. Bah. That bites. Oh well

 

[lo bux racer]

Aftermarket cats have an exception, but legally you have to get permission from the EPA to do it, and you have to prove the original unit failed.

I don't see much of a problem

Actually I do and like my cars to run clean so looking at alot of alternatives and have always ran a cat with my moded cars. Even if not entirely legal I knew it was running very clean, most of the time at least.
