hows the ss header that sone of u guys order? review?

 

  1. its still shiny & rust free. The built quality is really superb.
  2. So far I hv no problems hitting humps due to the thicker 4-1 configuration. Basically i tightened the 2 blue knobs on top of my front suspension, to stiffen the suspension, so that it dive down less after crossing a hump.
  3. The sound is louder especially when Vtec cuts in. I really love the louder sound, not too loud to annoy people, but enough to turn heads.
  4. Before installing , people say will lose power at low rpm , gain power at high rpm. Must install dynojet to regain the power "loss". But so far I hv no dynojet & i cannot feel the "loss" of power at low rpm. Maybe the losses is too insignificant to be felt. Overtaking cars & smaller bikes is still good even at low rpm.
  5. Fuel consumption has improved slightly; maybe because i hv no dynojet.

Disclaimer: My perception may be different from the rest of the ss header users. Use of this information for purpose of buying the ss headser is at your own risk.

wana maintain ur stock or aftermarket stainless steel exhaust like brand new???

( paiseh, left with 2 headers haven polish la :lol: )

 

Maguiar's All Metal Polysh does the magic which u can get from NTUC priced at $16.90 if i didnt get it wrong... :dot:

 

as stated on the can...

- highest shine possible

- anti-corrosive protection agents fight against enviromental attack and degradation

 

http://photos-765.friendster.com/e1/photos/56/70/15050765/1_948057109l.jpg

 

http://photos-765.friendster.com/e1/photos/56/70/15050765/1_738552032l.jpg

 

for initial polish, i spent 4 - 5 hours working on per header (yes, its 4 - 5 hrs per header) to get the "mirror" effect. best time is to polish in the morning like 8 - 9 am where sunlight can show u where are the black spots so u can remove them with polishing.

 

for those who like to try the polish, i've got something to share... when u start to polish the headers, normally its easy at the headers body, the center part. if u look higher at the bent connecting to the exhaust outlets, the bents have dark spots around the bent area which are caused by the heat. initial polishing seems tat it will not go off, but be patience and u'll see the black spots going off as u continue to polish and polish and polish...

 

apply an amount on a cloth and rub in a circular motion till u see the black black stuff on the cloth, real black, then use a bit more of the polish and continue to polish with the black black stuff... tats when the magic comes in, to remove the black spots...

 

Maguiar works best on all stainless steel and aluminium. if u guys notice, (see the above pic) my rims are already shining, polished with Maguiar.

 

after polishing, try using a bottle to pour water over the header, the water will jus flow away...

 

i agree this tin is small and ex... but the after-effect is worth it. maybe the pics cant tell much, when u see the after-effect with ur own eyes, u'll be happy that the 16++ dollars is worth spending... :thumb:

 

for maintaining the shine, once every fortnight (2weeks) polishing should do the magic. i'm still doing a case study for maintaining the shine... :dot:

 

Why not Autosol??? :nono:

Autosol is a compound with more rough substance giving u instant shine at the same time removing the protective layer without protecting, whereras Meguiars has got Anti Corrosive Protection and also fine substance in the compound giving u a longer lasting shine... :)

 

anyone with any things to ask and share, feel free to post in here! pics are best! :cheers:

 

upzzz!!! :cheeky:
