Default Header options for SC400

Like it says, whats out there? A lot of searching brings up companies that don't seem to be around anymore. PPE Engineering seems to be the only place that still has some, but they are short. I would prefer long tube if I can find some. Lets hear whats out there!

For long tube headers you would have to go custom. I have a GS400 and I would love some long tube headers but it would simply be more about sound than power gains for the cost like Kitabel noted above. PPE/OBX seems to be the only option for any headers at this point that can be purchased.

Well if I am building my own, they are gonna go to a turbo I am kicking around the idea of supercharging the 1UZ, but I generally keep coming back to turbo. Its hard to spend 1k on headers, let alone shorties when that pretty much makes up the difference to turbo it.

Boost will definitely be better bang for the buck. If I knew how to weld I would make my own long tube headers for my GS just because lol.

Did you try this place?

http://www.performanceexhaust.com.au...EADER/HU393STM

HURRICANE EXTRACTORS
TRI-Y DESIGN
PRIMARIES - 1.5/8" (41MM)
SECONDARIES - 1.3/4" (44MM)
OUTLET - 2.1/2" (63MM)

They look to be long tube to me. I can't comment on them as I never used them.

Glad you found those Hurricanes. I've heard they are much easier to install then the other choices too. Once again the problem of cost versus performance gains. If anyone has these on their car please chime in with comments.
