Hello. I am goona buy a new header for my MCS. I have one ball exhaust now on the car.

I am lookin forward for supersprint, because here in my region it isn't big choice for those parts.

I am looking that image.

Probably i need these to?

Does anybody get this header? What about EML light becouse there is no cat ? It light on or no?

WHat about motor electronic?

Does this header with that pic two go togeter with original exshaust or no?

What about power?

I think that's all

Thanks, bye

hey try OBX on ebay or internet, they are just exact copy of supersprint but they are like 1/5 of the price.

it doesn't come with a cat..... i am happy with the obx header, since its cheap and good quality

oes this part fit the obx header too ?

Yes it will, its just a cat bypass pipe which may be illegal in your country. You will need an O2 bypasser to prevent the EML light coming on - or, you could just put a cat in there.

u have got mail...

and another thing, if the light goes on, will i be able to drive normally around, i hope nothing will happen in ECU, because i heard someone say the car will go into limp mode ???

and which cat do u think is best ? i prefer a bolt on setup because i am not very good in welding and such.

I've replied to your email. If the light comes on, from memory it will not go into limp mode, but you'll have a light lit on your dash, which would then hide if you had any other reason for the light to go on.

With the OBX/Supersprint cat setup, its going to be a bolt on job - you may need to get an exhaust shop to weld the flange on though.

thx dude,

and i emailed Magnaflow, for the best cat to fit my setup ? hope to hear them soon... It should have a O2 hole then i should figure out how to connect the cat with the header and the cat with the catback system ?

My car is running a de-cat pipe and I have the Emissions Light on.

- What is an o2 bypasser?
- Is it cheap and easy to fit?

Cheers,

take a look at this site http://www.o2sim.com/4436.html

and what about your noise levels.... is there any drone in the cabine.... do u still have a resonator fitted to your car ?

i took out my resonator and replaced it with the connecting straight pipe of SSsprint. I am afraid of the noise..... but not afraid of the performance

p.s how much did u pay for your GTT , and how much for the DE-cat and what brand is the De-cat and where did u get it

cheers

An O2 bypasser basically tells the post CAT O2 sensor that everything is fine, and that it is seeing what the car "wants" it to see. This fools the EML light not to come on for emmissions. They're not too expensive, easy to fit - but you will have to then get the emissions light reset by a tool / dealer once its on.

I've heard that the OBX is a copy of the SS, but apparently they're not exactly the same, (which would make sense, cos that'd be illegal to copy someone else's design). I wonder in what ways they're different?

Magnaflow 59956 should do the trick...........
