Hey braker, do you have a 2 or 3 bolt flange going from the flexpipe to the cat flange? It looked like it was a 2 bolt flange in your pic but I am not sure. I have a 2 bolt and the GT in the pic on kspec has a 3 bolt flange. Sounds great mang, can't wait to get some. What were the gains like mang?

***Anyone interested in getting a GB going on these GT headers, be sure to post in the thread located under the Kspec section!***

Thanks. cool.gif

its a 3 bolt. the gains are 8 whp and 1.3 kg torque. but my engine is an 1.6L Beta. When I install the 2.0L engine I expect the gains to be higher.

Here is a photo of my engine bay 97% completed:

Dang! Guess it looks like if I get these I will have to cut off the 3 bolt flange and weld on a 2 bolt in it's place. I suppose it is not that big of a deal.

DAMN! 8 whp from a header on a 1.6! That is crazy! I would expect the gain to be about 9 on a 1.8 and 10 on a 2.0 (Just rough estimates). I really do want this header now! fing02.gif

It's no big deal. Get the flange changed out or get one of each flange put on a high flow cat when you install your exhaust.

I already have a high flow cat and cat back. So I will just change the flange on the header. I guess that means you can't get a GT with a 2 bolt flange right?

Thanks. cool.gif

Got a reply from joonie at Kspec and he said that I will recieve the 2 bolt flange. The 3 bolt flange is for the tuscani's and the 2 bolt is for the tiburons. I was sooo happy to hear that, makes it a little easier to get them installed. wink1.gif
