Default Hwarang 4-1 headers

About to by new header for the tib. Anyone know anything about the Hwarang headers in shop.hp? Did a search but found no info on this brand. Thinking of going with the OBX(cost less), but I'd like to support the shop.I need more info before I buy.

The Hwarang headers we sell are made by a top company in Korea for us. They are MUCH higher quality than the OBX headers and are tuned to give your car more power.

If you just care about cost, go with the OBX headers, but if you want a product that will last (and not make your car raspy sounding), go with the Hwarang headers.

These are bolt-on, no modification beside relocating the second o2 sensor?

any header will make your car buzz and sound raspy if you don't have a cat or glasspack in the exhaust. if you just have a striaght through, you'll get the buzz. besides, without something in the exhaust, you'll lose a lot of back pressure, and your low end torque will be sh it.

One, not all headers will cause that buzz, second for the eighth BILLIONTH time back pressure does not give you torque. In fact if you have backpressure you will LOSE torque and hp for that matter. Lastly, with a glasspack it will probably buzz more.

Those headers look awesome... They have nice long primaries like the HVE ones and if the collector size is 2.5" would be ideal for your 2L beta motor.

Order placed today. They had some in the warehouse so there's no wait. I'll let you all know how the install goes when I get them.
