Default EK Tuning SC400 Headers.

It has been posted once or twice about theses new EK Tuning SC400 headers. I tried to call them a few times over the last few weeks and their tel # is disconeccted. Anyone know anything about this Company or if they are out of business ? They are out of CA.

They are not a vendor here so don't get your hopes up.

The price is not too high when compared to fitting the S&S Headers...You would actually save money... S&S headers you need to fab new down pipes, and deal with a few fittment issues that run up the bill considerable...

The Ektunning headers are direct bolt on headers and are probably your cheapest option in the end....Check out the website at EKtuning.com...

Not be be negitive but........ Here is a good example of something I don't
understand. I love the CL SC3/4 forum, but my question was this
( see top post )

"Anyone know anything about this Company or if they are out of business ? They are out of CA."

Then later when someone post a question, you will have your regular average daily post counters say " use the search button " . You do and never come up with the answer. They will then paste search links with the same topic and question that have off topic info, but never an answer to the question. Thanks for your responses guys but..................... Again "Anyone know anything about this Company or if they are out of business ? They are out of CA."

FYI Jibby I think you are right. I had the SS headers before. Notice the EK headers they are inbetween the lenght of the SS and Aussie Headers. Just the right lenght for me. Good mid and low with great top end. And the least amount of fitting issues $$$$. Thus most likely most HP.

In drag cars, you ALWAYS see nothing but long tube headers-- it's the best flowing design--

2.25" fabbed tubing and an x-pipe run through a pair of magnaflows would cost about $500-- where I'm from --

So the headers and exhaust together at about $1000, the price of the EK's alone--

Deleting cats, resonator, and factory exhaust alltogether with a true x-pipe--

That system will flow the best out of all of them for an N/A motor.

The aussie's build those headers based on race experience, they're soarer fanatics-- the EK site has like 1 product, and you can't even get in touch with them to buy their $1000 set of headers--

They are pretty though

Even better, they're stainless and prettier than a perky set of DD's....... With pink nips...

They look like Bassani, and cost about the same, which makes me wonder who really makes them.....

Check the EKtuning.com website...Use google search.. Jgscott they should be available for purchase...The Ektuning headers are direct bolt on's that bolt on to the lower exhaust with no required alterations..The headers replace the stock down pipe cats which is nice....I think they are the best bang for the buck...

The only choices you have are -

S&S Headers - Shorties, not exact fit...Not even close...

Ektuning - Mid size direct bolt ons..Direct fit....

Tex Headers - Long tubed headers, made and sold in Australia...Fitment not sure what's involved..I know they are long as hell...

Hope that covers all options...

Jet-hot coating has a real purpose in life, I was wondering if the E.K.s had it.
