Weapon R SS Street Headers, Any real World Info?

[The Architect]

Saw this on ebay and it looks really nice and especially for the price.

Since my "ebay header" cracked at the o2 sensor like someone elses did im in the market for a new header and this one looks really nice if it fits and work as it should.

Couldnt find any worthwhile info on this header anywhere.

[Mister Z]

The megan racing header is cheaper. Just an FYI

[The Architect]

cheaper sure but far less...awesome.

Its either this or the DC but for 50-60 bucks less and a 4-2-1 header id like to know that this one is what it says.

[AlexNet0]

holy crap that looks amazing.

[TOUGEghost]

You can't base your opinion of the header off that picture. I followed the link and have been trying in vain to find the correct picture. Who knows what you would actually get. :iono:

[AlexNet0]

looks like this is the actual yaris header, from their website:

looks real good a lot better than those short one around if it fits

[The Architect]

well thanks for the research and from the looks of that Ill just fork out the extra cash for the DC and call it a day, I will email the ebay seller and ask for a real photo to try and call BS on him.

[AlexNet0]

the part number they have in that ebay listing is correct, though. I would ask about the picture before you buy.

I would buy this over the DC

[TOUGEghost]

The real picture does look better. Hopefully this one doesn't crack like the last one. Buying the DC in the first place instead of buying two different headers would have been cheaper.

[The Architect]

ehh the first header was like 60 bucks and it was the megan knock off which was confirmed to be basically the exact same thing by another member in a side by side comparison.

Once that broke I figured I needed to try a different style.

[H3LlIoN]

I found it cheaper....

I have the weapon r header and love it, it's been on since 2007 with no problems.

[The Architect]

thats good to hear, i had my ebay header on since feb '07 and it just now broke just over 3 years later.

not bad all in all for 60 bucks i suppose, crappy none the less.

[Yoda]

get the dc and call it a day

[AlexNet0]

^this thread is not about the DC. the OP is asking about the Weapon-R Yaris Header. we are providing information about the Weapon-R Yaris header

[cali yaris]

I went to that Whip site, they add ripoff shipping.

So, we have:

1. Megan $179.95 shipped.

2. Weapon R $201.25 + $34.43 = $235.68 shipped.

3. DC Sports $259 shipped.


Here is the Weapon R:

[The Architect]

that makes for a clear choice, what sort of gains differences are there between the dc and weapon r, both looks pretty nice but are a good bit different in design it seems.

[H3LlIoN]

Hmmmm I went to the whip site and, with shipping, it was still cheaper than the original ebay link. I also emailed the dude that has the auction and he said that AFAHK, the pic is the actual item. Said that the pic was provided to him direct from Weapon-R. (I think he just drop ships them or something)

Garm...which would you be running, if you didn't have all that fandagled turbo exhaust nonsense? :p

[cali yaris]

I ran the Megan for a year with no problems at all.

[H3LlIoN]

And while we're keeping track, this is the DC

[yarstar]

I've had the Weapons R on now for 2 years and 40k. Love it. No problems at all.

[Bluevitz-rs]

The eBay link also says it's NOT road legal because it eliminates the cat.

which causes a entire new set of problems in our cars, you shouldn't de-cat

[Chicho]

which causes a entire new set of problems in our cars, you shouldn't de-cat

From what i hear, our cat is very restrictive, How does eliminating cause problems? Mind i am not an environmentalist...

[Chicho]

Has anyone tried this? If so Hp gains? De-cat issues(Performance wise ONLY!!!!)?

[H3LlIoN]

LOL

[H3LlIoN]

Hearsay. De-catting is a non-issue.

[H3LlIoN]

I'm laughing because this is the exact same product as the other thread you posted in. It's even the same ebay seller. The pic is incorrect. The actual pic is in that thread. One guy in there is running them. Read the thread, then PM him and ask if he's dyno'd. He did say that he loves it, an hadn't had any issues in two years.

The pic is what got me confused i wasnt able to view his link for some reason. Read the thread but the pics differ from whats on ebay. Thanks man im just making sure before theres any issues! Ive also read that de-cating actually makes you losse low end torque, but they advertise Higher Low-Mid- range power.. ???

[H3LlIoN]

Yarstar has this...PM him and ask for a dyno graph to show you curves. While you may indeed lose bottom end torque ( I can't directly comment, haven't dyno'd the weapon-r all by itself yet) there are other tunes and tweaks you can do to pick up the loss. BTW, you should take performance related stuff around here with a grain of salt, as few people actually research stuff before they comment.

Putting a header on your car does NOT delete a cat. What's up with that information? :iono:

[cali yaris]

Garm...which would you be running, if you didn't have all that fandagled turbo exhaust nonsense? :p

I misread this question. While I ran the Megan for a year, it doesn't have a bracket for the heat shield. I think only the DC does (see pics above). The DC is simply the best one out there.

If you guys think you'll get a lot more hp out of a 4-2-1 design on a 100 hp car, let's see the proof first.

[H3LlIoN]

Red and my adventures are separate from this thread, just to clear out that confusion. These guys are all looking at the misrepresented picture thinking they are buying a long tube 4-2-1, and not realizing that it's just a shorty 4-2-1.

Its advertised as "NOT 50 state legal" because it deletes the cat, 2 pc not a shorty.

[cali yaris]

I just called Weapon R.

1. They don't make a long tube header.
2. The part number on the eBay ad matches the SHORT header that Weapon R makes. That's what you'll get if you order it.
3. They confirmed that the picture shown is not for the Yaris.

It's advertised as "not 50 state legal" because it's "not 50 state legal", regardless of the design, and regardless of whether a cat is deleted.

Check under your car. There is no flange between the two cats, nor is there an easy place to cut and weld because the O2 sensor is located there.
A long tube header will require a matching midpipe to fit and to bolt on.

Are we clear now?

[Chicho]

Guess ill just go with the dc then.

[H3LlIoN]

LOL.
