Weapon R header... - Page 5 - Toyota Yaris Forums

the collector side end piece of pipe is almost flush with the flange gasket when i lubed the hanger post it went away for a little bit so i am pretty sure that's ware the squeaking is coming from and i don't think the header totally bottoms out in the exhaust flange when tightened up but that noise would be a good match metal on metal

as much as i dont care for megan it does have the support bracket built onto flange. but im not sure the header deal is all that for me .

Also try listing it in the for sale by owner section. If I recall, someone here was looking for one just a little while ago.

I was thinking of selling my W*R, but this review is making me think twice.

I'm still wondering if I should wait for an exhaust swap before putting it on the car, though...

I'll be running a dyno test with the Weapon R header, an axle back exhaust, and a Weapon R intake soon, and will post the results. Maybe that will help you to decide.

I'm more of a hypermiler style driver as opposed to an agressive top end power driver, so the header fits my low end needs. In 900 miles the accelerator has been to the floor 3 times just to see what it's like.

Looking forward to the results!

I'm not opposed to saving gas for most of my driving, but I do like to have the option to step on it if I ever need to.

(Or at least that's what I tell myself...)

When I drive it's backwards of that.

If you read post #7, the OP said it's 3/8" too long, so he had to trim it down.
