Weapon R Header Broke - Toyota Yaris Forums

this mostly happened due to the spherical joint being removed when an aftermarket header is installed.... My exhaust guy fixed this for me by adding a new one so their will be some flex

Seems like the header's flange didn't meet the midpipe's flange well enough and was "pulled" into meeting up and screwed up. Eventually the repeated heating caused metal fatigue that sheared the header's tube at a weak point.

I thought Weapon R was a descent brand?

not sure yet where it failed kuro, haven't taken out the header yet....from what we could c u r correct, it seems like it broke from the o2 sensor but will take another pic once it's out!

hey garm, still thinking about the DC header that you got.....might just install the oem header!

that wouldnt have happened if you had the springs on those bolts.

Oh man, that doesn't look good at all!

Absolutely. That failed for two reasons, install error, and inferior fit.

Get a DC.

kou · 10-19-2008, 04:10 AM

the only problem with fit is the pipe needs to cut down where they meet if cut prior to install it is fine. that nitto pipe looks to small.

PETERPOOP · 10-19-2008, 07:07 AM

everyone knows weapon R sucks

Sabretooth · 10-19-2008, 09:25 AM

First intakes that get "8hp" gains...now cracked headers...not looking good for them.

*Astroman* · 10-19-2008, 09:30 AM

Yet another reason I'm glad I got a DC header.

Sabretooth · 10-19-2008, 09:47 AM

Hell even nobody is having issues with the Megan Headers....and everyone thought that was going to be the first to give problems.

eco · 10-19-2008, 09:48 AM

Megan header here,NP.And it was from the GB way back then.

saplaymate · 10-19-2008, 11:13 AM

That wasn't the headers failure, thats all from modifying way the pipe mounts!

yes in general weapon does suck

llimonce · 10-19-2008, 03:03 PM

you need the springs.. men .. because without the springs , the torque broke the header ..

the springs are a torque absorber .. be carefull

Malaya1221 · 10-19-2008, 05:32 PM

with this particular setup, i don't get the spring issue...maybe someone could enlighten me...
