BHR new header and midpipe
#28
I hope you guys will have the headers done by next February 2013, I plan on ordering your ignition as well. Could you give us a round about price on how much the headers will cost? I was going to go cheap and buy the OBX headers but my pointer finger wouldnt click the right mouse button to finish the purchase. ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Oh thanks again for the fuel pump and tool too.My wife still talks about how nice you guys where to lend that out to me when I did my fuel pump over the summer.

All I can tell anyone right now is that it is a long-tube header that will include a shorty midpipe so as to retain the OEM location for the rear donut gasket. That way, it will fit all available cat-backs. The shorty midpipe will be resonated and will have the factory size outlet and an optional 3" outlet available for those using a true 3" cat-back (such as the TurboXS, HKS Hi-Power, and whatever else is 3" including the BHR cat-back we will work on as soon as the header kit is done.)
We have verified fitment of the header to the car and are next going to compare a couple different collector designs.
The price is not yet determined as I do not know yet what my exact unit cost will be per header kit. I can assure you that it won't be cheap but it will be built with quality and durability in mind.
Then, there are the motor mounts which are about 98% finished.......

If BHR themselves have said it will be pricey... You can guarantee it will be over $1000.
Let's break it down: this is a header system with effectively a resonated mid pipe as well. So expect your costs to be the equivalent of ($350) mid pipe + ($600-700) for headers + unique product offering long tube header premium ($200) + BHR markup and hype factor ($100-300)
Total? Expect from $1250 - $1550 easily

i can see it at 1K$ and maybe a little over.
believe you me, by the time you try to build one yourself you will understand that 1K is not a bad price.
There is a lot more to it than one may think.
Also--yes there will be a power increase and at a lower rpm than most expect. Guaranteed.

...and I bet you can probably get that same power with a racing beat header and mid-pipe combo for half the price as well. Okay, maybe 1hp better with long tubes

you dont have to believe me and I dont have ( yet) hard numbers to post-but it is a LOT more than 1 hp. I would GUESS maybe 10-15
just to clarify- i build my own system
11/24--late entry--just to clarify I do have a boosted engine.

Ooh. Cool. Another cat-back possibility. I would love to do the entire BHR exhaust for my 2009! I want one that takes some weight off, not adds some in, as the Racing Beat one does.
#45
it would be nice if BHR did a single passenger exit exhaust...
#46
it's the only exhaust option NOT on the market. I say go ahead and bite the bullet. It could turn out to be more profitable than you think. Even if for a short run.
#47
haha that will never happen. I'm Just a pushy consumer looking for a single passenger exit exhast. I'm not sure if I was just caught off guard by your reply or if my previous statement struck the wrong nerve after reading your response...

I think the only reason is weight. It looks retarded imo so i personally would never have a single. The weight you save for a few track events or autox a year isn't worth looking stupid all the time. But that's just me. In a dedicated track car it would ofcourse be a different matter.
