no offense, but this is BS. don't get me wrong, i'm glad someone posted these up, but these same shots were posted by greenpsycho like a month ago (before i joined, but i still read the boards) and the thread got deleted shortly after.
you can find the ripp thread here:
clicky
and here is what green said:
more info in the thread, but to clear up confusion, these are SIMILAR to rpw headers in that they are long tube, but not the same being equal length runners etc. also, most guys already know, but in n/a and sc apps, shorty headers just don't compare with the long tube equal length ones
you can find the ripp thread here:
clicky
and here is what green said:
As we all know, long tube headers are better for n/a and supercharged applications than the "shorty" short dump headers (like kamikaze or RRM headers). Until recently, our only option for really high class headers were RPW's
Well, RIPP took it upon themselves to make some sweet lancer headers. I don't have all the facts, as this is just a sneak peek at some prototypes, but here is what I do know:
-full stainless steel, no combination, no need to ceramic coat, no rusting
-thick 16g steel piping. most other people use thinner 18g
-thick flanges prevent warping due to extreme hot/cold cycles
-equal radius tubing. bends are madrel bent, not crimp bent like other headers, meaning the runner size is the same throughout, allowing for even, more efficient flow
-long equal length runners. Only one of its kind for the 4g94. not just long runners, which increase the torque curve tremendously over shorty headers, but also equal length which offer even higher gains. most headers will cause loss of torque, this will most likely cause a gain in torque all across the powerband
-bolts directly up to stock cat converter, no bending, no welding, complete replacement of exhaust manifold and stock downpipe
These are just prototypes and I've been told the flanges will be the same polished stainless steel as the runners with no discoloration on the full production models. But you can see from the pics, these are super high quality headers, you can even tell the curves are mandrel bent from the pics

I wasn't aware that there had been a thread on this before, wonder why it would have gotten deleted.

To be honest when I saw the pics I thought someone had jet coated the RPW headers.
Looks really similar to me, too similar.

For 2006 RIPP has a set of long tube headers designed to scavenge heat and give you the maximum horsepower out of your Supercharger Drive System or NA plateform.
The RIPPMODS header program is the best. These are the only headers designed to work specifically with the engine and its electronics, no other header on the market that can make this claim.
You can easily see from its unique design the RIPP header incorporates a full-length primary system, long collector and mating center section. So essentially, you are purchasing two very precise systems. They a include a stainless steel flex section all made from quality 16 gauge T304 stainless steel that is precisely mandrel bent and hand assembled and TIG welded. Additional features the 3/8 inch flanges and a fully polished look everyone will appreciate.
The RIPP header program is always strong, and the Lancer OZ did not let us down, the power is very impressive and is being tested independently. Our in house testing was very positive, DYNO sheets soon.

I just got this from Ross:
"Yes, in fact they will have an O2 bung for the stock O2's and a supplemental O2 bung and cap for a wide band.
They also will have an EGT spot."
Nice.
