Slick Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 What I meant by my last post was this... it will cost me about $100 MORE to piece a cat back system together, than it would to be able to buy the WHOLE system. As I need a catalytic converter... it is a PITA and expensive to piece 3 different maufacturers parts together. I heard the Borla system b 4 I ordered it... and OMG.... I almost fainted with joy! :bow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheel366 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 M.M. After you put your headers on, did you find it easier to change your oil filter? Trying to save myself from getting a relocation kit if I don't have to. What are your thoughts? Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaritimeMan Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Relocate, relocate, relocate. Check my domain page in my sig to see where I stuck it. With the Thorley's, it's actualy a bit tighter now than before, and I'm glad I put the kit in. It was only like 35 or 40 bucks from summit for the perma-cool kit, 88 has found them even cheeper on ebay. In my mind, its a solid investment, plus you can add an oil cooler while your at it, and do you engine a huge favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Definately get a relocation kit. My headers make it next to impossible to remove the filter w/o slopping oil everywhere. I'm installing one on my next oil change for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheel366 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 M.M Do you happen to have a part # so I can order it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 yes. I will be relocating fer sure. The oil filter is a PITA as it is to get out.. without having the afdtermarket headers in the way. Good investment I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelmanLS1 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Can I expect broken manifold bolts? Does that happen to everybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 While on topic, does anyone have any pictures of ANY WD21 headers? I'm planning on trying to fit some type of header in my R50, but haven't decided whether the SLRs for the Xterra or Thorleys for the WD21s would be a better bet.

mws Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Slick - the headers will likely ship direct to you from Thorley. And likely well before what Summit has posted. They just post what they are being told by Thorley. For reference, I paid $60 for the cat, under $50 for Dynomax muffler (both from Summit), and $200 for a VERY impressive install from header flange to behind rear wheel. All hand bent, perfect fit, 2.5" pipe, all welded joints (except from header flange to pipe). That's right, $300 total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
