SKUNK2 S2000 HEADER v STOCK- Does it make Power ?

- I decided we share our findings.
I'm taking the S2000 to the LHT / CHD Meet at the Fontana Dam and didn't want to drive a stock car.
We decided to do a back to back test from completely stock to the Skunk2 header.
It was tuned with the stock header shown in a previous video .

Runs were done on the same day within 2 hours of each other.
You decide if it's worth it.

Jeff Evans mentioned before that the factory s2000 header was pretty good from the factory. Although I’ve always trusted his judgement, I’m glad you guys were able to show us all with dyno comparisons.
The car looks great John. You really have it looking nice.
04 s2000 here. I have this header, along with Berk-70mm cat, Skunk2 exhaust, k&n intake system. Really sounds great.
Love the channel, thanks for continuing to upload great content.
Also... If my engine ever hypothetically blows up, I want you guys to do a j37 swap for me.
Thanks for everything you guys do. These videos are super informative and I've learned a lot form you guys
Great. Thanks for the comment and thanks for following
love the S2000 vids, safe trip on the Fontana Dam meet
Thanks buddy. We’re all excited.
Man, sounds like fun. I wish I had time to go.
Saying hello from WA State.
Awesome to see more s2k content John!! Do you have the link on the back to back test on SC car?
Wish I could make it!! In my slow ass GD3 Fit...
Bur my wife's birthday is the 16th and despite my best efforts, I can't convince her this would be the best way to spend the weekend lol
Lol. We understand my friend. I’ll try and get some footage and put a video together.
Wish her a happy birthday from LHT
Looks to me like the entire low to mid range before the VTEC crossover actually lost power. Am I reading that dyno graph correctly?
Save your money and buy a test pipe and get a tune with that
Are you guys not going to turbo the red car? Thinking about turboing mine. Everything you described is what I want from my 2005 GPW
I forgot how beautiful the S2000 is in red
Feel like I haven’t seen you guys in a while, keep up the nice videos. Any interest in doing a livestream again in the future?
We’re doing a build on the Beet hatch we’ve being doing a weekly update on. We are possibly doing a pod cast with Bert .
I've had a mixed bag of results with Skunk2 parts ranging from suspension to exhaust parts. I've had Skunk2 valvetrain parts, no problems to note. I did have a super cheap OBX exhaust manifold at one point before "upgrading" to a Skunk2. Lol. Granted all of this was back in the early to mid 2000s.
How was the OBX manifold? As bad as some of the reviews say?
@@quest8795 it was horrible, cracked within the first few months. Of course it didn't super fit very well either so that was also a bummer.
@@mechanix6191 oh dear lmao
I was thinking of their M42 turbo Manifold for my E36, but maybe I'll pass on that 😂😂
🤘
Skunk 2 header and invidia header are the same for ap1?
What are you experiences with the skunk 2 header vs the Js racing header?
Without actually doing them back to back on the same dyno it's hard to say. The problem with most tests, someone is profiting from the part that produces the most power. In our case, I don't care.
Have you guys tested any stuff from URGE? i.e their header, cams, midpipe etc..
We haven’t.
You should of tune both setup ,to really see what kind of gains people could expect as well
As mentioned in the video, it was already tuned with the stock header.
@@LHTPerformance oh ok
what was the difference between these and oem on a supercharged car? I had a really crappy obx and went back to oem and it does feel a lot better, wondering if its worth going anything else since everything I've read and was told by a tuner is that oem headers flow the best. currently have full exhaust and test pipe with oem headers on top of the supercharger.
The OEM header is very good. In our testing on supercharged cars, the larger tube headers start to show gains in the upper HP range. At around 400whp there’s very little gains but at 450+ we’ve seen 8-10whp . Same as exhausts. It goes to shown how good the oem parts are. Now turbo is completely different, the oem exhaust really needs to go.
@@LHTPerformance Thanks for the reply! yeah I have and hks kit so I don't make crazy numbers.
I have a blown 05 S2K... how much would you guys charge for a full swap? J32 Or k swap
I honestly couldn’t say as we’ve done one.
@@LHTPerformance it was worth a shot. Thank you
@@rayclaudio4141 It’s not that we can’t do
It, just very difficult to price. Custom work is often priced by the hour as there’s usually RD and figuring solutions to problems. It’s not something we can put a price on unfortunately.
@@LHTPerformance I totally understand..
I was just trying to get an idea
How did it blow?
Is there a trick to getting that header to fit an AP1? I bought the header and for the life of me can’t get it to fit. People on forums are talking about removing motor mounts and shifting the engine over to get it to fit.
Drop the sun frame bolts 1.5”. It will go right in.
@@LHTPerformance thanks I appreciate. I’m loving the videos as always.
Do you recommend the full race tubular exhaust manifold?
Yes. Excellent quality
What exhaust are going you get?
We’re building one of our Stealth exhausts.
@@LHTPerformance Nice. Can’t wait to see a video of it
Sorry I'm late
