How many of us have the Eurojet headers?

[H3LVTCA]

That's it? ~10 people?

IIRC, Eurojet made only a handful of these, definitely less than 20.

I also found a couple folks in the MKV classifieds who are either selling their EJ header or have sold it but haven't yet updated the for sale listing.

[DrivenAllDay]

I have not been on here much recently, but I have had the EJ header installed for some time now. LOVE IT!

[milesjascha]

I have the headers on my 06 rabbit with TT borla exhaust. I have the CE on but I need to get my APR software updated. I love the headers though.

[Vash350z]

Would have been nice if they made more, so the rest of us wouldn't have to buy knock-offs

Eurojet went out of business, amigo.

[tchilds]

We don't know what happened to eurojet until someone makes a public announcement, amigo.

For all we know they'll have some new name next month, a turbo kit making 400whp, and a flying furry dragon that can talk to little boys!

[DerekH]

Interested in hearing the EJ guys side of that story.

[thygreyt]

what do you want to knw?

[JDJP98058]

I saw someone mention Evo Headers... what about Eurojet headers vs Evo Headers? Do Evo Headers get complaints for being too loud also? And we arnt talkin "rice" loud are we? (With AWE exhaust) Cause with this equipment I would assume there wouldn't be too bad of a drone, I would expect more of a "clean/raw" sound.

Besides these two, is there any company that has anything on the market comparable to their quality?

[a7xogg]

You can put my name on this.
Quality is top notch. Everyone was impressed with the headers. No low end loss and lots of mid range and high rpm torque + hp gains.

[DerekH]

I'm struggling to figure out why people immediately equate header with loud. Its a header, its not a muffler or resonator. Yes it will change how the car sounds. No it will not make the car a lot louder. Maybe a couple of db due to the increased flow but there is not so much more flow that it is going to blow your ear drums. No one knows i have a header on my car until i show them.

Well a cast header like the stock one will certainly be quieter than a tubular header.

[DerekH]

Stock manifold is not cast, its stamped. And like i said with the flow increase it will add a bit more noise and change the sound but it will not increase the amount of noise by a level that the human ear will recognize as 'header'.

[BlackRabbit2point5]

if you don't have one now I doubt you'll be getting one ever... STaSIS is sueing EJ now due to general shadyness that up until the buy out had only been experienced by customers

[rod_bender]

The actual 'truth' in Stasis vs EJ almost doesn't matter...

Whichever side throws the most coin will prevail.

My hunch: since the defendents dont seem to have another source of income, they will run out of money before Stasis.
Getting to trial: 2-3 years from now and $100k + per side spent.

To Stasis: ok you made your point.
If you win, what do you actually get when the EJ guys are broke by then?

huh... ok.
seriously?
i'm not even going to continue the "debate".

[lessthanalex]

I think we can all agree on one thing. Most of us posting in this thread enjoy the EJ products that we have on our cars.

I for one can't wait until they boys get back up and running and start working on some more products to continue to make my 2.5L better!

[tchilds]

lol the only truth in this decision will be the judge's decision. that is why this isn't resolved already. if it were as simple as truth then everyone would work together and pay people what they are worth, not force them to mark products down to grow an interest in the market then kick them when they're down.

[BlackRabbit2point5]

eh I'm aware a lot of people are madly in love with EJ and at the same time theres a lot of people angry with EJ. All I know is every time I considered one of their products it never came to production and I found something else to use instead and I heard enough bad stuff about the company over the years to not want to do business with em. I was highly interested in switching to their tubular turbo manifold at one point but came to terms with it never coming out long before the stasis drama happened. I spend most of my time on GolfMKV.com not here and to say the least Eurojet has been banned by that forum and everyone over there hates them due to a bad batch of intercoolers.

[rod_bender]

My comment(s) refer to the silliness of the civil court system.

I like EJ product, I like/respect the EJ guys.

No way does anyone outside the suit have any information to comment on who's
in the 'right'....

bringing up an old thread but I just got a set of eurojet headers with the high flow cat. do I need to get longer exhaust studs or are the ones already in the block fine? I also bought all the hardware but wanted to know what are some must have tools for this install, anything special?

Long extensions will help. I made the stock studs work but longer ones will make your life easier.

[TylerO28]

You'll want m8x at least 45mm studs

Take my name off the list guys I sold my .. but he should pop up around here...

I think I'm going to try and make the stock ones work, seems like hard enough of a space to take off the nuts never mind adding all new studs to the list

Once the mani is out of the way the studs are quite easy to get to.

did anyone else read the actual charging papers on the bottom of that page???

WOW all i can say is there is 2 sides to any story but from the looks of it that was a shady thing the guys from EJ did...

regardless i love my ej exhaust!!!
but um??? yeah they're screwed!

so I should have all the hardware I need to install the headers tomorrow and I'm hoping to be able to get them on this weekend. can those of you that have them give me an idea of what I'm getting into with installing the headers myself? are there any tools outside of the obvious wrenches that I'll need? I'm just assuming it's really difficult to get access to the nuts holding the header on
