Interest in Supersprint V1 & V2 headers

[Arith2]

If you’re going to spend the money on SS, it’s kind of silly to not go V1. They’re the option that makes more power than other options on the market.

Too bad Epic stopped making their headers. SS V1s are basically it.

If you do that, you have to use the SS section 1. After the section 1, you can use anything on the market… though if you’re doing a full NA build, the oversized twin 2.5” SS section 2 is the move. From there, all supersprint mufflers make the same power— the differences are only weight and volume.

yeah i'm in that same boat. whenever i try to open the catalogue of SS, it's never 100% clear to me what works with what SS parts, then it's even more complicated when you try to figure out if it's compatible with oem or other non-oem parts.

for me, i'm interested in upgrading my non-stepped to the fully stepped headers, but i'll be running a BW race exhaust from sect 1 back. pretty sure the SS oversized stepped headers are not a direct fit.

I'd love a sticky or FAQ thread where each SS option is outlined, with the differences and the pros + cons of each option. Such as the oversized system, normal sized system, what options of which diameters, when oversize actually matters, etc. Maybe I'm just slow, but the SS product offerings have never been straightforward to me.

I am working on this for the official GB listing on the website.

I agree with you, I actually learned about a new configuration for the E9X last night when researching fitment information.

Alternatively, MSRPs could drop further because SS knows EVs are about to kill their business model...?
I'd be a worried SS stakeholder these days.

I have good news for you. EVs are not going to dominate the future for a long time if they ever do. They're turning out to be a bad market. EVs have their place but it physics is limiting them significantly while internal combustion has made crazy amazing leaps even this past year. Even F1 changed their tone on EVs when they were trying the electrify the sport by 2025. It's just politicians we have to worry about. Porsche is exploring alternative fuels and the FIA are creating a class specifically for alternative fuels. Usually manufacturers test the technology on the track before the cars.

I'd be all for converting to straight ethanol. It'd be a couple thousand dollars but it's clean by EPA standards and makes more power. The biggest part is most cars can run it.

If you consider that new car markets requiring exhaust systems will go down to limited numbers except select exotics - I'd assume their volume will go down and as such, their production & supply chain efficiencies.

That means prices would go up - unless they'd be clearing house entirely.

It’s the 60mm one.

you'll be fine, the 60mm Sec1 bolts on to OE and similar

[Mattn1192]

If you purchase the non-oversized section 1 with the OE style flanges, yes.

Just had a call with them. They will inquire to get this in the GB.

I'm working with ECS to get Early Access pricing to people in this thread and on the Connex newsletter.

I should have the GB listing up and ready to go on Monday afternoon at current rate!

that's awesome! can't wait to order some V1s and matching Sec1 finally. thank you for putting this GB together

Guys I said this once before but I'll repeat myself. This very well may be the last discount/group buy on SS headers. With the EPA cracking down who knows how much ECS and other vendors will be carrying them. Trust me, if you buy a set now you'll have no problem getting close to what you paid if not more down the line.

Am I able to put the Supersprint section 1 resonator delete pipe on my Active Autowerke headers?

Will admit I didn’t comb through the entire thread but are section 3s part of this?

Yes!

All sections.
