Flyryde Equal Length Header

[Tricked]

This is what I like about this header. It is very well constructed and is ported nicely.

The maximum 2.5" collector is a plus for future NGM plans (hopefully).

I will probably remove the manufacturer label and smooth out the tacks before it gets ceramic coated. Any opinions on that?

Leave the lable and just go over it.

[Tricked]

You won't be able to read the Megan Racing if it's coated.

[smileymattj]

it looks like a little plate welded on the header, thats why he wants to take it off, else there will be a square there that will look hideous.

Got some pics of the full piece?

[Tricked]

Later today, maybe.

[KeWLKaT]

Try to test-fit it first, I don't trust Flyryde. Plus, some people have been having fitment problems with it.

P.S. If you look at the seam where they ''ported'' it, you can tell that the weld penetration wasn't the best... Hopefully it will be able to stand the heat!

[FlyRyde]

Who's had fitment issues? I've had no reports of it not fitting there buddy. Though its not like my word means anything to you right? Glad you got it so quickly Tricked, I cant wait to see some installed shots! Also dont forget to check out that DIY that is posted over at NT.com before you do the install: http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136790

Tricked get some sound clips up when you put it on. I might be looking into this in the future. Also post back on any gains you felt. BOB

[Tricked]

Man, it better fit better than that! It's so disappointing for the Hyundai community when aftermarket support sucks in quality. It'll be some time before I have it installed. I'm low on funds for the coating and I'm not looking forward to the CEL.

I read a thread with fitment issues on RdTib. I remember the guy had an issue with the header resting on the crank sensor/oil pres. switch area, and I think it was touching the fan aswell?

Maybe it was an isolated case, but I rather warn a brother first. And YOU were there posting in the thread aswell, so yes, you've heard about it.

I just don't want anyone to be screwed here, I mean, you are blacklisted on some sites and owe a tremendous amount of money to members on RdTib, so, you'd have to think a couple of times before ordering anything from you.

No hard feelings,

Agreed, if I could purchase these headers through another company I'd be all over it....but I won't risk having my money stolen...

[FlyRyde]

You know the sad part Felix, is that the mods on that forum closed that thread because the poster had no clue what he was doing, and also had no clue that when his car was involved in an accident, it pushed the radiator and subsequently the fans into the bay. THAT was his fitment issues. Not only that, but he didn't move any of the sensors, or bolt things up how they needed to be before posting up about fitment issues.

Now the fact that I've hung around to make sure any problems I've caused are fixed, and made right, doesn't seem to mean much to you. As far as trusting me, I can't force anyone to do this. However, I've been around longer than damn near anyone on the boards these days. And I'll always be here, making sure that the community stays strong, even when that means directing people to other vendors so that products are continually moving and being developed due to decent sales.

For that very reason, I want anyone who is interested in the header, but worried about my reputation being a factor in their same day shipping order to my company, I'll post up the ONLY other company allowed to sell this product. This company helped me and Megan Racing make this part available to you all. http://www.KFXperformance.com which is owned and operated by Bill Hurlin, a great guy doing great things for Hyundai and Kia enthusiasts. Support him if you wont support me.

Now, I've just got off the phone with Bill, and we need somebody to test this header quick! This may be a setback for only guy XD guys, as Bill just informed me that T.C. of NGM told him that you guys have a different oil pan than the GK tiburons do. If this is true, your oil pan may be in the way of the lower flange. I need somebody to verify, as I'll make sure to send out a replacement unit to anyone who ordered already. I think Tricked is the only one from here. But that's one too many problems, if indeed your oil pan is in the way. I might just be the same problem that our GK customer had, and his DIY should take care of it. Anyone who wants to test this for me is welcome to get a big discount on one if they test it, and it works fine. I'll send you mine to test it, and if you want one, you'll not have to waste any money up front to test the fitment for me. Let me know guys, and this offer stands as well if you test for me, and buy from Bill. Thanks everyone.

[Cypher]

I really don't view just shoving some material between the pan and exhaust to be a viable solution to the oil pan touching issue.

I do feel you on the poster having NO idea what he was doing. I just had to laugh when he said that there were no instructions in the box. Sorry bud, but you shouldn't be buying parts like this if you can't figure out how to install them.

[KeWLKaT]

Ah, that makes sense. Like I said, it might've been an isolated case, which it seemingly was.

I never said that you cannot be trusted, just a heads up, that's all.

[FlyRyde]

Well, I hate to say it, but with the past of most vendors in this community running off with money like they have, its enough to scare anyone away by just a heads up. But you reap what you sow, and until I clean up the last of my mess, it still follows behind me. That's why I posted about the other site, KFX, in hopes that at least some of you guys can get a great part for a great price. And the user who posted issues was on RD. The GK guy was kind of new to tuning, but I give him credit for getting his hands dirty and coming up with a solution on his own. He was definitely not the clueless one, that was another guy, but even he just didn't realize his car was screwed up prior to the install. I just need to make sure T.C. found the same issue as my GK guy, and that you XD people dont have yet ANOTHER oil pan on your BetaIIs that's different than a GK BetaII. I dont have ANY clue why Hyundai would do this, since its the same exact motor. I'm sure its just the same issue as the GK owner had, but T.C. makes such top notch products it probably was reported as a big issue. We'll find out :)

[nextgen03gt]

Hello,

To give you a heads up on this header, I will say that I REALLY like the design and will be supporting this product as long as I can get supply on it for the Elantra, XD, and GK I4 platforms. I have looked at a few dseigns and will be sticking with this header as it is now a permanent piece on our 2005 Enforcer equipped Elantra. On fitment issues, here is what I found. I had to cut the dump extension off of the collector and clock it so the flange would clear the oil pan as there is absolutely no way to correctly flange up the header in its present design, at least on the Elantra. Second, the two sensors coming out of the block are close to the one primary pipe, but is an easy fix with a little manipulation and some zip ties. In other words, no problem. Bill did say he will send me another header to cut and fix for fittment on the Elantra and send back to Megan for correction. Its a very easy fix for them as only the dump needs to be clocked a little. I have already fixed the issue and tig welded it back in place. So, I will be testing this header design on our Enforcer project car as I wrap up the rest of the mods. Stay tuned!!

Thanks T.C.

[2003GT]

By Enforcer you mean Police Enforcer. Damn I wish I had money I would love to get a header. BOB

[Tricked]

So, I'm basically stuck with the flange being incorrectly positioned, unless I want to cut it off and have it rewelded? This sucks! Hey, TC, since your high status with Hyundai aftermarket and quality of your workmanship, can you do this for me or would it be best to have Megan Racing send a corrected one? I really want this header as for the 4-1 design and that the primary O2 sensor measures all primaries. I definitely will stick with it if this is what you will be using on your kits.

[Cypher]

I'm going to refrain from my assine comment, and just tell you that the "enforcer" is the code name for the supercharger kit for the 2.0 motors.

[ricerrx7]

Flyride, I'll offer it again. I'll come out and you can test fit the header on my 2002 Elantra.

Sorry when I hear the word enforcer it usually has to do with a Police car or something. Thanks for Clarifying. BOB

[CornbreadXD]

dang i kinda wanted this header too since i neglected headers last car because i wanted a turbo eventually, i'll wait for a redesign then.

[FlyRyde]

Before anyone decides anything, we still need to know if the XD has a different oil pan than the GK. I'll call T.C. right now. Meanwhile, yeah Ricerrx7 I can have you cruise out to my house in Fontana if you're available. Where will you be coming from? I'd just assume test this myself before freaking you guys all out into thinking it won't work for you. I still have my doubts that you have a different oil pan at all. It may be different from my RD, but not a GK I doubt. Ok guys, I'll try to get Ricerrx7 out here, and speak with T.C. first. Thanks!

[ricerrx7]

I'm coming from Palm Springs. I'm working tomorrow, but I'd be available Sunday...

[FlyRyde]

How funny, I wont be available Sunday, because I'll be in Palm Springs, hahaha. Hey but I didn't realize that T.C. had already posted. I looked at the post after his, and didn't even see it. We spoke today, and I realize that you guys could technically have a muffler shop install the header and mod it like on the NGM Elantra, but we'll send out a replacement to Tricked, and hold off on any other XD sales, unless the customer expresses that they understand the mods needed to get it installed. Thanks guys. And glad that this will accompany a bunch of Enforcer kits! Whooo Hoooo on that!

[Tricked]

Customer service??? Wow!! :clap: A correct fitting replacement would be great!!

[2003GT]

You Know how long it will be before they are back up and selling. Thanks BOB

I believe you're talking about me, sir! ;) But like I posted in my "Humble Background" section, I just got into the car-modding world this year in February and the header install was the biggest/hardest thing I've done to my car yet. That's why I need some hand-holding help from you more experienced guys for help. :)

My skills are improving, though, and I have yet to mess up my car yet *crosses fingers*.

If you want to send me the header, I can fix it for you.

Thanks T.C.

[Tricked]

I will see what Flyryde is going to be doing about a replacement header. If all else fails, you'll be hearing from me. What part of the east coast are you in again? I will eventually be looking into the Enforcer with some tuning. The Delta kits pretty much sold me on the Enforcer. I can see good gains with this header and the NGM SC.

[FlyRyde]

T.C. I think for now, I can pay you to mod the headers for me, and that will increase the price of the header for future XD guys, but not for Tricked. I'll have two new headers sent your way, one for Tricked, and the other for Megan. Then any future orders I can send your way, pay you to mod them, and ship either back to me, or to my customer direct from your location. As long as you get your $$$ out of it, and its not to time consuming, then I think the price adjustment will be minimal for these guys. When we get the new version from Megan, they'll be cheaper again. How's that sound everyone? I'll give you a call this coming week T.C.

[Freddy Krueger]

Is this the header you're all talking about?

http://www.flyryde.com/images/products/MRHTheader01.jpg

If so, i'd like to have more detail on it. On the Flyryde website, it say's that it's for all 2.0 03-08 GK Tiburon. So it would fit all XD2 (including my 06) and maybe HD Elantra.

[ricerrx7]

Have you not read this thread?

[Freddy Krueger]

Of course!! :D

Just wanted to be sure. That's all!

Since no one had post for a while, i was kind of hoping to have some news about it.

[only1db]

the gk 2.0 and xd 2.0 are the same thing. the oil pan is the same.

perhaps it was only a few that were screwed up...


it will not fit the hd...the exhaust is slightly different

[Silentwolf]

But the issue as stated earlier was that it was touching the oil pan. The issue was that this was originally designed on the RD/RC Tib. Something is different in that design cause the same issue happens with the OBX header designed for the RD/RC Tib.

[wolfemanXD]

Is there a way u can show us a full picture of the header? Or did u guys already show it?

[TheKoreanSaab]

I have tried calling flyryde 4 times in the past week no replies whats the deal. I called about the header to make sure they have corrected the issue and had some in stock.
