Order info? Details man... we need details!!
I was just checking out the Venezuela aveo site. I have no idea of details.
It's closer to home then Australia, where Brian and Potsurfriend bought their headers.
Read one of the posts on the Venezuelan site.
The blue header is custom made from a place in Venezuela. It cost the guy $84USD($96CDN) to get it made.
Damn, that's CHEAP!!!
Think you could post in Spanish and ask them to get more made??
for prices that cheap you have to wonder about quality
what kind of qualitiy issues are you concerned with a car that doesnt post in the mid 100's?
:lol: r you serious? a car doesnt have to be high horsepower to damage a manifold
The plate used seems pretty thin....
Same as the DVE header. it's just the stock manifold has a really thick flange.
apparentely it was just made at a welding shop on the way to Baruta, it seem sthte car is really popular there but i thihk they have 1.4 there instead of the 1.6
I'd be wary about any "aftermarket" car parts from South America, people who own cars there maintain them differently than most Westerners do, when I mean differently I mean that most people (the poorer countries anyway) aren't completely able to afford OEM same-quality replacement parts, so those people turn to private custom shops that mass produce parts on the cheap. Some people even make their own replacement parts just so it can drive again for as long as possible.
I know this cause I saw a National Geographic documentary talking about the world's most dangerous roads and the worst one which is located in Bolivia is apptly named "Yungas road", which translates to "Death road", a segment of the program talked about people using parts that they made or parts that were cheaply made failing on their vehicles while they were traveling down or up that road, causing them to lose control and crash and die.
Now I'm not saying that Venezuela parts are bad, or they aren't safe, I just don't really think South America is a good place to find such replacement or aftermarket parts...
I'd just get mine from Mexico before I got them from S. America :)
look at the engine cover, sohc is 8valve and dohc is 16valve so its definitely the 1.6Quote:

well then i retrack my previous statement lol
Just cause the price is low doesnt mean that it is cheap there. That could equate to a 300 dollar header or more. Remember the inflation and dollar($1) to bolivares($2144.50) ratio. But I would wait to see if a major manufacturer here would make one or have a reputable shop make one.
Fabricator X Is still working on one...trying to make it more efficient and affordable... patience will pay off on this one.
At lest though the aveo is popular there so i imagine that the parts have to at least be decent
the real question is how hoard would it be to get one here?
All the engines here for the Aveo are the 1.6 lt engine, don't know it'll fit the smaller engines.
My advice is that the custom parts and products here are very good, i dare to say they have the same quality specs as the americans, obviously depending who's manufacturing it (i'll put some info later). There are some garage or tuner shops that have very high reputation here, they even work and ship to neighbor countries like Colombia and maybe Argentina. Intermecanica is one of this garages... I think they support and develop custom parts for the racing Aveo category here, called "Copa Aveo" . So, i think it's not bad at all to get a header made by Intermecanica or from other tuner shop here....
BTW, our metal is one of the best in the world... you can google for more info... :lol:
so is there any way to get one of these?
I'd try it out for $85.
def if they are only 85$ hell id buy em. where do we get em?
If we are able to get these, would anyone know how much it would be to recoat them? The bright blue isnt appealing to me.
they could be pink for all i care, i just want them to work lol
well obviosly, id just not want a bright blue header..... id still use it though
well i sent a message to every member of aveoclub.net that say they are from Venezuela...
I got a reply back from RalfAveoX heres a translation from what he wrote back........
"Epale greetings, really I do not understand a lot the English, what achievement to understand, is that me these asking for a HEADER! Aqui in Venezuela the mayoria are craft, them to have painted, chromed, etc, there is not in if who manufacture them in series for AVEOS, what if you be to told that the performance that manages to is very good, ademas is helped with a tuberia of 2" and Muffle! Greetings. ............. "
man, those translators suck... :?
i'm going to speak with the people in the other forum to see how you can get this header... i think they know where to buy it and how much it costs and stuff.
i'll be keeping you in touch.

It seems that the header setup is 4-1 exit, and 2" piping with its respective catalytic converter... any thoughts?
i think it should have been a 4-2-1 header.....but whateva at least we can possibly get a header..
found some info....
the guys from the aveosportclub forum told that there are 2 kinds of headers, a short one, maybe a 4-1 (used for 1/4 mile racing), and a larger one, this will be a 4-2-1 setup (for daily use or casual racing). obviously prices will vary depending on what you want.... they came with no catalytic converter fitting, so you may have to relocate it is case you want to leave it.
they come in different coatings: that blue one, which i don't know what kind of coating is, chromed, no coating and maybe ceramic as well... more info about the prices and shipping later on.
Great great GREAT news!!!!
I would want to go for the 4-2-1 in either chrome or ceramic coating... leaning more towards the chrome.
keep us in touch!
Thanks!!!
forsurley, id opt for the ceramic coated header
Ceramic >> chrome. The chrome will just discolor and flake with the heat.
well, maybe then Ill go with the Ceramic 4-2-1 now that i know that.
thanks for lookin out.
well i found a price......
$210 + shipping
ill find out more this weekend, or after the weekend.
