LoL If someone told me there were no gains in getting my headers, I would seriously just laugh at them. There are plenty of gains. They obviously never looked at a dyno or did a side by side run with them.

When I did my Dyno, I picked up no less than 20hp from the headers/cbe. And I'm not done yet. I still have yet to get a full intake/tune. So there's only more power to be had. Thats when you Really see the full gains of the headers is with a Tune.

The problem is you sacrifice a bit of Top End to gain in the Bottom. Sure you might not have 305hp vs 298hp but the area under the curve from before/after you gain 10+ hp in the midrange which is where its actually used. This is a plus to me. Power isn't just about the number you End at. It's about how you get there.
