You are correct, in the past we had customer's install headers and they saw a drop in boost but because of the more efficient exhaust flow they did not necessarily see a loss in power. In fact, many times people reported that the headers felt like they improved acceleration.

With that being said, because we are in the very early stages of all of this, I am simply going to recommend not installing headers until we can test them.
