Installed it looks good

Yep Zircotec and the Swaintech White Lightning are basically the same tech. This is the type of coating that professional race teams use. It's 50/50 whether or not the other types of coatings most people use actually do anything useful or not.

Im overdue for an update but there it is installed and tucked away. butt dyno says it feels more punchy in the midrange but feels like it pulls a littler harder up top as well. might be going back to inlinepro to dyno and compare it to my previous runs. Im happy with it

I've spoken with the guys at ASM directly. They say their header needs to be used with their exhaust to be effective. I was asking if I should get one or another and they recommended I didn't get any at all if I don't get the set. Just an FYI

Did they provide numbers to back that up or were they trying to push a sale?

Yea I can’t see them recommending any other combo as an effective pairing either. Lol

I meant, they rather me not get either if i wasn't going to get both. They said if you get either one alone, it won't produce anything gains. Again, just relaying what I heard; do with it what you will.
