It "could". Remember that thread by the fellow who dynoed after the installation of the Toda header? He claimed up to 20HP BUT, some argued that there were things at work that he wasn't telling.

As for Giore: Since you are not a "fan" of either .................
If you are simply being the "Devil's Advocate", then GO, GIORE, GO! We can always use the "balance".
BUT, if you are doing it just to be a PRICK, then ............

I just wanna see both dynoed side by side with no other mods...

Then I can say which I like better...

I like the prices avaliable for the Vortech... BUT I just keep on think in the back of my mind... YOU get WHAT you pay for...

Plus Ive seen dynos on both sides that are good, bad, and ugly...

On the most part, this statement is true, but I think you'll find that in this comparison, this is not the case. (Check what all comes with each kit.)
Another example is the 3M film protection. I know for a fact that my kit cost $200.00 US for just the pre-cut materials alone. When you see what some people are paying for an installed kit on this board, you just gotta shake your head. Prices range from around just under $400.00 to a WHOPPING $1300.00 for the same coverage. The extra $900.00 does NOT get those people a better product (same 3M film) or necessarily a better installation.

Hey, I've got a Hitech exhaust and the manufacturer claims 25Kw increase.

All I can say is if you believe that you then I've got some great swamp lland for sale.

If you add a header and an a Exhaust to a none FI car then yeah I would say the the HP Gain you would see is like 5 Hp...

But when adding to FI its a different story....

Beside why get a header or and exhasut if your not gonna see at least SOME gain..

The header and exhaust offered a totle of 57lbs in weight loss. I gained 40 lbs from the supercharger, so an effective 17 lbs loss is where I currently stand. I also have JIC coil-overs that is a 2.5lbs unsprung weight reduction at each corner.

Each car is different you can take 2 2002 S2000 one with comptech and one with vortech or both with the same kits and dyno. Either way results will not be the same.

10 hp from an exhaust on a NA car is possible.
