buy it and test it your self.




WOW....talk about being a douche.....

I actually supported you on this when you originally posted about this...... I even contacted subliminal about testing the header on my dyno....however he had already commited to other shops..... I remember how hard it was just to get the charts the 1st time around. All I was asking for were your dyno charts
since you said it made 10hp..........



I'm sure a ton of that 98% would have stopped hating if you proved them wrong with your dyno sheet. (unless you already posted it somewhere..)

i'm with INTJ on this; I could care less about what JDMBALLEROMGZSICK shit I have, I just want to make sure it makes power that I'm not just buying a header for the sake of having something aftermarket. If it has gains w/ proof, i'm all for it.
x2 I could care less about mad tyte JDM bling ( although the J's and Toda seem to be proven power makers)... I care about making power period.

You made a claim about something, you now need to prove it or it becomes a myth.

What supporting mods do you have?

heres a review on customer who bought the header,


from notoriouspig

It went from 195-201 just bolting the header on. About 30-45min in between the runs. we did 3-4 runs with each header all of them consistent. I had been driving the car all day in hot ass Az. At the end of the day I made 211 with a 03 ecu and vfacII and 279 on a 75 shot of spray


mods,-

Aem v2, 70mm test pipe, 70mm single exit ti-c. The comparison was just a straight header swap though. Made 6whp up top and power across the entire rpm band.

195 with stock header
201 untuned ( header bolted on)
211 tuned

I dyno'd my header today. It made good power all the way across the rpm band over the stock header. Dyno graphs will be available tomorrow. I did a back to back comparison at Locash racing in phoenix, Az. I literally changed the header on the dyno. The fitment is good. The stock donut does fit it and ground clearance is good. Overall im happy with my purchase.

After all the its great to see someone step up with some dyno #s. When pairing the header with the Invidia 70mm TP and the Ti-C single there is a night-and-day difference in the car. The dyno couldn't have worked out better since this guy has the same supporting mods as me! Cheap proven power ftmfw.

I'd think it would be a smart measure to put the black heat shield back on. The A/C lines, battery, and fuse box are all right next to the header. This thing gets HOT. I accidentally drug a knuckle across it after installation and still have a scab. That was a couple of weeks ago...

I'm not sure if anything catastrophic would happen if you left the black shield off, but it took less than 2 minutes to put it back on. **Note** The bolt closest to the firewall on the black heat shield should be loosened but not removed. This will make re-installation much easier.

My header is already looking better than the pic I posted. I'll snap a few more when I kill this tank of gas. I'll be sure to scrape the acid off the battery terminals this time.

Thanks for the posting. That goes a long way towards talking facts. The header was worth 6 hp, and 10 more with the other ecu and vafc (must have been a early car).
