My first thoughts were that the crossover pipes were marketing hype, on the HKS header and this header. Big block muscle car exhaust systems may benefit from such pipes, but I don't see the benefit in having them on a small four cylinder header. Secondly, I'm skeptical about the benefits from the twisting design, it sure looks nice though. I once heard that a bend in an exhaust system is still a restriction even if it is a mandrel bend, so lots of bends in this design. Correct me if I'm wrong Gernby ?.
This header looks real nice, and the price is crazy cheap. The one thing keeping me from trying it is having the cut the heatshield for fitment, my aftermarket heatshield is too expensive to cut up like that. They should have perfected the fitment so you don't have to cut the heatshield.

well we are supposed to get like a foot of snow today so dyno will have to wait. I don't want all that road salt to get on my car. Hopefully this will be the last snowstorm of the season

wasn't 1320 also going to do some dyno testing? obviously we'd need independent tests like yours anyway but it boggles the mind that 1320 would produce this header and then just leave it to customers to buy and then test for gains.
