Dyno results thanks to National Speed.

AEM V1 Intake, DC sports header, Berks High Flow Cat.

Tell me what you think.

The 1st and 3rd picture go together and the line starts from 2k rpm to 8k rpm.

Pretty average for a stock ap2. DC header has been shown to lose hp on some s2ks.

 

I don't believe anyones ever dynoed it, everyone just assumes it about the DC header...U've only seen one dyno of it and it was from some magazine online and it should a couple hp increase

 

Yeah it was 93 degrees when i ran. All the turbo VW/audi's i was with were complaining about the heat. With a chip and a few bolt-on's they produce quite a bit of power. TONS of torque.

So there isn't any other dyno of a DC sports header besides the magazine?

 

i dont know man that dyno curve doesnt look so good. Look at those dips. It definilty seems like its not running as well as it should or something is choking it.

 

Think a Rick's header will pull a little more performance than the DC sports?

 

^Definitely. They are only for AP1s though.

 

yeah tell me about it.... i used to own a 1.8turbo gti, with just a chip you gain close to 30-40hp and 50ish ft lbs. heatsoak sucks tho hah.

 

looks aweful lean to me.

 

Several have dyno'd it. You can use the search to prove it to yourself. At one point one of our old sponsors and DC distributor, Import Development, ran their own tests after a few charts were posted showing zero or negative whp changes. They came to the same conclusion, reported to DC who said they would revise the design, but they never did.

Here is one of the early tests. The image links are gone, but the owner states, no increase.
