Yeah... I wondered that too silver but he also stated he has stock cat and exhaust. This is definitely why. J's header benefits come with huge single exhausts

Bang for the buck, probably not worth the cost IMO, but I did it anyway and wouldn't go back.

versionjdm, I'll be dynoing my Toda header this upcoming Saturday. I got a baseline dyno this weekend so we'll see if I just bought a shiny tube with a hefty price tag or not. I'll keep you updated.

Oh, I also installled the Megan testpipe yesterday, and I definitely feel a difference. But only a dyno will confirm that.

I will be installing the new ASM header in a few days. I'm not expecting much but will be dynoing before and after install. I hope the extra underhood temps arent a problem?
