What was the number you called to ask them about it? I may give them a call to find out.

midrange header results are great for daily driving

There's already a million and a half midrange headers available. There are only 3 top end ones I can think of (J's, Comptech, and Megan) and one hasn't even been dyno'd yet (Megan). J's and Comptech are both very expensive, so it'd be nice to have a dyno proven top end header with competitive pricing.

I also hardly see how 5-8 horses extra in the midrange really would help with daily driving. A Hondata IMG probably helps more with daily driving than a midrange header that usually loses top end power.

Want midrange? IMG and gears are your answer.

ricks baby! Comptech intake, fuji exhaust, or VAFC didnt really do anything from my dynos. Ricks header is the one that gave me midrange and up range bump.

Well the CT intake and fuji exhaust only add a negligible amount of power. The Rick's is a good midrange piece for sure, but reports show that it loses power in the top end. This is probably why you only gained 2 horses with the VAFC tune.

reports? The only one was the dyno by a member here who did the install in and out without driving. If you drove around with it for a little 15min etc it will adjust and you will see the peak gain

i think comptech and fuji add 2-3hp total. more for sounds and looks with weight savings.

my midrange dyno all the way up to 7500-7700 or so were 2-3HP higher than people who had 2-5 more peak HP than me though. Def noticed it with ricks driving around and using the extra mid range

eaking out 2 more HP at peak isnt a big dealanymore as the SC is getting installed soon

I replaced the fuji with the sparrow so should be more of an increase there.

I somehow doubt you could even feel 2-5hp. They are all pretty much the same. Stick with stock. 2-5hp isn't worth 700+

ricks header initial tests were 6hp 4 tq or so.

HP is all about how much you wanna spend

go FI you will feel the 100+ rwhp
