They are in the final stages of prototyping at the manufacturer in Italy...Giampiero is telling me the dyno results are very good, but I won't say just how good now. Stay tuned!

Here are some specs...

Weight is 6.8kg, compared to the 10.2kg of the stockers...

They are full stainless steel and the final versions will be hand polished...

I've been asked not to post the dyno results...but they are impressive. I will be dyno'ing my car with them once they are arrive in preparation for S2KDays...



Woohoo!

Greg,
I read recently in a book, "Street Supercharging", that headers for a Supercharged car (I have the Comptech SC) should not necessarily be the same as for a naturally aspirated car. The writer says that for a naturally aspirated car straight pipes are good in an aftermarket header, but for a forced induction car, a header upgrade to larger pipes, instead of just straighter, would be best. Any thoughts on this, and how it applies to the MG Headers?
