Ok everybody, the dyno-chart supplied gives very similar results in-line with other manufactuer's header gains so I see no reason to disbelieve it. If anyone really wants to, I will purchase the header and have the car dyno'ed before and after. To do this, I'll need donations sent to me since I really don't want a header at the moment, but I have the skill to install it and am located fairly close to a dyno. If you're interested in such a proposal, PM me for my Paypal address.

you're kidding right? That dyno they provided is complete GARBAGE. Just look at it. I'm sorry thier 'baseline' has the same torque pre and post VTEC(sans stupid bump of course), sorry my car's pre VTEC torque is substaintially lower than it's post VTEC torque. Second look at the fact that it's dynopack dyno. How many s2000's baseline at 196s on a dynapack? Much less how many 2.2L dyno at that level. If I were to guess I would say they did the following....Dyno a stock 2.0L and cut it off at 8300RPM(comes in at 196). Dyno a 2.2L with the megan header and amazingly it comes in at 7whp more at 8200 rpms.Baseline can't be a 2.2L 'cause the fuel cutoff occurs at 8300, but the 'meganized' one could be. The graph is highly suspect and tells NOTHING.

I also consider that graph completely useless. There is 0 regulation on what aftermarket companies can claim a products power potential, weight, or anything else.
If a real business man could create a formidable aftermarket company it would be much different. Megan racing should have an involved forum sponser gladly donate some of dyno time to a couple highly visible forum members for at most the cost of the header itself at cost.
Think how many 10's of thousands of dollars Megan racing would have right now if this header was dynoed and made solid gains. It only takes 30 sales to make a 10g revenue.
Long story short, someone dyno this DAMN THING.
