so how much hp is expected to be lost peak? much at all? i enjoy a good interstate run from time to time, and don't really wanna lose my top end

 

could i get a reply to this asap please?

 

from ricks I think they said you should be gaining, they isntalled the header then dynoed it asap and thus it showed a los of 1 or 2 hp at peak with 6-7 hp at mid. Go out for a drive and let the car warmup adjust and should be into postives.

I'll be dynoing once my VAFC comes in. sick N/a set up Should be hitting 13 flat with the VAFC and my other full bolt ons with gears.

 

According to this dyno sheet from Rick's: http://www.ricks2k.com/images/s2kca/HeaderLg.jpg

...you lose 3 hp at the top.

 

yeh but it was only dynoed that one time right after it was slapped on and not driven. I think someone else can explain it better than me but this has only been posted about 100 times already

In the end your not losing $$ with ricks its all quality. Just got my ricks license

 

will this header hinder any chances of getting a decent hp around 240-250 whp n/a? talking, cams, itbs, i've already done intake, exhaust,and test pipe, and 4.57 is about to be done

 

240-250 out of a '02 being NA? YIKES!!

 

forgot ot mention the ricks allows you to reuse your stock heat shields

 

Hey, look at this, they are even on sale now too Rick's Header Sale!

 

i just want an unbiased answer, is this gonna restrict me in the future? is it gonna limit my top end performance in the future? you don't have to try and sell me on the product i already ordered one, i just wanna know what i have to look forward to here
