Starting to see a pattern are you?

Not for nothing, a dyno run is pretty useless unless you do a baseline run with the car stock. Preferably on the same day or at least very similar conditions to when you test with the modifications. The dyno results are only really relative to itself. You could have two exact models of dynos and one is in Denver and the other Atlantic City and they are going to give totally different readings of the same car just due to elevation.

 

Both cars tested on that same dyno this week showed lower than expected numbers. I

[B]Hey funcar, I know it is too late since you already installed the header, but really consider ceramic coating or try those Thermotec header wrapper to insulate the extreme heat the header produces.
Low figure may have been contributed from ECU's power cut when the temperature underhood rises allowed level.
Stock dyno figures seem to be from 190-210 range and they are no perfect figure since it can be very dependent upon conditions where the testing is performed so don't make any haste judgement from the low figure above.
A while back then, my dyno figure came to 211hp at the wheel with HKS Racing header and Amuse exaust and that was without the header wrap that I did.

i don't see how headers and exhaust would make a car slower.
