Headers

[Ender2664]

So here is the question. I have read alot about headers and i want to know if what i have taken out of the reading i have done is correct. RKSports-good headers but leak sometimes, all problems are solved when you weld them up. Pacesetters- cheap cost, cheap made, people have all kinds of issues like fitment on the y pipe and what not (talking worst case seniero)(i can't spell). CIA very expensive and worth the money if you have it, don't expect any problem and they are beautiful pieces.
All headers should give you with the help of a y pipe between 4-8rwhp with almost no other mods, and for the most part it gives you the hp and trq all the way across the board.

sounds like you've pretty much got it, although the pacesetters are doing a lot better these days.

over tubular manifolds, i'm not sure your gains will be that huge but they sure make things like changing plugs a breeze.

it still beats 3 hours and hamburger hands with the log-style manifolds.

my pacesetters are doing good right now so far. the only leaking problem i have is at the egr tube connection and the cause is my own doing. good quailty if you ask me but yes, CIA are the best but at a price.

honestly, i dunno how much HP u can free up with headers, personally, i think its all about sound. im lookin at that as one of my later mods down the road tho to finish up my complete exhaust.

[Harrison]

u got a dyno?

[BLLDOGG]

I have seen 8's with over 25hp from headers....so it does free up something.
