Nice reality check for men expecting unreasonable HP gains from headers alone.

Umm...admittedly I didn't read the whole link... but in my scanning I saw them claiming that certain headers gave 30 and 50whp increases ???

Umm...wtf.... even a hytech unit doesn't give more than 25-30whp on a b20 vtec setup.... talk about unrealisitic.

What engine was that test done with ? doh tell me a stock b16...

That was your first mistake :lol: . I'm talking about the average joe who wants to buy a normal set of headers and expecting anything more than the peak hp gain achieved in the test(8.1 hp)

WHat's the difference.... still don't see any B making a 50whp gain from any of the ones listed.... a/c or not.... tuning or not...

as my good friend the Rock says....

IT DOESN'T MATTER....

A cam is not a header.... misconceptions unite !
