Default Re: Headers anyone???

I am very much looking forward to a set of headers. I give anyone that actually steps up into this market place props. I would ask anyone that wants to bash their products or slam them because of their "attitude" to STF. Racing is all about trash talking. I have seen a number of reputable companies talk all sorts of trash about other offerings. Why? Because it gets people attention and often times generates sales of one kind or another.

Now while I am telling those people that want to trash a company to STF that only applies until a product is proven or disproven to work. Why talk bad about someone who is willing to produce headers for you? Support their efforts, ask for proof that what they produce actually delivers, then make your decision on whether or not to purchase.

Personally I think that these guys can get more than 7 hp out of a set of headers. While Super Sprint is a reputable company they made some compromises when designing a set of headers - cost to produce, ease of installation, packaging, emissions, etc.

Looking at the stock headers they look very restrictive to me. They may flow pretty good for the non SRT-6 cars but considering the exhaust manifolds are the same between models I am guessing they are a significant choke point for some of us.

Using the 7 hp figure for Super Sprint (on the non-sc engine) headers I am going to estimate that between 20-25 hp can be realized on the SRT-6's and 8-11 hp on the non-srt6's. Make it a set of long tube headers that replace and relocate the primary cats and that estimate goes up.
