Default Re: Why headers don't increase power on v6 engines

If you say so Mr. Complete Bunch of Crap. Just so you know, I did a pre header dyno, installed long tube headers on my SRT-6, did an open header dyno and finally a dyno with the stock resonator to muffler. 4 hp gain. Not a lot for the money. You can add up the cost. I did around 10 dyno pulls, the cost of the headers, expense of the install, retune. Perhaps a bit more could be found with a true dyno tune but even then you won't find much IMO. Almost all the gains I found in the exhaust were from removing the cats.
So be like me, don't believe it and do it yourself based on results from cars you've had in the past.
