Re: VRP Header: Introductory Price
Here's the list of mods on the mercedes that ran that dyno. It from the thread over on mbworld.
The list is pretty long...
ECU, pulley, cams, upgraded intercooler with remote reservoir (two pumps), intake, headers, custom exhaust, LSD, brakes, wheels, springs, shocks, cosmetic stuff (grill, antenna, roll bars, wood trim), oil catch can. I think that is pretty much it

If I could I would front the 5K to get in on the buy in and then once we had our testing done, send them off.
If you guys are interested and meet me half way I think this will be a very beneficial and cost effective upgrade for the community.
VRP is expecting 15-20 on N/A and 20-25 on SRT (expect a lot more for a pullied/intake/ECU car).
This could be the mod that puts the SRT over the 500HP with no juice mark and the N/A over the 300HP on stock displacement.
So basically this will be open for two weeks. I will close it on May 23rd.

That is one bold power prediction, 300hp for the na? Aren't you guys at 250 now? You are hoping for 50hp from just headers. Srt seems equally as bold. I am sure you are talking about bhp and not whp though, right? Whats the highest whp on an srt to this point? The highest I saw was my buddy at 363whp or so, with huge torque, 430 at the wheels or something crazy.

Re: VRP Header: Introductory Price
Well i can tell you from 100's of dynos 363 hp with 430 tq was wrong...possibly a spike.
Where do you get 50hp from headers?.......
Ill let you know real soon what VRP headers add to an SRT6.

Re: VRP Header: Introductory Price
I could do the down payment also after I know:
Are they stainless and coated?
Do you need to lift the motor off the frame to install them onto the motor.
Iam believing that they bolt on to the existing down pipes?
With a yes, no, yes response Ill be interested, Thanks Woody, ENJOY

But to answer your questions, YES, YES but only on the passenger side, YES

Look forward to hearing how your install and performance works out.
Had a local guy look at my SRT sometime back who makes headers for old hot rods and boats... His price was way to much $$ without some volume...

The dyno wasn't wrong, at all. Hell, my ms3 makes 260 and 310ft lbs. All depends on the tune.
And no, you won't be able to show me 50hp from headers. There is no proof that it will do that on an srt6, how can you be so sure?

Lifting the motor is super easy its one bolt on the bottom of the crossmember for each mount.
I know what you mean about the price. I thought about making my own from stainless but it would require either a motor on a stand or tons of hours on the car snaking the prototype in and out for fitment/clearance.

Im not saying they will make 50hp, i thought thats what you were saying.
If i see 15whp gain i will be satisfied with the headers. Any more and ill be thrilled. Some people think this isnt worth the cost/hassle and i completely understand their point of view. However, im at the point in my modifications where the basic stuff has been done and theres not too much left. The cost will get higer and the gains will be less(law of diminishing returns).
