Hey guys if you go to their website and read it look at what they're saying
Quote: "Powercore Stainless Headers are constructed from fully polished T-304 stainless steel, this header features flowless tig welding, countless dyno hour, and flow bench testing to ensure maximum horsepower and torque Gaines. "An amazing improvement of 7 hp and 2.7 lbs-ft of torque"...Import Tuner(7/01) "

Thats pretty cool if that is actually real not much torque gain but 7 horsepower is pretty nice.

Larger runners are not always better when it comes to exhaust gas.

Exhaust gas can move quite quickly,and with too much diameter, it can actually create it's own drag hindering further movement, which means power loss. Volumetric efficiency formulas must be utilized to ensure proper sized diameter of the runners along with utilizing a good merge collector.

Exhaust noobs............LOL

They want $320 for a header! Also... the quote about making 7hp and how it's dyno tested and **** is written up for every header they sell. What a bunch of bullsh!t.

Ahh I didnt look at the other ones. So they dyno tested A header for A car. Not our specific cars. And yes thank you dezod for owning both of us.
