Which is exactly why i asked for a Dyno comparison of all the different headers, on the same car, much like JRE did for the intake tests.

If theres a performance comparison showing the ET and MPH for each header sure that would be even better, but thats extremely unlikely, hence why I asked if anyone has a dyno comparison.

People buy CAI industries intakes because they "make the numbers" and look awesome. Im sure people buy headers with the same logic in mind, so wheres the dyno sheets (proof) to see how each stack up against each other?

Dyno's do not provide REAL hp figures but are only a tuning tool. They will give you an idea. If you want real data then the track and times will NEVER lie.
And you know this for a fact? Ive done quite a bit of research on this, thats what I found. Who cares if the steel came from China or russia or the USA or wherever. As long as its the proper material and size they advertise, it'll do exactly what its supposed to do.

I agree! I don't believe, or take for fact, half the stuff that is posted on here. The stuff that is posted just shows a rating for their current setup with their environment. If someone posts a dyno run with before and after then thats great, and can show something. Unfortunately though your right not many will have the comparisons your looking for.

For most things i usually do tons of research before i purchase however with the car, i let the professionals decide for me. I did do some research but from what i could tell there wasn't enough info available to determine which is better (as far as direct comparison tests). The guys at ADM Performance are top notch and i went with everything they suggested and have been tremendously pleased so far.

Yes I wouldn't be saying it if it was not a FACT!

Don't take my word for it, call one of the major distributors of them like Maryland speed. See for yourself. Or search "Maryland speed"'s posts ON this forum.

agree, any header that is stainless will do the job . from a $400 to a $2000 header. u might have a few hp diff and u might not.
