Of the headers? NO, right side looked longer. OEM manifolds, yes. Very close to equal length.

As I think about it, I think the headers are real close to same length, side to side. The factory plumbing had to be cut off the same, and those pieces looked identical in length on the floor.

Hmmmm, lol. This is making me wonder..

Ok... just got home... very long day today... LOL!

I will say I'm very happy with the JBAs... One thing.. the car did sound a little more raspy at first but in the 90 minute drive home the sound changed and that initial rasp is gone!

Ok.. 2 second review... Car is now a bit louder, tone is deeper, more full... pretty much what I was hoping for!

More to come...

lol, what he said.

Everyone who has heard it since the header install has all noticed a distinct difference in the sound. All like it so far, and say virtually the same thing that scrming just said.

Did you dyno yours today John? Mine goes on the dyno tomorrow afternoon.

No dyno... Plan is to wait until my new tune is done and then I'll dyno with the stock tune and then dyno with the Trifecta tune... 2 birds with one stone kind of thing... LOL!

Gotcha!! I'm still waiting on the tune as I was told HP was going to have a tune out directly. I couldn't find any info yet, so ..

If your car does well with the Trifecta, then I might just follow your lead yet again, lol.

Thanks ! tease

Hmm... I've been checked out the HP forums and they really seem to be dragging their feet on the V6 Camaro...

mrray13 · 12-30-2009, 11:15 AM

Yeah, I checked their forum yesterday as well. Found the same thing you just mentioned, however, Jeff (I've been calling him Rick for some reason) told me they had one.

I'll probably go Trifecta if you give it a thumbs up. All my gear heads buddies have never heard of Vince, so that's why I'm a bit leary. HP, they've heard of. Diablo, they've heard of. And the list goes on.

Anyway, I'm patiently waiting for your results. In the mean time, I'll figure out my intake options and get that done. Then when I do send off for a tune, I'll have most, if not all, bolt ons done!!
