I know this is a bit off topic. You aren't affiliates with 86_zn6 by any chance?

Not that we know of at this time. They just dropped last week, we have 3-4 sets installed here. 3 that i know of, 1 that has been picked up, we have one installed on the shops 10 series. We have not put the shop car on a dyno, maybe i can talk Malen into getting the car stock, getting a base line off Church's DynaPacks then with the Skunk2 intake, then with the header.. And we would at least have a baseline from there on out to compare parts, of course the heat would play a big role here as its a great 65 or so now and when it hit 110-115's it would make a difference.. I can say after week with the header on no CEL yet, No exhaust leaks, The car is performing great with the Skunk2 intake, header, and MXP Catback

Sounds like a plan. Would be great to have those three dynos to compare. Any chance on high flow catted version?

Thomas, how would you compare this Skunk2 to the MXP?

Oh man.. thats a hard question..

For the price point the Skunk2 is a great header, the first 20 that went out, needed a little bit of finishing work, but they are correcting that now and its fixed from here on out. BUT again the price point is good and for a EL it sounds great.

My MXP UEL.. i love it, id pick it over any other UEL, EXCEPT the JDL, i mean you get a over pipe with it, looks amazing and sounds amazing.

The MXP EL vs the Skunk2.............. that would be hard, they are both great headers, i wouldnt be upset with either on my car. IF you was going for the over pipe in the future then its a no brainer to grab the MXP, if getting a over pipe isn't in the plans, then getting the Skunk2 is the best option.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Will probably roll with the MXP and will get it from you. Can't resist the value of the overpipe and of course that UEL rumble.

Thanks man!
