The numbers from this header are looking very, very promising. We've been getting consistent and repeatable results with Virtual Dyno, but I don't want to mention any hard numbers until the re-tune is finished and I go back on the real dyno.

As for sound, I have yet to hear two cars with this header that sound the same. I think most of the sound characteristic will be determined by the catback section of the exhaust. On a completely stock catback it is louder on throttle and higher-pitched. It is kinda raspy, but very easy to live with. I have heard other exhausts that have a very deep tone with this header. I think the only thing to count on, sound-wise, is that an aftermarket header will increase the on-throttle noise level.

And I really need to keep a close eye on my car around @nelsmar. I'm worried that one day all my parts are going to find their way over to his car.
You better keep that garage on lock down... I'm coming for that car. It ruined my car forever. LOL. Your car + E85 would be bliss! Too bad you cant use E85
