Where the gains happen minimize how noticeable they are. You definitely notice improved drivability for normal driving, but it is subtle at partial throttle. It's hard to feel "power" down low when you spend a fraction of a second in that area in first gear then never go there again if you are staying in the power band. Again, going from a stage1 tune to this header with a non optimized stage2 doesn't impress the butt dyno. I'm sure the first guy to go bone stock to header plus tune all at once will be blown away, because that is the only way you feel all those gains at once. Wait for actual dyno results and tuned results before you declare a fail. And calling people out in general is nothing personal.

I gotta say, as well, that if you can't figure out a header install without directions you shouldn't be doing one. Clearly people who shouldn't will still try and directions would help them. I was not at all upset with no directions. I also got a follow up phone call to see if I had any issues and to offer advice. Completely unsolicited. I had worked out the same solutions they recommend. It's just a matter of taking your time and thinking it through. Hmm will that plug 2mm from the header melt? Probably. Well no big deal I moved it for install I can just ziptie it out of the way. That kind of thing.
