I was looking at a JDL EUL header, Nameless OP/FP combo with highflow cat and resonator, and Q300 or something to keep the sound from being too loud. What I didn't know was how much of the gains from the header in particular are additive with the ESC. Either should get rid of the torque dip but how much could I expect the overall curve to move by the addition of the header? Thanks a bunch for any help you can give in keeping me busy while I wait these long upcoming months.

It also smooths out the hp curve and has some gains through the mid range.

The header will also make your exhaust extremely loud during cold starts. Make sure to snag an exhaust that will mellow out the noise. I have the q300 with the high flow cat in the front pipe and I think it's the perfect balance of sound.
