We are curious to see how it will perform but I doubt there are 5% of the owners out there who would daily drive this exhaust - it's nice and sweet at idle, but crack the throttle and it'll scare children off the sidewalks.

Again, this header will bolt right up to the 2.5" overpipe/downpipe combo, same outlet location, etc - that is why we have the v-band in the pic is to do differential testing between the two.

Thanks! Any idea on power differences? Currently, with my build goals, sound isn't really a consideration, I'm looking for maximum gains possible. I'm really only planning headers, exhaust, and tune for my build (for power, anyway), so I want to eek as much power out of the combination as I can. I fully trust you guys to find that peak combination on this car, I just hope I don't have to start over to reach it.
