I agree with you however this dip is ALOT lower down than the stock dip. Stock the dip runs from 3200 to about 4500 before it starts to increase.
The dip for these headers is only 250 to 500 rpm wide so anything less than 6th should see you out of it in a pretty timely fashion.
My BIGGEST problem with this car is when i want to go just a LITTLE bit faster i always run into the dip. So you either have to drive the pants off it between 4500 and 6000 or short shift at 3200 to keep some torques. I just hate the feeling of starting to get going and then falling FLAT on its face for what seems like ages.
To summarize i agree with you however i think the dip is short enough now that it will be a much smaller hurdle to jump.
