So you still have your stock catted front pipe installed? And stock crank pulley and stock over pipe? I think that will help a lot too

Correct. Only actual part I have to make more power is my unresonated catback exhaust. I should be getting my gauges within the next month then from there im gonna try and get headers over pipe, and front pipe catless all the way through so i should see a bit more increase in power.

How long did it take JMS to do this? They do great work but im wondering if they can get it done in one day......

I actually did the install myself with the help of some friends. All together it took about 12-14 hours but thats with breaks in between and running into a few problems along the way. I just went to JMS to get the dyno. JMS could probably get it done in a day, they do good work. I used to take my evo to them when I had it and they rebuilt the motor on it and didn't have an issue with it at all.

Yes you will! Can't wait for more videos

Nice vid, that vortech logo looks good with the white. Sounds good too, well done. You are going to love the headers, the torque dip becomes just a bad memory.

Ok, I found your thread and I am subscribing. Any new updates? Any new videos?

No new updates as of late, i'm getting my gauges within this month so i'll post an update once I get all of that installed then from there headers hopefully the month that follows. Still working to get more videos as well so theres more to come.

Update***
Just placed an order for an MSA dual pillar gauge pod and should be placing an order for my AFR and boost gauges soon as well. I also decided to go with Rev Works UEL header just trying to get an ETA on wait time before placing an order.

Edit: Placed my order for Rev Works headers through FT-86 Speed Factory after their speedy reply on a ETA

[reyruiz191]

Installed my Revworks UEL headers today. First impressions are that it sounds great, brings out the boxer rumble. One issue though is a small leak from the actual header. I'm going to try and get it fixed this week myself, if not then looks like I might have to send it to Revworks for warranty work. Here's a couple of videos as well. Shot on my Iphone but I'll go out and get some actual footage with my Canon 7d later on.

Yup, very small leak, gonna try and fix it Wednesday if not revworks has already replied and told me they would do whatever was needed to resolve the issue. Not sure I have the funds for a Dyno at the moment, on top of ordering these headers I also ordered an msa gauge pod and my gauges so maybe ill get a Dyno next month.

They sent me a map that disabled the cel for no cat right before I installed them and I sent them some logs so now I'm just waiting to hear back.
