I still had a torque dip when I did that even with E85. Catted or gutted with E85 felt the same just louder gutted.lol You can make 200whp with any header on the corn, now good midrange might cost a few bucks in my experience, but the internet doesn't care about midrange.

Even some of the more expensive headers have poor midrange too. My nameless is pretty bad below 4500.

Well kinda, the Nameless one is pretty solid at 4500rpm, its where they typically make peak torque. It just falls hard from 3000-3500 then takes off again, IDK if one would even feel that dip outside a dyno? The midrange hump makes the dip look worse than it actually is.



The PTuning header on the other hand, has a canyon.lol

You feel it. It’s not too bad on the street but it’s there.

Well I appreciate that everyone is so passionate about this topic LMAOO but I think i'm going to try out the Megan Racing Headers and if I do have problems (which I doubt) I will just purchase a better known brand.
