Thank you.
By far my favorite turbo kit! It's a work of art

i'm more curious on the NA aspects of this header. I saw 200hp paired to a 3" exhaust.

I wonder if a 2.5" exhaust would wield slightly better results?

Just have to say that after having both an open track day at the Florida International Rally & Motorsport Park, then attending another event three weeks later, this header and tune make for a great N/A build.

The power is all there. Even when much more powerful cars tried to take off in the straights, the car is now capable of keeping pace and/or passing them. I don't have any overheating issues either! Great product!

I had a quick read but I never saw it anywhere, how much does this header weigh?

what is your setup?
overpipe/front pipe/exhaust?
tune?
I'll be tracking my car as well, nice to hear someone else is using it on the track!

TRD Panel Filter, 2.5" catted, resonated Nameless F/O Pipe, 2.5" resonated Perrin CBE.

I was tuned by Bob at Circuit Motorsports in Orlando, Florida using a combination of the PTuning timing numbers and his own EL map adjustments.

Love the quality, love high performance gains, love new ideas/bits like rotational firing order, CEL fix, springs for thermal expansion .. but as i don't track and use my GT as daily driver, no Cat option is a bit of turn-off.
What options can you guys advise to get it exhaust checks passable? Saw mention of front pipe w. cat, but doesn't stock one already have cat (2nd?) in it, so will replacing it with aftermarket one w. cat fix this issue?
Also as i have no tuners/dynos here and am left on my own, OFT somehow sounds nicer (and cheaper) option for doing by myself some extra tuning of canned tunes / extending them when other bolton bits added / tune relative to available local european fuel quality / or quickly flash back stock FW .. hence i'm very interested too in how OFT support will turn out.

Just placed my order for one of these bad boys with the current special going on, hopefully it won't take too long to arrive. Debated headers for a while, but looking at the design of this one, it really looks like this product is worth the extra couple of hundred bucks.

Having it installed along with a Q300 and Motiv HFC front pipe/over pipe. I also have a Perrin inlet tube and K&N filter. Hoping to hit 200rwhp when I get it installed and tuned by EFI in Brookfield, CT. They have a Mustang dyno, so it may read a little lower. I plan to ask for before and after runs so I can have a real baseline of what I gained.

Going to be installing mine (the last of the last production lot that my girlfriend got me at Boxerfest) this coming weekend along with a Perrin over pipe. Wish I didn't have to be on biz travel this week or I'd have done it last weekend. In any case, can't wait!

Abel, did get my header installed in my driveway and it's pretty dang awesome. Are you guys still looking to generate an OFT tune specific to the header? I might be interested in helping out with that...

No, I don't believe we will be dealing with OFT anytime soon.
