I'm thinking I want to do a set of longtubes and a shorty o/r H very soon, and I was just wondering.... will I really feel a difference from the stock headers? I know they add quite a few horsepower, but will I really feel it in the seat of my pants? What RPM range is the power gain most noticeable?

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

actully, for those that had both headers on their cars.... it doesnt produce much more HP. however, it does produce more TQ. the torque usually dies off at like 4k rpms, so you will notice more of your gains down low.

PS: use the search feature. there is a 3 page thread on this very topic 2 weeks ago.

Ok thats cool, I like torque more than I like horsepower. I'll let you guys know how they are once theyre in.
