Which Header??

Which Header??

Post by 04_yelneon » Fri Feb 22, 2008 2:49 pm

What HP difference would it between a pacesetter header and a kirk racing header on a pretty much stock motor? I have a magnaflow exhaust system and cold air intake with a bigger TB. Im going to get a little bit bigger cam soon.

And if decide to go with a racing header, any recomendations on a muffler since the cat will be gone? Wouldnt I get alot mor acceleration with the racing header? Thanks guys

If theres no difference in HP, then Il just go with the pacesetter type header. My car is already loud enough...

the butt dyno in an automatic isn't a valid dyno. A headers gains is relative to the rest of the intake/exhaust/head mods. If you plan on doing any kind of head or cam work, and want max peak power, the race header will be a good choice.

Which one will work best for you depends on your future plans/goals for the car.

I do want a bigger cam. Im getting the crane cam on modern performance. CHR-242-25. So the racing header would be ideal for me. Thanks...
