How do you figure all longtube headers dyno the same all the way from ebay headers to kooks. Just cuz theyre expensive doesnt mean they make more hp

i really think that the loss would be negligible if any at all, just remember to get stainless and the y pipe to match.

If thats directed towards my post i said similar not same...which they do. Price differance is all about the quality of the material used not flowcharts.

I'd advise to get the ceramic ones... I'd imagine rust could be an issue in NC
