Default thinking about switching from QTP to ARH

i bought QTP lontubes but after hearing all the talk about the ARH's would it be worth the trouble of switching to the arh's...would i be downgrading or upgrading?

neither as far headers goes, but ARH has much nicer ypipe, especially if you bought that mufflex 4piece hunk of **** 2inches of ground clearance, banging, pull timing, loose power ypipe.

I wouldn't do it. The QTP headers look better and have better collectors, plus they're almost $200 cheaper. I'd venture a guess that QTP's would make the same or possibly more power than the ARH's due to the better collectors. Pair that with the fact QTP's are a proven header a thousand times more over than ARH and you have a winner in my book.

he was referring to the QTP y-pipe.

i have a set of qtps on my car and they fit like garbage. the y-pipe is custom but i'd eventually like to switch to kooks headers.

are you nuts? Theres not gonna be a power difference, if it is itd be so small you couldnt even see it on a dyno probably. (like .002 difference)

stick with what you got. if youre looking for a gain,g et a flowmaster Y pipe merge collector and have a shop fab you up a y pipe or go true duals
