I took it to the track, times and MPH stayed the same.
My guess is one of the dyno's are incorrect. I hate to think I spent 1400.00 to loose 50 rwhp. Hmmmmmmm
lol should have stayed with the lg's then if your gonna cry about it.

I changed headers from the 1 3/4 LGs to the stepped 2 inch Kooks because I spray the crap out of it. I was hoping the bigger header would expel the gasses better and pick up times on the juice.

I was told by Kooks and SDPC these headers would pick up 15rw on motor in my application

make sense now?

Are they new Kook's? If so, maybe THEY copied AR's design and moved a tube. Naaa, that could never happen. But I do see they are running merge collectors now. Go figure.
