Re: Grots vs. Dynatechs I considered both, but the Dynatechs are stepped which means the whole header isn't 1 7/8 like the Grots and they have NO emissions hookups, and I've heard that the slip on collectors leak! <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> Needless to say I went with the Grot's and haven't had any issues with them other than the guy who installed them said that the drivers side was a bitch to install. The other down side to the Grot's is that Roger "the Dodger" is an *** and they're hard to come by.

The exhaust exits the combustion chamber into the 1.75" piping when it has the greatest temperature as well as velocity, then tapers into the larger 1.875" piping to improve flow later on down the header. This helps to fight the loss of tq experienced when going to a full 1.875" header.

Re: Grots vs. Dynatechs The Hookers aren't considered a headers for big power. They are the same size as the other long tubes (FLP, SLP, TTS). But I have heard the Hookers are great, as long as you don't get a set that need extensive cleaning up on the welds.

Installed a set of Grotts on a friends 02 Firehawk a couple of weeks ago and it only took he and I a little over 1 1/2 hours to remove all the stock stuff (manifold, y-pipe etc.) and install the Grotts, Y-Pipe and new plug wires. I was amazed at how easy and quick they went in compaired to the SLP headers we installed last year. You can find pictures of the install by clicking on the link in my sig and look under misc. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
