Default no headers

I have a 2002 ws6 A4 with Borla, ASP pulley, lid w/K&N, and a Yank ST3500.......I'm getting ready to do a cam and springs......I'm thinking of the C1...Have any of you guys ran a cam w/out headers?

Default Re: no headers

No, I did headers first. A buddy of mine did his cam before his headers, though. He still gained ~20-25 with the cam only. After the LT's, it went up almost 40 or so. You may feel more power with the cam but the headers will wake any cam right up.

P.S.- I just did a C1. No post-dyno yet but I like the way it feels and sounds. You'll like it but you may want to find something in a 114* LSA for an A4 car. Food for thought. Good luck! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
