RE: Power gains from headers alone???

I'm not hitting a dyno until I get my wet kit...The butt dyno is showing some gains though!
It seems to accelerate faster with less strain on the motor. It's effortless. Kinda hard to describe, but I'm sure someone will know what I'm talking about.
I'm thinking the headers MORE than made up forthe slight loss in low end torque that I had from the dual conversion. I'm pretty happy with the set-up. I've also set off like 6 car alarms since I got it, but that's a different story

arrrrgh....DAMNIT!!!.....haha, jk [8D]. so what were your gains with the full setup?

Sorry dude...I threw the headers on when I did my exhaust haha

The absolute best sounding exhaust on ANY sixer that I have heard was a 4.0 05 mustang with jba headers and jba dual mufflers and x pipe. You cannot recreate a V8 but this is the closest I have ever heard. So its a great loud

right on.....i know not to expect any major gains with headers but any noticeable difference that is healthy for my engine and a sound improvement on top of that is a good thing. is the sound a good loud or an annoying loud?
