Default Sikky Headers with custom 3" exhaust

Just installed Sikky headers and wow, great mid and high end torque and power. S+ mode is now a beast mode. Sounds amazing minus the smell from de-cat but otherwise, the power and sound gains more than offset the smell. Anyone thinking of this upgrade should pull the trigger.

Man, I'd love to see some "after" numbers on the dyno. I've played around with this idea for about a year now!

On second thought, listening to the video will make me regret giving up my sikky headers to you...

Evening... Any chance of a sound clip or a short video...? Was thinking about buying the headers & would definitely appreciate it...

I am considering headers too for my GSF, just like I did when I had my ISF.

Back in 2012, PPE headers were superior to Sikky in terms of quality of product and install, and that's what I installed. I see that there is a thread about Sikky V2 headers in the ISF forum still being sub-par in 2016.

Am curious on any opinions in terms of quality, fit, and finish of the headers for the GSF between PPE and Sikky.

The thing that gets me time and time again is adding headers and exhaust yes makes a bit of difference but for f#cks sake its not night and day yes more noise, and feels faster. Put it down the 1/4 and then tell me. I have done to many car to remember, yes with a FULL DYNO TUNE you will feel the difference, but show me a GSF 1/4 MILE TIME in the 11s without SC. They are not a drag car they are a very nice cruiser. PS no offence intended.

There's an old adage that remains true today:

Cheap, fast, reliable. Pick two.

No doubt they will not crack 11's without a S/C. I would be more than satisfied if they cracked 12.5 w/ headers/midpipe/tune. I would not put an free-flow exhaust on them as the noise overrides the prime value of the car for me, a luxury, peppy, cruiser. Most definitely not a race car and not meant to be.
