It's been awhile, but I am back and have some exciting updates to my F! As you may have noticed, I've been fairly quiet for the past year. Well this was mainly due to SIKKY having had my car for R&D, but the car is now complete. More details will be coming shortly and will include "Dyno proven results", but I can tell you the headers are Gorgeous!!! These new headers have been proven to produce more power than both the original SIKKY headers and the current PPE headers. In fact even in 100 degree shop temps and with the addition of my new GESI Cats, my car is making more power (top end) than it did in the past! Until more detail is released by SIKKY, enjoy the teaser shots below!

Is there anything wrong with the originals? Not uncommon for people to refine their product designs plus if I recall the Sikky products were always cheaper than PPE if that matters.

Agreed^^^What was wrong with the first design as they made great power? Could enlarging the tube diameter increase power that easily? If so why wasn't it done before with the first design? Also doesn't exhaust velocity have to be taken into consideration when the diameter is enlarged?

I think he's referring to the stock header cracking at the flange. There's been a handful of members with the issue more recently I think.

There's a lot of science into making a quality header. I don't blame them for producing a V1 and then progressing it from there.
Always a good sign when companies are willing to advance their product line than be content with their first design

^^^Agreed. We should all be happy the platform continues to evolve. It's like getting mad at Apple for launching a new iPhone or OS... It's how the world operates. You get better or die. Nice to see Sikky and PPE both working on upgrades for the F Family. Competition is great for the consumer.
