Correct no cats and no cats in the graph you posted with my JoeZ exhaust. Anyway what I'm trying to point out is that you can't make an accurate comparison with my graphs as our runs were not done on the same exact dyno nor were our conditions the same.

Some facts:
1. Sikky has the highest dyno numbers to date on NA setups
2. Sikky has the fastest NA quarter miles times
3. Sikky has had far fewer CEL issues during install

Considering I just made my deposit, Sikky will have the fastest Forced Indjction quarter mile times also

I can't argue with the first two statements.

1) 399+HP with JoeZ vs 402+HP with Borla is really pretty close and withen the realm of reason.

2) It should be a close race, but I haven't seen this evidence, I must have missed it.

3) Simply not true. The PPE issues happened because a couple of folks misread the PPE instructions. Those issues have been straightened out. What hasn't been mentioned is that four Sikky customers who had CEL issues went to PPE for o2 simulators that worked, because they could not get satisfaction from Sikky.

Each and Every PPE customer has commented on the excellent customer service it has received from PPE.

I don't want to start a feud here, but let's keep the facts straight.

Comparing dyno graphs is weak... only under the same exact dyno operator, same conditions, same locations, otherwise it means very little.

I wholeheartedly agree. However folks were asking for Dyno results, so I posted them. They all were run on the same type of Dyno under similar conditions. My run and my friend's were run on the same machine, on the same day, with the same operator. They do show, however that the two headers are comparable in power output. That JoeZ and Borla exhausts are comparable in power output. I recently changed modified the rear section of my exhaust adding two inlets to the stock muffler. The pre change Dyno run close to a year ago showed 4+HP less than the run after the change. This means I did not lose power with the change, and it appears that the change helped a bit. The Graphs also show that the Hi-Flow cats probably cost something close to 10HP. Again, gross comparisons only, use at your own risk.

Lou, I'm not trying start a feud here either, but with all the opinionated posts I wanted to throw out some Facts in comparing PPE to SIKKY. Nothing drives me more bananas then to see folks post things without the facts.

1. Agree

2. The evidence is there. The fastest posted quarter mile times in NA form have SIKKY headers. Not saying PPE couldn't be in the top as well, but they have yet to have someone behind the wheel to prove it.

3. Fact still stands as we have had fewer folks post issues after the installation of the SIKKY headers.

SIKKY anything!!!! All the way!! For those of you that don't know who I am I'm the one who went to sikky and got this whole header thing going for our community. It was sikky who was the very first company to ever make a successful set of headers after numerous companies failed. Need I repeat numerous. I'm not sure of the exact number but I'm going to go with atleast 4 or more if I remember correctly. Therefor I have had headers longer then anyone. I have never had one issue with my set of headers and I run the living **** out of my car. My car truely gained 50 rwhp from the headers alone. I know I'm on the highend but they are true numbers. It seems that anyone who has them installed at JE has atleast gains of 40rwhp. PPE headers do look a little better as far as the welds are concerned but you simply can not even see the welds or headers. I'm all about performace and I do not regret getting the sikky headers because IMO they are better in performace. I think that has been approved across the boards. Sorry for the long post I've been laying quiet for some time. I got tired of reading the same disrespectful posts trying to discredit sikky in any way. Anywho I think anyone would be happy with either sets because headers truly transform the beast.
STAY SIKKY!!
