Default Novel LHD USA-spec headers...not another JDM Novel thread

It's been released a few hours ago, Novel LHD headers have been fabricated.
Although info at this time is limited, we can discuss anything about Novel's latest LHD headers here:



And what is a thread without any pics?
This is from their Facebook page:

although the sound of the JDM-spec ISFs with the novel headerback sounds amazing, exotic-like, it is hard to justify $5800!

No kidding. The performance gain over the PPE headers is probably 4-5HP. Not exactly bang for your buck. They look awesome but too bad no one is ever gonna see them...

How are these headers producing more then PPE and/or Sikky? I would assume the gains are similar.

Like any car, not all headers produce the same results. But I'm hoping the extra couple thousand we have to shell out on this header will produce better results than the competition.

I don't see these doing well because of price and gain versus competition. Either way beautiful headers!!

They look like equal length headers. This would help make more power. $5800... that's crazy. I could see $2000 or so.
