Just returned from an 80 mile drive. Headers rock.

I know I can't wait to get mine

Did you feel any loss in power down low? Meaning were all the gains realized in the upper band because of the loss of backpressure?

No it should be more power anywhere. Dyno starts at 2000 rpm and it shows higher power and torque all the way to redline. I don't think there is a difference under 2000 rpm either

No power loss was felt at any rpm.

I installed an Apexi throttle controller soon after the header & exhaust. When in Sport mode and the controller on it's "high" (red) setting (the only way I drive), throttle response can only be described as "immediate" at all rpms.
