That's what I'm sayin'! I'd love to hear the dyno results and about any group buy opportunities.

Those babies are lovely. :eek:

Looks like the one from Australia - Look on Petes site; he has an update on the dyno info. Infact, I'll just rape some pics off his site; I'm sure he won't mind. Let me know if I **** you off Pete


The headers and 2.5 inch exhaust showed minimal gains, but just like he said, the car was completely stock, so now the potential for added power is there.

Here are some pics:

We've been through this a couple times, do a search. I'm pretty sure Aaron got his headers from Terry, who markets under 'Tex's Headers', there's one or two other sources, I can find them if you like, but like Keith said, Peter has the best connection on info for them, he's seen them dyno. Speaking of which, when everyone was looking to buy headers, I said that if you look at the stock units, they're actually pretty good, and not to expect any kind of real solid gain, especially on a stock SC4, and especially not the 25hp that was quoted by a couple of guys, including a certain SC dot com website I won't mention. Headers and exhaust for a few hp? The key to performance in an SC4 is in the timing and the cams, gotta go into the motor if you wanna see more than what you'll get from an ECU, or you'll have to spray, the stock intake, exhaust, and ignition are already pretty good from the factory. I've seen a car drop 7 tenths from a set of headers, but it just ain't gonna happen here, strap on a bottle!
