Headers Specs

Post by bubbaflaat »

I was wondering if anyone has seen any dyno charts. Or a respectable source showing gains from any type of headers on a K8? I just installed some SSautochrome headers on my k8 and it seems faster, but maybe i'm just imagining things!

Yeah, the install went very nicely. I had to grind the flanges a little, to get them to clear the shift linkage and oil pan. But I do think it made a difference in top end power. Yes I did get the one with the egr bung on the wrong side. I just said screw it and plugged it :2thumbsup:
