Any test proven results regarding headers? I'm considering QTP or Hooker. (Performance first...$$$ second.) Anybody???????
Kooks headers. Check out this thread http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread...ighlight=kooks
all headers will produce similar hp.....wut you want is stainless steal....kooks, QTP, ARH all produce within 1-2 HP of each other and make sure to get them tuned after
Ive got the American Racing Headers and i couldn't be more happy.
The Quality, Fitment and Looks are unbeatable IMO.
Price is a little steep but i got a killer deal on mine,
I would stick with what basballny2 said, you want stainless steel and you want the tuned length.
Ditto that.Quote:

OBX...love then and they are stainless steel!
ya kooks, QTP and ARH are all stainless
I know it's a long shot but, does the Kooks header/ORY combo connect painlessly to the Magnaflow C/B, #16723?
depends on what you want to do.....do u want to do true duals? if so the magnaflow becomes obsolete
If you have a Cam and or Heads planned in the future for your car and want to try to milk every bit of hp & tq ..
Then I would go QTP, Kooks ect or any header that has a good merge collector at the end..
Which headers like Hooker and Pacesetter dont have..
Modded with a cam and heads those HVMC's will net you more Hp than just 2 at peak and especially under the curve
while improving your peak torque..
Here is a dyno graph they both are the same car except once with Pacesetter headers..
Then a second time with QTP Headers with High velocity Merge collectors..
Not only are the peak numbers up more than just 2
But look at the graph where 3200 rpms is highlighted..
The QTP pull 16hp and 26 ft lbs higher at 3200 rpms over the Pacesetters..

Keep in mind though this is a Head/cam car and all cars will dyno different..
But header vs header the proof is there..
header vs header the hp isnt 26
yeh sorry typo but it is 26ft lbs and 16+ hp at 3200 rpms
At peak it is 11hp & 7 ft lbs
ur dyno sheet or w.e image u have isnt working....and i STILL dont believe QTP headers and headers alone will produce 26 ft.lbs. of tq. and 16 hp over pacesetters
well how do I show images on here so you can see the graph your self??
Looks like 9hp at peak. 468(QTP) and 459(Pacesetter)...I can see the graph btwQuote:

My own car had similar gains just going from edelbrocks to QTP's
thats not just because of headers tho....im sure the car had work done to it.....heads, cam etc. if so the reason your seeing the increased in hp is because the 1-2 hp is being magnified by the larger amts. of air......header for header tho its only 1-2 hp

tru tru just re-read it.....QTP Kooks or ARH are the way to go
