So I believe 30-35 HP gain is possible. Wish I would have baselined my vert and we would know but I was impatient and put the headers on as soon as I got them

On a side note, good luck finding authentic JVT headers at this point. They are scarce and the no-name Ebay headers are hit and miss with fitment and flange straightness and thickness. TMS has a set of stepped headers for our cars that is well made yet pricey but still cheaper than SS or AA(the only other ones that are confimed to fit without a hammer or a grinder). If I choose this route again these will be the ones i get. Ceramic coated too.

thats a shame, especially about the lack of authentic JVT ones. i was hoping to steal some great headers for $200
