Turner just told me only 1-2 HP over supersprint regs or AA gen4's. So for me its definitely not worth it

If no headers on your ride, these probably would be the ones to get just for the coating alone. Ive noticed mine(uncoated) put off enough heat to warm my washer fluid to wear it bubbles out. Annoying when you just wash the car.

I wouldn't buy any header because it's ceramic coated, that's easy to get done.

I haven't looked at many header dynos, but the big sag on these with both HP & TQ from 4000 - 5250 doesn't look too appealing to me.

I noticed that as well. Wish they would of posted a larger dyno sheet. I hate those small ones that you can't examine.

Although you can't really judge much off one dyno, I was going to point out 4-5k is where you really get that punch on an NA s54 so losing out there can be very noticeable.

I agree completely, and you're in that range a lot.

That looks like a VTEC cam change point to me, did Turner work with Honda engineers or something when designing those?
