There's more to a visual inspection. In the old days of dyno emissions testing that would be perfect. In PA they take your ECU O2 sensor datalog for about a week of driving. Either you have to send fake signals that will pass to the ECU (MIL eliminator might not work for that), or you have to drive for a week with the old header before going in for inspection.

I got the AWR. Most power, stainless-built. As they say, they use it on the WC car who are making about 240 hp, NA... Biggest gain of power so far!
Cool,
I think the AWR header will be my next upgrade.
I just got my flywheel and clutch on last weekend and I must say, I was not impressed. It really didn't seem like a $1000 upgrade. There is a little differnece in acceleration (not quite what I hoped for) and the clutch is much nicer. Just glad I had a friend who could put them in for me cheap. (stfu)

Hey, Justin i just ordered a header today, one of the guys said you were off! I have a couple question's i hope you could answer? (1.) Is this header a 4-1 or a 4-2-1. (2.) What's the difference between the 2. (3.) At what rpm's should i notice a Difference? If you could get back to me on this, i'd appreciate it "thanks".KYMP5 said:

So you're saying i'll notice a difference in the upper range of rpm's, more on the Topend! If so"Thanx".Mike R said:
Well i have the OBX and at around 3750 to 4000 rpm it really kicks in and it pulls pretty hard to redline. I don't race my car or drive very hard, but i will say that 1) It was the best in vestment for hp gains i have made so far 2) comes in nice on the freeway when i need to drop to 4th gear to make a pass - usually to smoke some pos farted out ricer (nana) 3) sounds cool and is A LOT better to look at under the hood that the pathetic stock cat - most ignorant people who look under my hood point to it and say "what is that thing?" (shocked)
So, if you got the cash buy the AWR and ceramic coat it. I just could not justify spending that kind of money on my $13,000 car

Triton: The header will accentuate the torque peak as is. Right now that's 3500-4000 RPM. You'll notice the biggest gains around there. The reason for that is the cams. The cams in our engine are NOT designed in any way shape or form to make power above 5000 RPM.
That said, if you got cams designed for a torque peak around 5500 RPM, that's where you'd see the most gains, and you'd have a much higher peak horsepower.
Since the headers accentuate the rest of the engine you'll get better throttle response and more torque and hp than you're used to. In order to distinguish between 4-1 or 4-2-1 you really need to have the cams to match.
