How come you didn't wait to see the results from the elite headers??i ordered a set of headers. and sikky called me today to confirm that i have been charged 500 for a deposit until they ship. its nice to deal with a company that notifies its customers when they order things. i ordered the joez carbon fiber exhaust tips last week from carson toyota.... not a peep. and i have been charged. when i ordered my exhaust last year i called them after 2 weeks, only to have them tell me that they didnt have any in stock and they weren't even being made yet because of lack of parts. i dont want to rag on joe, its fine on his end, but they couldnt even let me know what was or wasnt happening. i just hope sikky has these made in 3 weeks like i was told so i can get them on.

The Elite Headers will have a dyno sheet and video to back them up!!!Oh and PS.... They are mocked up on Splats car right now! I was gonna post pics but i LOST MY CAMERA.. I'm going to sleep and will find it in the AM. Oh yeah and we did it without pulling the motor..... SWEET!
I have been thinking about this all day and its bugging me... I have looked at all the dyno charts I have here for the F's... I find a few things very interesting... #1 The torque curve is absolutely the WORST curve I have ever seen, it should be flat. #2 The headers gain only 5 HP all the way up to 5200 rpm ish... That seems really odd because you would think the power increase would be linear..
Look at the difference in the torque curve of splats and Sikky's. It just doesn't add up..

Let's hope your fab skills are sharper than you observational ones
On his dyno, the drop form the first peak, to the bottom if the drop is 10lt/lbs., it then rises an addiitonal 25wtq to peak, this equates to about a 15wtq difference between peaks.
On your graph, the decrease is a little less than 10wtq (hard to tell with the much different scaling/graphing), but indeed increases the same amount form peak to peak (15wtq).
There may be a couple ft/lb difference, but thats is hardly a big deal, especially since long tubes could certaily effect the powerband before/near peak torque
Ofcourse, why would you have something negative to say about a competing product
This says it all, I don't think we need to say much more. But I will add that this really comes down to the difference in dyno's. The dynapack is far more sensitive and will show fluctuations more than the dynojet. The mass of the rollers spinning tends to smooth dyno plots out and will not show the fluctuations that are present as clearly. Also, for comparison sake this setup has no tunning software or AEM ems setup on it. This factor pretty much eliminates the validity of a comparison between the two cars and there dyno plots.Let's hope your fab skills are sharper than you observational ones

I'm sure you are right.
The problem with only being able to type what you want to say is that most of the time we make it short and sweet, and when most people read something they take it in the worst context possible and think it is an attack on them when it is only a statement
. This is a big struggle to deal with in my office when communicating via email.I think that we are all just making sure we understand everything and are trying to get the answers that are important to us.
sweet !!!
