For those wanting dyno printuots of the ganis we have gotten from the RPW Header system on the vehicle, go to tha above link. THis is a fully controlled test car, with no intake or tuning mods so as you can imagine, with tuning and air intake mods the vehicle can only get better and the header package can only produce better results.

And no our system will not be compatible with the RRM down pipe package

is there going to be a header/downpipe combo in the future? and more importantly for me, does the header fit Automatics?

Yes there were gains made from them (check the bottem of this sig) and these are not seat of your pants gains these are dyno proven gains - so there is no faking it... we gained about 3 NMTorque and about 8hp at the wheels most of the gains were found in the top end with a little low end lose

What mods should you get in my opinon I would recommend getting an intake and then the Headers then a programmable ECU in the form of Haltech or something similar, - why because the headers to get the most out of them you need more intake air otherwise you may find yourself thinking why you bought them they are thirsty for air - why the programable ecu so that way you will amximise the simple mods that you have done and it is tailor made for your own car not something that is generic in nature.

Paying $3k U.S is way too much for a standalone ECU for less money you can get a Motec... but that is for another topic not this one this is about the RPW header and how well it works and were you will find the gains, and from someone who has one on there car now I say that the best choice out there is the larger diameter header for a 5spd manual.

again sorry for long rant but I am like that when I am passionate about a product that works and gives results

I am not sure if RPW will be making one to fit with a down pipe (the type that deletes the cat convertor) but certainly the smaller diameter headers tha RPW have made and the type that PR MIvec is testing is the one that is best suited for automatics

THe RPW Package as always is a header and down pipe as a complete package.
The kit can then be supplied in three options - with cat, with cat bypass or without either dependig upon what option you want.

I dont think he'll hit 250 n/a, but he claims to have hit 215 prior to having the header, and I do believe that. Im just curious to see what the end result is and im sure he'll have the papers to prove either way.

I think if any of us can break 250 n/a PR will be the first. It may or may not happen here, but I am sure he will get there.
