I know I am a little late here but I am the one who had the RPW header dyno'd. (sorry been on the road) Anyway anyone can buy the product they feel is best but I am happy that I bought the RPW header.

the dyno is in my registry and the guy who dyno'd the car was very impressed as the car pulls all the way to Fuel cut off. It makes power all the way up to 6500 rpm but I am not sure how much of this is usable.

I am sure they all make gains over stock and anyone should be pleased with that. As for me I am waiting to get some more work done to the car before I go back to see if there are significant gains from all bolt-ons working together. In some of the other posts about headers most guys already had intakes and other stuff to go along with the header. We need to get two similar cars on a dyno to really prove what's best and then differences could still come down to maintenance issues, etc.

My vote is for the RPW anyway.

Peace
WADAD

No you cannot use our turbo kit with our headers because we locate the turbo underneath the turbo manifold for smoother air flow and i personally don't like the idea of air running upwards to run a turbo. Places more work on the motor as well as our system hides a hot turbo from prying hands, makes a nice neat conversion and we designed the system using mitsuishi and evo principles.

Let me clarify though we are not saying there is anything wrong with other brands - we obviously in australia have our own way of thinking and lets leave that there.

Um... no its not. According to your registry you only have some speakers and an alarm. Lets see the sheet of proof.

Maybe a lil more with headers , downpipe , cat delete pipe and catback. I would say around 15-17 hp increase
