Bad-Mab Header review
Installed my badmab header the other day @ SMG motoring.
Very pleased with price, as you get a header, both gaskets and also studs to mount the header.
I ordered this as I had put a hole in my GMPP manifold
Shipping was quick and it was well packed.
picture pre install
Only issue I had with this was the bolts provided were the wrong thread pattern, no big deal as I just reused my stockers.
After installing the exhaust note was noticeably more throaty. Very nice sounding.
After throwing on the dyno and with a little tuning and timing we gained 11hp and 11tq at the wheels
All in all id rate this a 9/10 only because the bolts were different thread otherwise it would get a 10/10 from me.
Price was right, quality product, shipped fast and well packed.
Hope this helps a potential buyer
and thanks again Brad

ive had mine for almost a year now and iv had no issues. i think mine was slightly warped cause i have a small tiny little leak u can kinda hear if u listen for it but its only when the car is warmin up and goes away when the header heats up. id give it a 8/10 but ya i noticed a little top end gain for sure and she is louder but then again i have this header zzp 3inch downpipe with a gutted cat and 2.5 pipe to a borla muffler. i really need a resonator as my neighbors hate me and sometimes i hat it when i have a bad headache and have to drive.
