I apologize for the delay in sending out units. I just called the electropolisher and they promise 10 units by the end of the week. We'll ship the first ten out on a first come first serve basis, (ie: in the order of which the orders were placed). After that, we'll just keep grabbing whatever is done at the electropolishers...

Again, everyone's been more than patient with this sale... It helps immensely when everyone cooperates.

No-one has ever provided a before-after dyno with this header. People have been asking for years.

this is epic..

lets claim HUGE NUMBERS... then never back them up with stone cold proof. this is why i decided to shy away from jbp products.. not to **** block your sale or anything... im just simply asking for a dyno sheet.. i can claim my car has 400 hp all day long but unless i have a dyno sheet that proves it. im just that guy claiming 400 hp. with no evidence to prove it

Same reason I haven't jumped in to buy one of these. I'd like to, but I could find much cheaper alternatives unless this thing really produces like they say.

no kidding there are plenty of long tube headers out there for are cars that do the same thing if not better. you cant tell me. that the mess of tubes arent restrictive.. for every bend there is more restriction..

sense day one.. when the placed it on there website i asked for a dyno sheet. yet nothing has been provided...

i say there is no proof

I'm not looking for huge numbers or anything, I wanna see how the powerband is changed, before-after style, with just the header. From what I know, it should provide a SOLID gain in the lower-mid rpm band, I'm curious as to how much and where. Thats why I ask for dyno results. Peak numbers are bullshit, I could care less. I worry about power under the curve.

I am sure one of the 200 people that bought one of these will post up dyno results. I will be doing a few pulls, but mine will also include a DP, Corsa Touring, Bigger TB and new tuning. So unfortunately it won't give a clear outline of what the header did.

Oh ok, I thought they sold them all.

Either way, there should be a bunch of people posting up results once they get them installed!!
