You're saying stock manifolds make the same power as ARH mid lengths?

I was thinking the same... However his baseline numbers were unusually low too. Nice gains either way

I wouldn't think so. The stock manifolds look like they flow pretty well, but the connection from the manifold collector to the cat looks restrictive.

The ARH short headers look smooth and continuous like they would flow very well and produce some torque.

I agree, the ARH mids have like 23" primaries they're not exactly short anyway. I've seen Dyno results that look good for mids on a stock head stock cam car.

I just wanted to make sure I understood his statement before I disagreed with it lol

I am talking about what people call shorty headers. I wouldn't pay for them for the diff's in hp . Robert

Can you give an example of someone who makes such a header for C7's?

No but from the looks of the shorter header just don't see the cost of it to gain from it. Yes I would say it will do better than the factory exhaust due to like the one guy has said from after the bolt up and angel of the exhaust pipe.

But the diff in these to the long tube headers. Just don't see it at all who knows on these lt1 motors. Diff set up with the problems from the blocks that a lot of guy have had also.

So you don't see a reason to buy something that doesn't exist.

I understand now lol

Man buy what ever you want for your car then you can tell us all what it has done & make. I was just making a statement here from all past work on the c5. Then old stuff with a carb on it also.

Are do you post just to post and add number of post.

If when you open the box you don't think the TSP product is every bit as good box them right back up and send them back.

I have no doubt in my mind you'll love the headers & love saving $500+. We've sold over 300 sets already and had lots & lots of super happy customers, I have no doubt you'll love them as well...

That's a great price for longtubes. Do you have any dyno sheets comparing TSP to LG pro?

BER carries ARH, TSP, OBX, LG, SW, Kooks and OBX

Our prices on ARH, OBX and OBX will not be beat

I would also be willing to do a group purchase on ANY brand. 5 sets of any brand gets at least 10% discount and free shipping

The absolute value of a dyno number isn't really important, its the difference before and after a mod that matters. Not all dyno's read the same, that same car could make 440 on a different dyno.

The usefulness of a dyno comes from making a baseline pull, modifying the car, and then making another pull under similar temperature conditions. That will accurately tell you the increase in power, just saying 440 whp doesn't mean much.
