Default American Racing headers

I installed a set of these on a 99 A4. this was the nicest set of headers that I have installed on A C5. Great fit, excellent quality, Great sound, noticeable S.O.T.P. increase.

I didn't get a chance to get a before and after dyno pull.

I look forward to installing more of these

Congrats on your new headers from American Racing Headers the Vette Doctors and the crew at American Racing Headers have hit a home run with these headers. I agree with you 100% they are easy to install and sound great!!!!!!!!!!

No better header
Nice to see people starting to experience for themselves how good these systems really are.

Got mine in February. So far so good!! The American Racing headers, Corsa muffs with Blackwing/Granatelli, along with a Vette Doctors dyno-tune made quite a difference to my otherwise stock 04 6 speed coupe. Mabye I should go for heads, cam? H'mm..... Happy Vetting!!!

Sounds encouraging.

Are extension wires needed for the front O2 sensors? If so, where did you get them?

Thanks.

I put mine on a week ago and love them. Sent Carmen my computer for a mailorder tune. Between the new headers and the tune, it made a world of difference,its like driving a completely different car. The guys at vette doctors are great to work with. You cant go wrong doing business with them.
