Default XSPower Longtube headers feedback

Is anyone using the XSPower Longtube headers? I am looking for some info on quality, fit and the amount of additional hp they produce. How long have you had them?

Thanks

I've had my XSPower headers for a few months now. Installation was simple enough with the instructions provided. Helps to have a lift. Quality is excellent and I've had no heat issues from the headers. I got the hi flow cats as well. I still need to get a tune to maximize performance but they sure increased the seat of the pants feel and sounds great with z06 catback.

PS Great customer service from vendor SUPERMAN

I did the search you suggested and found many satisfied customers. I could not find any before and after hp/tq date.
I noted that several people purchased their headers from you on sale...do you plan to have any Christmas sales?

Thanks

Generally most see between 15-30 rwhp and 20-40 rwtq gains which are not inflated, but realistic customer gains! Also, many see much larger gains at lower RPMs. For example at 4500 rpms, some have seen gains near 50 !

Thanks!

My car was back on the dyno recently. I've had the headers on for quite some time now, maybe the first run of them that Jon sold on here. I did a bunch of research on his spec's and all the other big names, I went with his...

Old 319. 7hp and 321.8

New 337.7hp and 347.9 tq

That's +18hp and +26tq.

My car is a 99 FRC. The only changes between those numbers were the headers/ high flow cats and a LS6 manifold.

Totals mods (excluding suspension)..haltech CAI, these headers w/ high flow cats, Borla stingers, LS6 manifold, 160 thermostat

It still has the Ls1 injectors, and has yet to be tuned.
