Default RK Sport headers

How much HP can I expect from them? The car has Corsa Indys and a Blackwing on the other end. :cheers:

If your car was set up for the environazis of Kalifornia it probably has 4 cats. Installing long tube headers will eliminate the pup cats and probably net you 10-15 RWHP. :chevy

I have TPIS headers that look very similar to the RK Sport ones (maybe they're even the same). My mods are similar to what you will have. I measured 339 HP at the rear wheels on my car. Its running a little lean, so I think a few more horse could be found with some computer tuning.

15-20 maybe more. After you get the long tubes you may want a new cam also.
