Default Dynatech Supermaxx headers

I was on their website and it said they give an increase of 34-40 hp and I was wondering does anyone have these?
Have they been dynoed by anyone?
The LG's claim on their website to have an increase of 25-35+ so I'm wondering are these Supermaxx headers suppose to be the s_it?

They are similar to the LGs but heavier.

However I seem to remember reading a post on the other forum about a guy that only got like 5hp on his car after adding these.

Human error, weather variation and many other factors fudge these dyno numbers. So I would not put too much stock in one dyno session.

After installing the dynatechs on my car I can now throttle steer in 1st, (I live at 6200ft) whereas before I could not. It also activates the TCS on part throttle 1-2 shifts. The car is faster. How much more HP I got I don't care.
The headers will also enhance my head cam install when I get to it later this year, so I think they were worth it.
For my money the dynatechs are the best value out there.
