Headers net power without catback/xpipe?
Hey Guys,
Just curious, I purchased this with longtube headers and a stock xpipe/catback.
I installed a flowmaster catback (but no xpipe) and am now considering taking the flowmaster off b/c it's too loud for me.
Curious though, people state a good set of headers and a tune should net high 20 low 30 whp... Is that still realistic with a stock xpipe and catback?

Im really looking forward to the new Pfadt headers and mid pipe set up... the use of the band clamps is going to make this system an easy install in the driveway!
I have no idea what to expect on a bone stock LS3 though... Not sure if the price is worth the gains without cams and other supporting mods. I would like to do more HP mods but have decided to make the Pfadt coil over kit the first mod... So many mods and so much money to spend... Why didnt i just get into trading cards or comics for a hobby? LMAO
SPEED SAFE, NICK

Band clamps and slip fit's on headers ESP at the collector and forward is leaks waiting to happen. Go with KooK's or ARH!

I agree on the slip fits... I have never liked them and they do in fact "Slip"... Pun intended.
I have been looking at the ARH headers... But Pfadt currently has my attention now... Construction form and function... They are beautiful!

My ARH were perfect fit and ball/socket joints dont leak.
