Kooks headers dyno results
After a lot of testing we picked up 22HP and 22TQ. We used the 1 3/4" headers and high flow cats. Every thing else is stock. On the track we picked up 4 tenths and 6 MPH. They make more power rite off idle and all the way to the rev limiter. This is power you can really feel. The dyno graph will be posted tomorrow.

That being said, there are many people in CA with headers on their vettes. Don't know how they get around the smog inspections. I understand new cars don't have to be inspected for 4 years. There may be a lot of folks in for a surprise come their first smog inspection.

Callaway Cars has headers for the C6 that leave the cats in the factory location and deliver comparable results

The Headers were on the CCC6 displayed at the Mid America Fun-Fest last month and through talking with them, they explained the gains.
here is some more info on that particular C6

I personally prefer to see the real world results instead of dyno racing, are you a Supra owner by any chance?
