That all turned out to be bull****, he makes his stuff in house, he has a mandrel bender in Trenton that does his work. It's all American made, that rumor started at GHL.
I was all set to trade my car in, returned it to stock, sold my aftermarket stuff(incld fabs), then the deal soured. Now I wish I had my fabspeed stuff back
Maybe somebody will hook me up with a set of maxflows?

i have three questions for you.
are you actually using a dyno or are you using a gtech or similar unit to measure your HP?
two, do you have a 3.4 or 3.6 liter C2?
is the 56HP max HP or peak HP at redline?
if you are in fact getting 47.5 rear wheel HP from headers alone, i will take my headers off today, buy a set of yours, and turn mine into a hookah bong

have any other members (not sponsors) done any independent dyno tests on headers recently?
if i'm not mistaken, the suncoast headers are now being sold at EVO under their name. although you can still buy them from suncoast. the quality is good and the fit was perfect. they bolted right up.

probably a good thing they're so heavy with you doing pull-ups off the bottom of your customer's cars like that

Hanging from headers is way better than dynos

I just installed a set of the INOX Headers from Orton Performance. They bolted up easily, sealed great and there was a noticable difference in the zip to redline. The car feels both more powerful and it definitely revs quicker which I love! The sound is just a bit louder, especially through the midrange and at full throttle, but it's not annoying. The bang for the buck was awesome.

I have. Big gains from the suncoast headers. Do a search with my name and suncoast. I posted the charts.

I cant seem to find your post. Do you think there will be any gains on a N/A 3.4?

I don't mean to rain on any body's parade but Dyno'ing the car before and after is the ONLY way to really know if the MOD improved performance. I think when people say it FEELS faster is because it SOUNDS faster. And that FEELING may be all you need to justify the price of the MOD.
I have to have scientific verifiable proof. Not marketing mombo jumbo.
