I installed my Hedman Header in 30 minutes and it wasn't too bad once the air cleaner was removed there was quite a bit of room, hardest part is removing the O2 sensor if its stuck Then just use a bigger wrench!

My Hedman header pretty much was a shorty header so it bolted up to the same location that the stock manifold did and I didn't have to do any mods to it. It gave me some nice high end power but I plan on selling it cuz I'm putting a turbo on soon which means the header will have served its purpose.

Let me know if you want it

As for sound it was alot more crisp sounding and it really sings during a race, its a bit louder butnot much, where your going to gain extremevolume is by removing your catalitic converter or punching it out so its got better flow and then adding a straight pipe muffler like a Glass pack or other muffler design.

None of them dyno'ed it. I have relentlessly over baselines with the Gtech and there was consistant Gains of 5hp on average, I'll take the Gtech over their seat of the pants *** dyno any day. I got my baseline after 20 pulls with my stock SOHC and with the DOHC pcm I got consistantly 5hp weather I was testing at night or day or mid afternoon it didn't matter 5 hp like clock work after installing it, it is however mostly gained after 4500 Rpm, You really notice this when you still can feel the car pulling well past 5500 where it used to lose steam toward the red line, where as now it holds steady up to the Rev Limiter.

People can say what they want about the Gtech but it isProfessional proven and I have acurate information to set the Gtech up such as car weight and many baseline tests to prove my case.
