that's what we're trying to figure out but it hasn't moved beyond speculation.

I've lost what feels low end torque. But gains are after 4000 rpm. it seems to flow and run smoother at higher RPM.

In my ole Datsun getting a header really made the difference. The tuning in these newer cars is so refined as it is that it's hard to tell the difference unless you take it out on the track.

Over all it does feel smoother, but I'm sure I'm losing some low end torque.
For street driving, I miss it.

Chino told me the megan header was flawed, so I have been avoiding it. Besides, I desperately need to drop my Yaris.

Chino, as well as I got the prototype header. Yes there were flaws in the prototype. A few months later Mark (sf180th) bought a Megan header and there was a deffinate quality improvment, welds were smoother on the inside, everthing bolted up nicer, and it came with slightly different hardware... All and all newer piece is better
