As long as your aftermarket exhaust bolts to the stock headers, it will work.

Ahem...... I have three children, that I know of!

However, my performance reference was an analogy! I was in the public restroom last night at my usual lower urinal when I felt a sharp pain. Almost like pouring alcohol on a open wound. It turns out, the maintenance people just put in a fresh deodorant block (you know the blue colored looking large mint) and I, struggling to not hit the ground, touched the block with my organ. OUCH.......... that stung!


P.S. I'm okay! Had my wife rub a little aloe on it!

From your description below, it can only be interpreted in two ways:
1) Your legs are too short.
2) You're using an adult size toilet instead of the lower one for kid.

Sorry, can't think of other ways.

PS> thanks for the laugh

So for what is essentially the same price as a set of ceramic coated headers from EVO you guys are selling STOCK headers (that we supply) that you cut the end off and weld on a car plus a cat delete pipe? And you guys are EXCITED about that? Am I the only one offended by the price here? Can someone explain why this should command the same $$ as a full set of headers? Am I wrong?

Of course you are entitled to your opinion. Not everyone wants to pay for a properly R&D'd product. We offer a modified stock cat, header and race pipe that has been tested rigorously. The price of the jigs, flanges, material and months of work/tests is what the price reflects. Sure, you can get a set of headers at a cheaper price. In fact, we have a set here that has not been sold, although we have tried. They are ceramic coated and anyone can come pick them up for $3k.

Eloy looks like a good product. Looking forward to the dyno results. Btw, the crimps in the stock headers must be for a reason. I mean the M department did not do that to purposely make the headers have less power. They did it either for the purpose of maximizing EGV or fitament or another purpose I am not aware of. Bottom line is that they are equal length and as such they want to manage flow to maximize for the headers being equal length. What is your call on this Eloy?
