Even my 18g seemed to not gain any spool time with the equal length but like stan said mid-top end power is no joke. Love it. Below 3k rpm shes tame and then all of a sudden turns into jack the ripper and wants to rip your head off.

Take it with a grain of salt as most of those are results advertised by the company making them.

Since I love pimping out info of my no-longer-existing car so much lol, here is what the EL header did for my car:

Mine looked very similar. 10 or so hp and torque gained but the curve pushed father up the rpm scale.

I'm happy with the header,well worth it.i now have to get a big maf intake,since the header maxed out my maf on the topend so I had to take some boost out. Don't go by the prices posted on vendors website usually they will cut you a better deal if you tell them your on the forums and shopping prices.the Dom 1.5 now spools quicker and picked up close to 50 maf g,s on the ramp up

This curve alone convinced me to go ELH. Plus, I am looking forward to get rid of the excessive Boxer rumble and highway drone my 3" TBE H&S puts out, lack of rear bench for weight savings does not help either.

Weather permitting, finishing ELH sandblasting/ceramic coating hopefully this week.
