You definitely notice the additional lag and the grunt kicks in about 700rpm further up the rev range (the headers add about 200rpm of lag).

There is definitely more torque and it pulls all the way to redline (The engine wants to rev straight to 7000rpm).

Most of the additional power comes in after 5000rpm where it really gets up and goes.

The headers make the engine sound very smooth, refined and very strong on boost (a bit drony off boost).

I do miss the low end grunt but the torquier mid range and top end definitely makes up for it. :D

Thanks Jackson

I would definitely love to go for a spin in your Lib.

It wouldn't be too far behind the performance of Mick's 2 door sti which is mind blowingly impressive (i really gotta get me one of them :lol: ).
