PPE Engineering LongTube Headers
#271
Dssyline, is PPE having a non-stepped header made for you? I decided to ask them if they'd done any more testing on a DE and they haven't. But I was told a non-stepped header was being made up for testing to see if it would make a difference on a DE. Even on the HR there is a slight dip at 3500rpm. I have a feeling aggressive cams will pair well with these headers.
I upgraded my exhaust to 2.5in piping up from the 2.36in before now using a G37 factory option muffler (IPL muffler).
Plan to go to RT tuning next week for a couple of pulls to see if my exhaust change made a difference before the non stepped headers arrive.
The reason I changed my exhaust is the test SG did with their headers on pg 5.

My dyno looks similar to the 1st one with the inefficent 2.5in dual exhaust and coast fab headers.

dsskyline, good luck on that exhaust change. wishing the best for you. What Y pipe did you go for? One funny fact i just realized is that everyone (SGM's test car, gabe3d, prgdriver, kacz07, 512_z) with SGM or PPE on the DE/HR are running MD's XYZ including you now, what a coincidence.
Also every exhaust was 2.5 or higher I'm hoping sasha was correct that 2.5 dual would of made more with a tuned x-pipe.
The dyno 512z did was with the stock HR pipe he had very little lowend loss compared to me.
I can handle a 3-5hp/tq loss down low not 15-20hp/tq.

Nice exhaust. Any reason why you stuck with using cats? Smog test?
A turn of events may be coming my way, for the better, but may delay my install of the headers since I want to do everything at once. By this weekend I may secure myself a spare set of heads. If I get them I'm gonna completely rebuild them with over sized valves + port work. The goal will be to try to break through the 300whp mark!
