I've seen a couple set's of these installed and I've never seen a power
loss,.......just improvement...
once a +1 mpg gain.......and a nice mid-range pull improvement on both
installs!!!!!!
I've installed headers before on stock engines and have never seen a
downside to them.
My Charger had a mild 318 when I first built it and I added them to it ,
best money spent on that car!
Same with the 2.5 Magnum in my '96 Dak, it really made that Dak fly!!
