numbers on Borla or Nismo headers ?
Has anyone seen any claimed numbers on either the Borla or Nismo headers? Not looking for a debate, just any numbers claimed by the mfr.

i saw the nismo headers today when i went to performance nissan in duarte. they had a chart there and if i remeber right, they say* 14hp gain. ask jeff355, he'll hook you up with aa set of nismo.
i dunno bout borla, although the're roughly 560$ i think, about half of nismo at 1100 or somehting...

Daytona, thanks.
I just found this on a site selling the Borla headers:
Borla's high quality is known thru out racing. They are now offering T-304 STAINLESS STEEL Headers for your 350Z. These will help open up the exhaust and create more power through out the RPM band. Some have seen as much as a 27-rwhp gain from the headers alone. Matched with Borla's new cat-back exhaust system will make your 350Z perform as well as it looks. Borla backs all of its products with its 1 million mile warrantee against defect. So you can feel confident in the purchase of this high quality header kit.
hmmm

That's complete horse shyeet. Someone posted a while back that they talked to a tech at borla and he said the headers wouldn't do too much for power.
But I mean if some people have seen 27, the borla corrected whp should be about 10-13, which is damn good for $560.
Let me know what you decide. Maybe we can start a group buy or something.

What's the cheapest price anyone has found on the borla headers? Cheapest I've found is Summit Racing at $595. Anybody got them cheaper? Is $560 a quote from somewhere?

I guess I'll be the guinea pig. Just ordered the Borla's from Coz- will hopefully be here Friday so I can get them installed this weekend. I'll try and get on the dyno on Monday or Tuesday.
Import- coming down to SD on Thursday so you can check them out first hand.

I got an email from the borla techs a while back and the results were 10.7 whp and 11.5 tq i think. Ive got it posted elsewhere but i dont remember exactly what it was. Its about what you would expect form a set of headers to do on our car. Might be worthwhile if youve done some other basic boltons since they arent very expensive.

I was in no way expecting 27hp from headers. I'd be extemely happy w/ a 10-12 hp gain. I guess we'll know soon enough.

27 hp is very unlikely. Unlikely enough for me to raise the BS flag.

That's why I said I'm NOT expecting 27 hp gain- If you want to call BS on that claim then your beef is with Borla and not me. Like I said, I'll be the guinea pig and we'll see what happens.

- I'm just curious to see if there are any gains at all. For $550 I figured I'd test it out and share the results. I'll just Ebay the headers if they don't show any gains.BTW- welcome to the boards morepower.
