wow those look awesome..there's no bends in the pipes really at all. I already regret what I bought haha...We'll see by the dyno tomorow...although I've read that it takes time for most of the hp gains to become evident..ecu relearning etc..
Someone should comment on my numbers though..233 hp seems low to me from what I have read for intake exhaust and spacer..correct me if I am wrong.

........ i was soo sad with my gain untill a lot of guys told me that to get the most of my mod`s i must Tune or Reflush my ECU (what ever the method was : e-manage , Orsis ....etc) so don`t judge your gain now untill you finish the whole process
All the Best

If your car is a the non-revup like 03 and 04 than its not. I think stock was 235whp your right there.
I have plenum spacer, test pipes, 3" top speed exhaust, pulleys, JWT intake, advanced timing 2 degrees thru the Nissan consult.. on an 03 and made 263whp and dont remember the torque.. Its been about 6 months or so.
And TopSpeed Y pipe. So the only thing I didnt have was headers.

After the headers and test pipes would I benefit from a reflash? The shop I go to says this isn't really important unless you are Forced Induction....

ya it just seems with Intake, Plenum Spacer, and Cat back, I should have dyno'd more than 233 because thats what people generally dyno stock. And you dyno'd a whole 30 hp more than me with the only difference being advanced timing and hfc's.

Every car is different so this might not be the case for you but I would recommend a tune anyway. I've had UTEC and Osiris, I'd give the thumb up to the Osiris reflash anyday over the UTEC.

Yea JT over Performance Factory was trying to get the UTEC to work with my ECU but he said that my ecu was super strong and kept kicking out the map from the UTEC.. Twins you probably will need a tune. Osiris or Cobb.

I have an '05 (same motor as your 03) and did the headers + high flow cats done at the same time. At that point I already had a crawford plenum and a greddy exhaust. My car ran like crap after the headers + HFC's, it ran WORSE after those last two mods. I got it tuned by a local shop and it picked up 20rwhp, ran A LOT better after the tune.

Ahh sorry guys! I'm getting a ride at 5:30 to get my car. Apparently it took them longer than they though to do the headers because of other cars they had to work on. But I will be reporting back tonight don't worry. Sorry to those that were expecting me to be on time lol
Only thing is I don't have a scanner so I'm not sure how I am going to post them. The best thing I can think of is to just report the numbers and describe the graph unless someone else has any better ideas. My car's gonna be soo freakin loud lol
Another thing..The guy doing my exhaust measured my pipes from the borla exhaust and they are 2.25 inches....That seems really small is this normal for borla?

OMG! I MADE AMAZING GAINS!
THroughout the entire powerband! My best baseline run was 232.1 and 217.xx torque.....The best afterwards run was 249.23 hp and 232.91 torque.
Thats 17hp gain and 16 torque....SO YOU CAN"T HATE ON CHEAP PARTS!
I also think that I will gain more as the ecu gets use to the parts...
On a side note sorry for the cell poicture of the dyno. I don't have a scanner. The exhaust sounds great too. And also it's much more powerful...It's addicting to get on it and hear the exhaust rip. I can't even imagine what the HR guys with 300 hp feel like...kinda depressing actually..but I will be getting 100 shot of nitrous : )
How much would a tune help me..249 still seems low for intake, spacer, catback,test pipes, and headers.....
(The top numbers on the dyno sheet if you look close was my worst baseline run...second run..I forgot to put the better of the two baselines up)
