I made more with tuning. That was before a tune with the longtubes. After I think I made around 240. So yea it picked up more power. Those sheets are the best ones i have. The other copies I have seem to be corrupted and won't open. But look how much it smoothed out the topend power.

This Z has ebay longtube headers with invidia exhaust. Of course it sounds a lot better in person. Ill make an exhaust vid soon with mine.

I don't think it really changed the sound of the car. Not that I could tell. Maybe made it quiter. I have fast intentions exhaust. Put it on at the same time.

One day i might switch out to shorty headers just for the fact that i miss my resonated TP. My bassani sounded better with them lol. Plus ill rather have legit name headers cuz im a brand *****

I had them as well.. i give them an A+ for a rating

Listen to Rocks.. Use the OEM gasteks for the headers to engine.. and also make sure you use threadlock and torque all of them to spec ...( as many as you can) i believe it was 35ft lbs? i dont' remember..

Me and JPE22 installed them pretty easy. You have to remove the intake and both hard cooling lines, along with a bunch of hoses and wires. Other than that jack up the car and slide them out.

What was the hardest part? i heard most people drop the motor due to how much of a PITA it is

Hardest part is taking off all the coolant lines.. they are a PITA..
