I actually talked to the PPE guys yesterday at SEMA, they were happy to chat with someone who owned a set.
They do remember building the only set of stepped DE headers. Really thinking about adding a reducer for now, till i get the new happy motor built. Just want to play with what i have for now. Next week i should finally get some (street) tuning done, then its time to find a local dyno day just to see what its got.

Thank you,
That is very impressive. You don't have to bother with posting another chart, but what RPM was the H.P peak? Also this may sound stupid but what is CAI?
Thanks

Well they're in. That was a fun lil project lol. I only took it down the street but the midrange difference is easy to feel right away. I swear its quieter at idle. I already had a raspy setup and this actually brought it down a bit, the drone went down also. Wierd, but my setup only has 1 muffler and no resonators.
I have a few loose ends to finish, random stuff like the rear crank sensor harness wants to lay on top of the header. Then I can give a full review. Also I didn't have the issue with needing 2 gaskets for the passenger header -> Y-pipe. The Passenger header did touch the underbody heat shield but once I tightened it to the rest of the exhaust I gainged some clearance.
Edit: Also I have some tuning to do. The fuel compensations and A/F is all over the place at idle.

Low mileage, minor body damage, needs tires.

Before the end of the year, I hope to do 12.4's in the 1/4 mile. I have not found mods that can help me go lower, that's why I have an interest in these headers. Unfortunately I haven't seen evidence of them helping an HR Z. If I missed anything, or if someone has something to show, please show me. It's stupid for me to invest money & time into something that may not help or even make it worst. I don't have many mods. If a mod(s) can be recomended, I would greatly appreciate it. Money is no problem. Because if I do 12.4's, you know I'll want 12.3's next

Too many posts to read but I saw one a few posts back. It did not satisfy me. Couldn't see the RPM, & the peak H.P. went up quickly & dropped quickly.

I saw that too, hoping OP will post a scanned version so we can see the whole graph. Headers are the last part of my build, hoping these PPE's will be as good as they seem to be
