It is really hard to say how much is from the headers, themselves, since I had the headers, hi-flow cats, and Borla installed at the same time. But there is clearly more power throughout the power band. And the sound is sweet!
Prior to the install, I had a Popcharger and Kinetix v4 plenum only. It felt like I'd lost some low-end torque, but it is back now with a vengence.
They also look sweet installed...but you have to peek through the rest of the stuff in the engine bay.
I'd like to think at least part of the gains are from the headers, since Turbo mag did a dyno test with them recently and showed the largest gains around 3800 rpm (9 hp/ 12.5 tq). Peak gain was only 1 hp/ 5 tq. I'm thinking the headers are more than a sugar pill.

DC Headers Install
Got my DC headers installed at StreetImage yesterday. Eric & Adam worked on it for 6 hrs. straight. These team are perfectionist & very careful w/ the car. I know as I watched the whole install. With a brand new Z, I wouldn't trust this install w/ someone inexperienced at all. They knew the step by step process, no guessing. Definitely knowledge that can only be gained from extensive experence w/ the Z. They test drove, heard some initial rattling, brought it up the lift & made some final adjustments. Headers complemented the Injen exhaust very well. Did not make the sound louder, just a deeper growl & no rasp at all. No, I was not paid to say this. Just a VERY satisfied customer. Can't wait to add Hi-flow CATS!!! Pic's of the install below.
