Dispite some comments before about having to choose between power and economy, headers such as ph4480's will improve both. Unless you drive your car like your playing a musical instrument of course..

Yep they are mid-high end power you feel it really hit at about 3000 then it justs keeps pulling hard all the way to redline

Well I'm having a set of ph4480's installed this morning. My cars stock except for a 2 1/2 zaust so I'll let you know how much I power it gained from stock.
As a few people have said if you want extractors you really need a cam to get the full effect of it... Nath |

Trust me you will feel a difference, when i first booted it with them, i slowly took off then stomped it and it revved up so much quicker and you could feel it aswell

Its a bloody big difference.... when i left the shop with them fitted... a corner i could put full throttle through usually just stepped out sideways as soon as i stabbed the throttle.. revs way quicker. i run 4.11's prob helps feel the increase more.

Anyways got the extractors this morning. The cars got a bit more pull but f**k me dead my car sounds like s**t now! Its dead quiet. I had a freakin beautiful exhaust note like non other but nows its been cut in half and sounds like a crapolo milo tin exhaust...Am I meant to give it time to bed in?? Its really disappointing....the powers great though

must be the combo of mufflers or not having mufflers, mine sounded heaps better when i put my Paci comps on. I got 2.5" mandrel with 1 straight through muffler in the middle and a 18" hotdog on the end

mine sounded REALLY f**k good when i got it fitted but it was droney... since it has worn in it seems far less droney and theres more of a lumpey sound to go with the deep growl.
Dont run a resinator just 1 straight through muffler near the back and thats it and the cat.

I'm running two mufflers as far as I'm aware. A larger size mid way and then a smaller at the rear. My car used to be F**k loud and very deep!!! but now its a tinny sound. Its slowly wearing in though...I think so anyways.
The cam should help out hopefully...lol I'll have to experiment with it anyways... Nath |

yeah man you only need the 1 muffler
will help bigtime. You will probably kick yourself once its off for not getting it off earlier.
