Not much more power mate, possibly 5ish BHP but WOW the sound will be awesome That's the first mod we'll be having to oursNice one flower

In theory it will give a few more ponies. I guess a trip to the dyno will give you the answer.

much louder

Good news mate, finally getting them on. Your motor already sounds nice, but it's gonna sound even better with the headers. They give it that more growly sound.

[Tempy]

Is it just the VXR8 where you don't get much extra power? I definitely noticed the extra power on my Ro after having the headers and cats etc done.

[007 VXR]

noticed it on my ro .. but think r8 does not see much power gain
but lots of noise

[gsd2000]

I think the vxr8 already has a 2.5 inch exhaust so sticking a different 2.5 inch exhaust wont add a huge amount of power, but they do sound amazing

There's more power and then there's more peak power. Mel gained less peak power than she'd hoped for.

My LS2 Monaro did 335HP at SRR. Seemed ok to me.

My LS3 VXR did 350HP with stock exhaust. I'm not sure I've seen headers etc on a VXR8 hit the dyno.

What did roger ute pre cam produce on srr, has he run it without a cam. The ls3's seem to produce alot with just a tune.

339.5HP back in April.

[gsd2000]

Was rogers stock in april or did he have headers?

[Magic919]

I think by April he had headers, cats and intake fitted.

I think Phil's car had them, but that's gone now.
