Thanks and no, didn't hook up the car to a charger, the Cobb is pretty sweet and didn't take that long.

As long as you've been driving the car recently and the battery's been recharged, the Cobb should install fine. The longest part is the install, changing maps and such is really quick...

I was around for the installation and dyno testing of the headers and can assure the skeptics that there was no funny business and no intentional manipulation of the dyno results which were posted. Hanging around the shop it's clear Rick is a busy guy doing great work so to imagine him spending his time messing with the dyno just to start a flame war on RL is silly.

The DMS headers look amazingly well constructed, sound ridiculous (no drone!), and show power gains that are at least competitive with other catless headers. On my car the torque curve is actually pretty close to the DMS posted dynos below 5500rpm but we didn't match their peak numbers. That said, we also did not replicate the fan set-up and heat shielding that DMS showed in their dyno pics. So, different dynos, different cooling set-ups, different cars, and, no surprise, different results. Given all the transparency and insights they've provided, it seems unlikely that DMS would present anything to the community if they didn't see those results on their own dyno and stand behind them.

On another note, just loading the Cobb stage 0 to the car with headers showed a 5hp peak gain then moving to stage 2 added another 5hp peak before things started getting hot and the car started pulling timing. Tune definitely seems worth it with headers.

I can't wait till someone dynos a Deman x51 4.0 with DMS headers.... the trolls will really be stumped then

Great post Sir. Thanks for the tune update as well. Looking forward to installing mine.

So here is my final review about these dundon headers:

- First of all, these headers are beautiful.... they look so good that I just want to hang them on my wall. A quality product! Comes packaged nicely with a set of K&N filters.

- Install by the shop was smooth like a breeze, no fitment issues at all. Took around 2 hours to install

- Initial startup: car sounds stock!

- Initial drive: Under 3k RPM the car sounds completely stock. Over 3k you could hear something angry lurking waiting to be unleashed, and all the way to redline is described as INSANE, my ears are bleeding!!

- Dyno procedure: I was instructed by jamie to follow their dyno steps. Fans at inlets, blocking off radiator heat, monitoring IATs and do a couple of runs.
My stock run showed a 344whp baseline with a respectful IAT.
After that I drove the car for another 100km and came back 3 days later for a post headers dyno.
The post dyno read around 374whp, which showed a massive 30-32whp gain around 5000rpm and a massive 37whp gain around 7500rpm. IMPRESSIVE on a N/A car.
The car is otherwise on stock tune with just BMC filters and 98 octane fuel.

Car runs smooth with no CEL or any warnings. The sound is exotic! Has a nice and loud bark and the downshifts are just plain brutal.

I would like to thank Jamie from DMS for his constant support and for a quality product from DMS.

Enjoy the pics & Vids.

That is a seriously impressive result across the rev range.

Very nice results. Interested in seeing the other headers dynoed the same way to see if there is any difference.

Where is the pre/post dyno sheet? Is this tuned for 98 octane?

You obviously dont read my posts properly. The dyno sheet is attached also this is on stock tune. As written above.

98 RON = 93 US (R+M)/2

My bad, forgot to say that 98 octane in this part of the world = 93 USA fuel.

So yes, 93 octane on stock tune!

Stay tuned.
Have you tested these yet Rick?

We have a CS and are looking in to fitting these.
