Wonder if the IPD intake with this exhaust setup would be the ideal combo?

This would be a great idea! Can we make it happen before winter settles in?

Hello Everyone,

For GT4 owners interested in a tour of our facility with a demonstration of our products, we would be happy to put together this event and are currently working with our local PCA chapter to make this happen. We are currently looking for a GT4 to be the demonstration vehicle at the event, so please PM me if you would be interested

just spoke to John.. what a nice and knowledgeable guy. pre-sold some sport headers to me without even trying..

actually.. this graph at 3600rpm spot sold them to me... look at what these headers do to the torque dip!!!!! 39 ft-lb of torque increase and 27hp!!!! in an NA engine that is simply incredible... and it's right where we need it for road driving.. not way up in the 6-7krpm, but in the realistic part of the rev range to pull the car out of turns. exciting stuff.




looking forward to how the header/exhaust combo works.

Agree those numbers look good. Its good to see the emphasis on fleshing out the curve rather than just peak numbers. I would be a bit nervous about the exhaust note sound though. Stock the sound is beautiful - I'd need to hear these in person before I pulled the trigger.

in talking to John today, he mentioned how with the PSE off, the exhaust with the sport headers is virtually indistinguishable, whereas with it on you have a much bigger noise. the race headers (which are not relevant to me with a spyder which will see mostly road use) do sound different even with the PSE off.

sport headers sound like an excellent solution here... although my interest in this valvetronic exhaust is piqued also... wonder what the combo would be like.

John those headers look great. I'm sure the results would be similar for the 981 Spyder. This will be the first thing I do to my Spyder.
